No, not if we are talking about Exodus 3:12. In that verse YHWH says 
'EHYEH `IMMAK, "I am/will be with you (singular)", cf. KJV "I will be 
with thee". This singular "you" must refer to Moses alone, not to the 
Israelites. There is a change to plural "you" only in the last clause of 
this verse, "you will worship God on this mountain".
