3Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led his flock beyond the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.H4872H1961H7462H6629H3503H2859H3548H4080H5090H6629H310H4057H935H2022H430H2722 2There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed.H4397H3068H7200H3827H784H8432H5572H7200H5572H1197H784H5572H398 3Then Moses said, "I must turn aside and look at this great sight, and see why the bush is not burned up."H4872H559H5493H7200H1419H4758H4069H5572H1197 4When the LORD saw that he had turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."H3068H7200H5493H7200H430H7121H8432H5572H559H4872H4872H559 5Then he said, "Come no closer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground."H559H7126H1988H5394H5275H7272H4725H834H5975H6944H127 6He said further, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.H559H430H1H430H85H430H3327H430H3290H4872H5641H6440H3372H5027H430 7Then the LORD said, "I have observed the misery of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters. Indeed, I know their sufferings,H3068H559H7200H7200H6040H5971H4714H8085H6818H6440H5065H3045H4341 8and I have come down to deliver them from the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the country of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.H3381H5337H3027H4714H5927H776H2896H776H7342H776H2100H2461H1706H4725H3669H2850H567H6522H2340H2983 9The cry of the Israelites has now come to me; I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them.H6818H1121H3478H935H7200H3906H4714H3905 10So come, I will send you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt."H3212H7971H6547H3318H5971H1121H3478H4714 11But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?"H4872H559H430H3212H6547H3318H1121H3478H4714 12He said, "I will be with you; and this shall be the sign for you that it is I who sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God on this mountain."H559H226H3588H7971H3318H5971H4714H5647H430H2022 13But Moses said to God, "If I come to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' what shall I say to them?"H4872H559H430H935H1121H3478H559H430H1H7971H559H8034H559 14God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." He said further, "Thus you shall say to the Israelites, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"H430H559H4872H1961H1961H559H559H1121H3478H7971 15God also said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the Israelites, 'The LORD, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you': This is my name forever, and this my title for all generations.H430H559H5750H4872H559H1121H3478H3068H430H1H430H85H430H3327H430H3290H7971H8034H5769H2143H1755H1755 16Go and assemble the elders of Israel, and say to them, 'The LORD, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying: I have given heed to you and to what has been done to you in Egypt.H3212H622H2205H3478H622H559H3068H430H1H430H85H3327H3290H7200H559H6485H6485H6213H4714 17I declare that I will bring you up out of the misery of Egypt, to the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, a land flowing with milk and honey.'H559H5927H6040H4714H776H3669H2850H567H6522H2340H2983H776H2100H2461H1706 18They will listen to your voice; and you and the elders of Israel shall go to the king of Egypt and say to him, 'The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us; let us now go a three days' journey into the wilderness, so that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.'H8085H6963H935H2205H3478H4428H4714H559H3068H430H5680H7136H3212H7969H3117H1870H4057H2076H3068H430 19I know, however, that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless compelled by a mighty hand.H3045H4428H4714H5414H1980H2389H3027 20So I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders that I will perform in it; after that he will let you go.H7971H3027H5221H4714H6381H6213H7130H310H7971 21I will bring this people into such favor with the Egyptians that, when you go, you will not go empty-handed;H5414H5971H2580H5869H4714H3212H3212H7387 22each woman shall ask her neighbor and any woman living in the neighbor's house for jewelry of silver and of gold, and clothing, and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters; and so you shall plunder the Egyptians."H802H7592H7934H1481H1004H3627H3701H3627H2091H8071H7760H1121H1323H5337H4714
