3NOW MOSES kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the back {or} west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb {or} Sinai, the mountain of God.H4872H1961H7462H6629H3503H2859H3548H4080H5090H6629H310H4057H935H2022H430H2722 2The Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, yet was not consumed.H4397H3068H7200H3827H784H8432H5572H7200H5572H1197H784H5572H398 3And Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.H4872H559H5493H7200H1419H4758H4069H5572H1197 4And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I.H3068H7200H5493H7200H430H7121H8432H5572H559H4872H4872H559 5God said, Do not come near; put your shoes off your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground.H559H7126H1988H5394H5275H7272H4725H834H5975H6944H127 6Also He said, 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 7And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters {and} oppressors; for I know their sorrows {and} sufferings {and} trials.H3068H559H7200H7200H6040H5971H4714H8085H6818H6440H5065H3045H4341 8And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand {and} power of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a land good and large, a land flowing with milk and honey [a land of plenty]--to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.H3381H5337H3027H4714H5927H776H2896H776H7342H776H2100H2461H1706H4725H3669H2850H567H6522H2340H2983 9Now behold, the cry of the Israelites has come to Me, and I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them.H6818H1121H3478H935H7200H3906H4714H3905 10Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth My people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.H3212H7971H6547H3318H5971H1121H3478H4714 11And Moses said to God, Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?H4872H559H430H3212H6547H3318H1121H3478H4714 12God said, I will surely be with you; and this shall be the sign to you that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain [Horeb, or Sinai].H559H226H3588H7971H3318H5971H4714H5647H430H2022 13And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come to the Israelites and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they say to me, What is His name? What shall I say to them?H4872H559H430H935H1121H3478H559H430H1H7971H559H8034H559 14And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM {and} WHAT I AM, {and} I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE; and He said, You shall say this to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you!H430H559H4872H1961H1961H559H559H1121H3478H7971 15God said also to Moses, This shall you say to the Israelites: The Lord, the God of your fathers, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has sent me to you! This is My name forever, and by this name I am to be remembered to all generations.H430H559H5750H4872H559H1121H3478H3068H430H1H430H85H430H3327H430H3290H7971H8034H5769H2143H1755H1755 16Go, gather the elders of Israel together [the mature teachers and tribal leaders], and say to them, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you and seen that which is done to you in Egypt;H3212H622H2205H3478H622H559H3068H430H1H430H85H3327H3290H7200H559H6485H6485H6213H4714 17And I have declared that I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.H559H5927H6040H4714H776H3669H2850H567H6522H2340H2983H776H2100H2461H1706 18And [the elders] shall believe {and} obey your voice; and you shall go, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt and you shall say to him, The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now let us go, we beseech you, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.H8085H6963H935H2205H3478H4428H4714H559H3068H430H5680H7136H3212H7969H3117H1870H4057H2076H3068H430 19And I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go [unless forced to do so], no, not by a mighty hand.H3045H4428H4714H5414H1980H2389H3027 20So I will stretch out My hand and smite Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in it; and after that he will let you go.H7971H3027H5221H4714H6381H6213H7130H310H7971 21And I will give this people favor {and} respect in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed.H5414H5971H2580H5869H4714H3212H3212H7387 22But every woman shall [insistently] solicit of her neighbor and of her that may be residing at her house jewels and articles of silver and gold, and garments, which you shall put on your sons and daughters; and you shall strip the Egyptians [of belongings due to you].H802H7592H7934H1481H1004H3627H3701H3627H2091H8071H7760H1121H1323H5337H4714
