3Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.H4872H1961H7462H6629H3503H2859H3548H4080H5090H6629H310H4057H935H2022H430H2722 2And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.H4397H3068H7200H3827H784H8432H5572H7200H5572H1197H784H5572H398 3Then Moses said, "I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn."H4872H559H5493H7200H1419H4758H4069H5572H1197 4So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."H3068H7200H5493H7200H430H7121H8432H5572H559H4872H4872H559 5Then He said, "Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground."H559H7126H1988H5394H5275H7272H4725H834H5975H6944H127 6Moreover 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 upon God.H559H430H1H430H85H430H3327H430H3290H4872H5641H6440H3372H5027H430 7And the LORD said: "I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.H3068H559H7200H7200H6040H5971H4714H8085H6818H6440H5065H3045H4341 8"So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.H3381H5337H3027H4714H5927H776H2896H776H7342H776H2100H2461H1706H4725H3669H2850H567H6522H2340H2983 9"Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.H6818H1121H3478H935H7200H3906H4714H3905 10"Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt."H3212H7971H6547H3318H5971H1121H3478H4714 11But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?"H4872H559H430H3212H6547H3318H1121H3478H4714 12So He said, "I will certainly be with you. And this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain."H559H226H3588H7971H3318H5971H4714H5647H430H2022 13Then Moses said to God, "Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel 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 He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"H430H559H4872H1961H1961H559H559H1121H3478H7971 15Moreover God said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: 'The LORD God of your fathers, 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 is My memorial to all generations.'H430H559H5750H4872H559H1121H3478H3068H430H1H430H85H430H3327H430H3290H7971H8034H5769H2143H1755H1755 16"Go and gather the elders of Israel together, 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 what is done to you in Egypt;H3212H622H2205H3478H622H559H3068H430H1H430H85H3327H3290H7200H559H6485H6485H6213H4714 17"and I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey."'H559H5927H6040H4714H776H3669H2850H567H6522H2340H2983H776H2100H2461H1706 18"Then they will heed your voice; and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt; and you shall say to him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.'H8085H6963H935H2205H3478H4428H4714H559H3068H430H5680H7136H3212H7969H3117H1870H4057H2076H3068H430 19"But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand.H3045H4428H4714H5414H1980H2389H3027 20"So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go.H7971H3027H5221H4714H6381H6213H7130H310H7971 21"And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be, when you go, that you shall not go empty-handed.H5414H5971H2580H5869H4714H3212H3212H7387 22"But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, namely, of her who dwells near her house, articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians."H802H7592H7934H1481H1004H3627H3701H3627H2091H8071H7760H1121H1323H5337H4714
