¹Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, when he drove the flock to the hinder part of the desert and came to the mountain of God, Horeb, ²and the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a fiery flame from the middle of the bush. And he looked, and what he saw was a bush burning in the fire, but the bush was not being consumed. ³And Moses said, “I will just turn aside and look at this great spectacle, so as to see why the bush isn't burnt up.” ⁴And the Lord saw that he had turned aside to look, and God called out to him from within the bush and said, “Moses, Moses.” And he said, “Here I am.” ⁵Then he said, “Do not come near here. Take your shoes off your feet, for the place which you are standing on is holy ground.” ⁶And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid of looking at God. ⁷And the Lord said, “I have clearly seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and heard their cry on account of their taskmasters, for I know their pains. ⁸And I have come down to deliver them from Egypt's grip, to bring them up from that land to a good and wide land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. ⁹So now, what has happened is that the cry of the sons of Israel has come to me, and I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them. ¹⁰So now, go, and I will send you to Pharaoh, and bring my people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.” ¹¹Then Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?” ¹²And he said, “Be assured that I will be with you, and this will be a sign to you, that I have sent you: when you bring the people out of Egypt, you will serve God on this mountain.” ¹³Then Moses said to God, “Look, when I go to the sons of Israel and I say to them, ‘The God of your fathers sent me to you’, they will say to me, ‘What is his name?’ What should I say to them?” ¹⁴And God said to Moses, “I am what I am”, and he said, “This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘I am has sent me to you.’ ” ¹⁵Then God spoke again to Moses: “This is what you will say to the sons 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 age-abidingly, and this is my memorial from generation to generation. ¹⁶Go, and gather the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘The Lord God of your fathers appeared to me, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and he said, «I will certainly visit you and that which has been done to you in Egypt. ¹⁷And I have said, ‹I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.› » ’ ¹⁸And they will comply with you, and both you and the elders of Israel will go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews has met up with us, so now, kindly let us go three days' journey into the desert so we can sacrifice to the Lord our God.’ ¹⁹And I know that the king of Egypt will not permit you to go, and not so with a strong hand. ²⁰But 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. ²¹And I will give this people grace in the eyes of Egypt, and it will be the case that when you go, you will not go empty-handed. ²²And a woman will ask from her neighbour, and from her that is staying in her house, for items of silver and items of gold, and clothes, and you will put them on your sons and on your daughters, and you will despoil Egypt.”
