02:003:002 And the angel of the lord appeared
unto him in a flame of fire
out
of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold,
the
bush
burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
02:003:003 And Moses said, I will now turn aside,
and see this great
sight,
why the bush is not burnt.
02:003:004 And when the lord saw that he turned
aside to see, God called
unto
him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses,
Moses.
And
he said, Here am I.
02:003:005 And he said, Draw not nigh hither:
put off thy shoes from off
thy
feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
02:003:006 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy 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.
02:003:007 And the lord said, I have surely seen
the affliction of my
people
which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason
of
their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
02:003:008 And I am come down to deliver them out
of the hand of the
Egyptians,
and to bring them up out of that land unto a good
land
and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey;
unto
the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and
the
Amorites,
and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the
Jebusites.
02:003:009 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children
of Israel is
come
unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith
the
Egyptians oppress them.
02:003:010 Come now therefore, and I will send thee
unto Pharaoh, that
thou
mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel
out
of
Egypt.
02:003:011 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that
I should go unto
Pharaoh,
and that I should bring forth the children of Israel
out
of Egypt?
02:003:012 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee;
and this shall be
a
token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou
hast
brought
forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon
this
mountain.
02:003:013 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I
come unto the children
of
Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers
hath
sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is
his
name?
what shall I say unto them?
02:003:014 And God said unto Moses, I am that
I am: and he said, Thus
shalt
thou say unto the children of Israel, I am hath
sent me
unto
you.
