Now Moses[H4872]kept[H1961] the flock[H6629] of Jethro[H3503] his father in law[H2859], the priest[H3548] of Midian[H4080]: and he led[H5090] the flock[H6629] to the backside[H310] of the desert[H4057], and came[H935] to the mountain[H2022] of God[H430], even to Horeb[H2722].
2
And the angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068]appeared[H7200] unto him in a flame[H3827] of fire[H784] out of the midst[H8432] of a bush[H5572]: and he looked[H7200], and, behold, the bush[H5572]burned[H1197] with fire[H784], and the bush[H5572] was not consumed[H398].
3
And Moses[H4872]said[H559], I will now turn aside[H5493], and see[H7200] this great[H1419]sight[H4758], why[H4069] the bush[H5572] is not burnt[H1197].
4
And when the LORD[H3068]saw[H7200] that he turned aside[H5493] to see[H7200], God[H430]called[H7121] unto him out of the midst[H8432] of the bush[H5572], and said[H559], Moses[H4872], Moses[H4872]. And he said[H559], Here am I.
5
And he said[H559], Draw not nigh[H7126]hither[H1988]: put off[H5394] thy shoes[H5275] from off[H5394] thy feet[H7272], for the place[H4725]whereon[H834] thou standest[H5975] is holy[H6944]ground[H127].
6
Moreover he said[H559], I am the God[H430] of thy father[H1], the God[H430] of Abraham[H85], the God[H430] of Isaac[H3327], and the God[H430] of Jacob[H3290]. And Moses[H4872]hid[H5641] his face[H6440]; for he was afraid[H3372] to look[H5027] upon God[H430].
7
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559], I have surely[H7200]seen[H7200] the affliction[H6040] of my people[H5971] which are in Egypt[H4714], and have heard[H8085] their cry[H6818] by reason[H6440] of their taskmasters[H5065]; for I know[H3045] their sorrows[H4341];
8
And I am come down[H3381] to deliver[H5337] them out of the hand[H3027] of the Egyptians[H4714], and to bring[H5927] them up out of that land[H776] unto a good[H2896]land[H776] and a large[H7342], unto a land[H776]flowing[H2100] with milk[H2461] and honey[H1706]; unto the place[H4725] of the Canaanites[H3669], and the Hittites[H2850], and the Amorites[H567], and the Perizzites[H6522], and the Hivites[H2340], and the Jebusites[H2983].
9
Now therefore, behold, the cry[H6818] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] is come[H935] unto me: and I have also seen[H7200] the oppression[H3906] wherewith the Egyptians[H4714]oppress[H3905] them.
10Come[H3212] now therefore, and I will send[H7971] thee unto Pharaoh[H6547], that thou mayest bring forth[H3318] my people[H5971] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] out of Egypt[H4714].
11
And Moses[H4872]said[H559] unto God[H430], Who am I, that I should go[H3212] unto Pharaoh[H6547], and that I should bring forth[H3318] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] out of Egypt?[H4714]
12
And he said[H559], Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token[H226] unto thee, that[H3588] I have sent[H7971] thee: When thou hast brought forth[H3318] the people[H5971] out of Egypt[H4714], ye shall serve[H5647]God[H430] upon this mountain[H2022].
13
And Moses[H4872]said[H559] unto God[H430], Behold, when I come[H935] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], and shall say[H559] unto them, The God[H430] of your fathers[H1] hath sent[H7971] me unto you; and they shall say[H559] to me, What is his name?[H8034] what shall I say[H559] unto them?
14
And God[H430]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], I AM[H1961] THAT I AM[H1961]: and he said[H559], Thus shalt thou say[H559] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], I AM[H1961] hath sent[H7971] me unto you.
15
And God[H430]said[H559]moreover[H5750] unto Moses[H4872], Thus shalt thou say[H559] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], The LORD[H3068]God[H430] of your fathers[H1], the God[H430] of Abraham[H85], the God[H430] of Isaac[H3327], and the God[H430] of Jacob[H3290], hath sent[H7971] me unto you: this is my name[H8034] for ever[H5769], and this is my memorial[H2143] unto all[H1755]generations[H1755].
16Go[H3212], and gather[H622] the elders[H2205] of Israel[H3478]together[H622], and say[H559] unto them, The LORD[H3068]God[H430] of your fathers[H1], the God[H430] of Abraham[H85], of Isaac[H3327], and of Jacob[H3290], appeared[H7200] unto me, saying[H559], I have surely[H6485]visited[H6485] you, and seen that which is done[H6213] to you in Egypt[H4714]:
17
And I have said[H559], I will bring[H5927] you up out of the affliction[H6040] of Egypt[H4714] unto the land[H776] of the Canaanites[H3669], and the Hittites[H2850], and the Amorites[H567], and the Perizzites[H6522], and the Hivites[H2340], and the Jebusites[H2983], unto a land[H776]flowing[H2100] with milk[H2461] and honey[H1706].
18
And they shall hearken[H8085] to thy voice[H6963]: and thou shalt come[H935], thou and the elders[H2205] of Israel[H3478], unto the king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714], and ye shall say[H559] unto him, The LORD[H3068]God[H430] of the Hebrews[H5680] hath met[H7136] with us: and now let us go[H3212], we beseech thee, three[H7969]days[H3117]' journey[H1870] into the wilderness[H4057], that we may sacrifice[H2076] to the LORD[H3068] our God[H430].
19
And I am sure[H3045] that the king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714] will not let[H5414] you go[H1980], no, not by a mighty[H2389]hand[H3027].
20
And I will stretch out[H7971] my hand[H3027], and smite[H5221]Egypt[H4714] with all my wonders[H6381] which I will do[H6213] in the midst[H7130] thereof: and after[H310] that he will let you go[H7971].
21
And I will give[H5414] this people[H5971]favour[H2580] in the sight[H5869] of the Egyptians[H4714]: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go[H3212], ye shall not go[H3212]empty[H7387]:
22
But every woman[H802] shall borrow[H7592] of her neighbour[H7934], and of her that sojourneth[H1481] in her house[H1004], jewels[H3627] of silver[H3701], and jewels[H3627] of gold[H2091], and raiment[H8071]: and ye shall put[H7760] them upon your sons[H1121], and upon your daughters[H1323]; and ye shall spoil[H5337] the Egyptians[H4714].
