EX-3:1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law,
the priest of
Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and
came to the
mountain of God, [even] to Horeb.
EX-3:2 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.
EX-3:3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this
great sight, why
the bush is not burnt.
EX-3:4 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.
EX-3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes
from off thy
feet, for the place whereon thou standest [is] holy ground.
EX-3:6 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.
EX-3:7 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;
EX-3:8 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.
EX-3:9 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.
EX-3:10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh,
that thou
mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
EX-3:11 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?
EX-3:12 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.
EX-3:13 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?
EX-3:14 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.
EX-3:15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say
unto the
children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of
Abraham, the God
of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this [is]
my name for
ever, and this [is] my memorial unto all generations.
EX-3:16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say
unto them, The
LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of
Jacob, appeared
unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and [seen] that
which is done to
you in Egypt:
EX-3:17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the
affliction of Egypt
unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the
Amorites, and the
Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land
flowing with milk
and honey.
EX-3:18 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt
come, thou and
the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say
unto him, The
LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we
beseech thee,
three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice
to the LORD our
God.
EX-3:19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you
go, no, not by
a mighty hand.
EX-3:20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with
all my wonders
which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let
you go.
EX-3:21 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the
Egyptians: and
it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:
EX-3:22 But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of
her that
sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold,
and raiment:
and ye shall put [them] upon your sons, and upon your daughters;
and ye shall
spoil the Egyptians.
