Chapter 3
Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest
of Midian: and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to the
mountain of God, unto Horeb. And the angel of Jehovah 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. And Moses said, I will turn
aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when
Jehovah 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. And he said,
Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place
whereon thou standest is holy ground. 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. And Jehovah said, I have
surely seen the affliction of my people that are in Egypt, and have heard
their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; 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 Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the
Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. And now,
behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: moreover I have
seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now therefore,
and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the
children of Israel out of Egypt. 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? And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be
the 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.
[See Moses: The leader of Israel.]
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? And God
said unto Moses, ^1 I am that I am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the
children of Israel, ^2 I am hath sent me unto you. And God said moreover unto
Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah, the 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. Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them,
Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob,
hath appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which
is done to you in Egypt: and I have said, I will bring you up out of the
affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the
Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land
flowing with milk and honey. 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, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us: and now
let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may
sacrifice to Jehovah our God. And I know that the king of Egypt will not give
you leave to go, no, not by a mighty band. hand. And I will put forth 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. And I will give this people favor
in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye
shall not go empty: but every woman shall ask of her neighbor, 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
despoil the Egyptians.
