King James Version
Meanwhile,
Moses was
shepherding
the flock of his father -
in -
law Jethro
, the priest of Midian .
He led the flock to the far
side
of the wilderness
and came to Horeb,
the mountain of God.
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
.
There
the angel of the LORD appeared to
him in a blazing
fire from
within
a bush .
Moses
saw
the bush ablaze
with fire, but
it
was not consumed.
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.
So
Moses thought
, “
I must
go
over
and see this marvelous
sight .
Why is
the bush not burning
up?”
And
Moses said
, I will
now
turn
aside,
and see this great
sight ,
why the bush is
not burnt.
When the LORD saw that he had
gone
over
to look
, God called out
to
him from
within
the bush, “
Moses, Moses !”
“
Here I
am ,”
he
answered
.
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
.
“Do
not
come
any
closer,”
God
said .
“Take
off your
sandals
, for the place where
you
are
standing
is holy ground. ”
And
he
said ,
Draw
not
nigh
hither:
put
off thy
shoes
from
off
thy
feet
, for the place whereon
thou
standest
is holy ground.
Then
He said, “
I am the God of your
father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. ”
At
this,
Moses hid his face ,
for he was afraid to look at
God.
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.
The LORD said, “
I have indeed
seen the affliction of My people in Egypt .
I
have heard them
crying
out
because
of their oppressors,
and
I am
aware
of
their sufferings.
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;
I have
come down to rescue
them from
the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to
a good and
spacious
land, a land flowing with milk and honey —
the home
of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
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.
And
now the cry of the Israelites
has
reached
Me ,
and I have seen how
severely
the Egyptians are
oppressing
them.
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.
Therefore, go!
I am
sending
you
to
Pharaoh to
bring My people the Israelites
out of Egypt. ”
Come
now
therefore, and
I will
send
thee
unto
Pharaoh ,
that
thou
mayest
bring forth
my people the children
of
Israel
out of Egypt.
But
Moses asked
God, “
Who am I, that I should go to
Pharaoh and bring the Israelites
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?
“
I will surely
be with you,”
God
said,
“
and this will
be the
sign
to
you
that I have sent you
: When you
have
brought the people out of Egypt, all
of
you
will
worship
God on
this mountain. ”
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.
Then
Moses asked
God, “Suppose
I go
to
the Israelites
and say to
them, ‘
The God of your fathers has
sent me to
you ,’
and they ask
me, ‘
What is His name? ’
What should
I tell
them? ”
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?
God said to
Moses, “
I AM WHO
I AM .
This
is
what
you
are
to
say to
the Israelites:
‘
I AM has
sent me to
you. ’”
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.
God also
told
Moses, “
Say to
the Israelites
, ‘
The LORD ,
the
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 forever
, and this is how
I
am
to
be
remembered
in
every
generation
.
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
.
Go, assemble
the elders of Israel and say to
them, ‘
The LORD ,
the
God of your fathers —
the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob —has
appeared to
me and
said:
I have surely attended
to
you and have
seen what
has
been
done to you in Egypt .
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 :
And I have promised
to
bring you up out of your
affliction in
Egypt ,
into
the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites —
a land flowing with milk and honey. ’
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.
The elders of Israel will
listen
to
what
you
say
, and
you
must
go
with
them
to
the king of Egypt and tell
him, ‘
The LORD ,
the
God of the Hebrews ,
has
met with us .
Now please
let us take
a
three -day
journey into the wilderness, so
that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God. ’
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.
But
I know
that the king of Egypt will not allow
you to
go unless
a mighty hand compels
him
.
And
I am
sure
that the king of Egypt will not let
you go ,
no,
not
by
a mighty hand.
So
I will stretch out My hand and strike
the
Egyptians
with all the
wonders I will perform
among
them.
And after that ,
he will release
you.
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
.
And I will grant
this people such
favor in the sight of the Egyptians that when you
leave
, you
will
not go away
empty -handed
.
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.
Every woman shall ask
her neighbor and any
woman
staying
in her house for
silver and gold jewelry
and
clothing
, and you
will
put them on
your sons and daughters .
So
you
will
plunder
the Egyptians. ”
But
every woman shall borrow
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
spoil
the Egyptians.
