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. 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. 3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 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. 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. 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. 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; 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. 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. 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. 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? 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. 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? 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. 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. 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: 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. 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. 19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand. 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. 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: 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.
