* 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 . * 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 . * And Moses said , I will now turn aside , and see this great sight mar #eh #, why the bush is not burnt . * 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 . * 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 Ya #aqob #. And Moses hid his face ; for he was afraid to look upon God . * 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 mak #ob #; * 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 K @na #aniy #, and the Hittites , and the Amorites , and the Perizzites , and the Hivites , and the Jebusites . * 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 . * Come now therefore , and I will send thee unto Pharaoh Par #oh #, 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 Par #oh #, 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 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 . * And Moses said unto God , Behold , when I come unto the children of Israel Yisra #el #, 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 , I AM THAT I AM : and he said , Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel Yisra #el #, I AM hath sent me unto you . * And God said moreover unto Moses , Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel Yisra #el #, The LORD God of your fathers , the God of Abraham , the God of Isaac , and the God of Jacob Ya #aqob #, hath sent me unto you : this is my name for ever , and this is my memorial unto all generations . * Go , and gatherthe elders of Israel together , and say unto them , The LORD God of your fathers , the God of Abraham , of Isaac , and of Jacob Ya #aqob #, 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 Canaanites K @na #aniy #, and the Hittites , and the Amorites , and the Perizzites , and the Hivites , and the Jebusites , 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 Yisra #el #, 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 . * And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go , no , not by a mighty hand . * 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 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 : * 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 .
