Exodus:2:11-4:17

nasb@Exodus:2:11 @Now it came about in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brethren and looked on their hard labors; and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.

nasb@Exodus:2:12 @So he looked this way and that, and when he saw there was no one around, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

nasb@Exodus:2:13 @He went out the next day, and behold, two Hebrews were fighting with each other; and he said to the offender, "Why are you striking your companion?"

nasb@Exodus:2:14 @But he said, " Who made you a prince or a judge over us? Are you intending to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid and said, "Surely the matter has become known."

nasb@Exodus:2:15 @When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he tried to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the presence of Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.

nasb@Exodus:2:16 @Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came to draw water and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

nasb@Exodus:2:17 @Then the shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and helped them and watered their flock.

nasb@Exodus:2:18 @When they came to Reuel their father, he said, "Why have you come back so soon today?"

nasb@Exodus:2:19 @So they said, "An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and what is more, he even drew the water for us and watered the flock."

nasb@Exodus:2:20 @He said to his daughters, "Where is he then? Why is it that you have left the man behind? Invite him to have something to eat."

nasb@Exodus:2:21 @Moses was willing to dwell with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses.

nasb@Exodus:2:22 @Then she gave birth to a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have been a sojourner in a foreign land."

nasb@Exodus:2:23 @Now it came about in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry for help because of their bondage rose up to God.

nasb@Exodus:2:24 @So God heard their groaning; and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

nasb@Exodus:2:25 @God saw the sons of Israel, and God took notice of them.

nasb@Exodus:3:1 @Now Moses was pasturing the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

nasb@Exodus:3:2 @The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.

nasb@Exodus:3:3 @So Moses said, " I must turn aside now and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up."

nasb@Exodus:3:4 @When the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."

nasb@Exodus:3:5 @Then He said, "Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground."

nasb@Exodus:3:6 @He said also, " I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

nasb@Exodus:3:7 @The LORD said, "I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings.

nasb@Exodus:3:8" @So I have come down to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.

nasb@Exodus:3:9" @Now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me; furthermore, I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them.

nasb@Exodus:3:10" @Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt."

nasb@Exodus:3:11 @But Moses said to God, " Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?"

nasb@Exodus:3:12 @And He said, "Certainly I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you- when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God at this mountain."

nasb@Exodus:3:13 @Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?"

nasb@Exodus:3:14 @God said to Moses, " I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"

nasb@Exodus:3:15 @God, furthermore, said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ' 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 My memorial-name to all generations.

nasb@Exodus:3:16" @Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ' The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, " I am indeed concerned about you and what has been done to you in Egypt.

nasb@Exodus:3:17" @So I said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey."'

nasb@Exodus:3:18" @ They will pay heed to what you say; and you with the elders of Israel will come to the king of Egypt and you will say to him, 'The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. So now, please, let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.'

nasb@Exodus:3:19" @But I know that the king of Egypt will not permit you to go, except under compulsion.

nasb@Exodus:3:20" @So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My miracles which I shall do in the midst of it; and after that he will let you go.

nasb@Exodus:3:21" @I will grant this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be that when you go, you will not go empty-handed.

nasb@Exodus:3:22" @But every woman shall ask of her neighbor and the woman who lives in her house, articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; and you will put them on your sons and daughters. Thus you will plunder the Egyptians."

nasb@Exodus:4:1 @Then Moses said, "What if they will not believe me or listen to what I say? For they may say, ' The LORD has not appeared to you.'"

nasb@Exodus:4:2 @The LORD said to him, "What is that in your hand?" And he said, " A staff."

nasb@Exodus:4:3 @Then He said, "Throw it on the ground." So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it.

nasb@Exodus:4:4 @But the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand and grasp it by its tail"--so he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand--

nasb@Exodus:4:5" @that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you."

nasb@Exodus:4:6 @The LORD furthermore said to him, "Now put your hand into your bosom." So he put his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous like snow.

nasb@Exodus:4:7 @Then He said, "Put your hand into your bosom again." So he put his hand into his bosom again, and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, it was restored like the rest of his flesh.

nasb@Exodus:4:8" @If they will not believe you or heed the witness of the first sign, they may believe the witness of the last sign.

nasb@Exodus:4:9" @But if they will not believe even these two signs or heed what you say, then you shall take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground; and the water which you take from the Nile will become blood on the dry ground."

nasb@Exodus:4:10 @Then Moses said to the LORD, "Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in time past, nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue."

nasb@Exodus:4:11 @The LORD said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the LORD?

nasb@Exodus:4:12" @Now then go, and I, even I, will be with your mouth, and teach you what you are to say."

nasb@Exodus:4:13 @But he said, "Please, Lord, now send the message by whomever You will."

nasb@Exodus:4:14 @Then the anger of the LORD burned against Moses, and He said, "Is there not your brother Aaron the Levite? I know that he speaks fluently. And moreover, behold, he is coming out to meet you; when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

nasb@Exodus:4:15" @You are to speak to him and put the words in his mouth; and I, even I, will be with your mouth and his mouth, and I will teach you what you are to do.

nasb@Exodus:4:16" @Moreover, he shall speak for you to the people; and he will be as a mouth for you and you will be as God to him.

nasb@Exodus:4:17" @You shall take in your hand this staff, with which you shall perform the signs."
