3
Then Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great vision, 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, Do not come near; take off thy shoes from thy feet, for the place upon which thou dost stand
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. Then Moses covered his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.
7
And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who
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 and broad land, unto a land flowing with milk and honey, unto the places of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.
9
Therefore, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has now come before me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
10
Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh that thou may bring forth my people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.
11
Then Moses said unto God, Who
am I that I should go unto Pharaoh and that I should bring forth the sons 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 sons of Israel and say unto them, The God of your fathers has sent me unto you, and if they say to me, What
is his name? What shall I say unto them?
