03:001
Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro his
father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the farthest end of
the wilderness, and came to the mountain of G-d, unto Horeb
03:002
And the angel of HaShem 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
03:003
And Moses said: 'I will turn aside now, and see this great
sight, why the bush is not burnt.
03:004
And when HaShem saw that he turned aside to see, G-d called
unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said: 'Moses, Moses.' And he said:
'Here am I.
03:005
And He said: 'Draw not nigh hither; put off thy shoes from
off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
03:006
Moreover He said: 'I am the G-d of thy father, the G-d of
Abraham, the G-d of Isaac, and the G-d of Jacob.' And Moses hid his face; for he
was afraid to look upon G-d.
seen the affliction of My people that are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by
reason of their taskmasters; for I know their pains
03:008
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 Canaanite, and
the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the
Jebusite
03:009
And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come
unto Me; moreover I have seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress
them
03:010
Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh,
that thou mayest bring forth My people the children of Israel out of Egypt.'
And Moses said unto G-d: 'Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I
should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
03:012
And He said: 'Certainly I will be with thee; and this
shall be the token unto thee, that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought
forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve G-d upon this mountain.
03:013
And Moses said unto G-d: 'Behold, when I come unto the
children of Israel, and shall say unto them: The G-d of your fathers hath sent
me unto you; and they shall say to me: What is His name? what shall I say unto
them?
03:014
And G-d 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.
03:015
And G-d said moreover unto Moses: 'Thus shalt thou say
unto the children of Israel: HaShem, the G-d of your fathers, the G-d of
Abraham, the G-d of Isaac, and the G-d of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this is
My name for ever, and this is My memorial unto all generations.
Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them: HaShem, the G-d
of your fathers, the G-d of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared unto
me, saying: I have surely remembered you, and seen that which is done to you in
Egypt
03:017
And I have said: I will bring you up out of the affliction
of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and
the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land flowing with milk
and honey
03:018
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: HaShem, the G-d of the Hebrews, hath met with us. And now let us go, we
pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to
HaShem our G-d
03:019
And I know that the king of Egypt will not give you leave
to go, except by a mighty hand
03:020
And I will put forth 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
03:021
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
03:022
but every woman shall ask 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.
