Exodus 3
3:1And Moses was tending the sheep of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the sheep by the wilderness. And he came unto the mountain of God -- Horeb.
3:2And appeared to him an angel of the lord in flaming fire from out of the bush. and he saw that the bush burned with fire, but the bush did not incinerate.
3:3And Moses said, Going by I will see this great vision. Why is it that the bush is not incinerated.
3:4And as the lord saw that he neared to see, the lord called him from out of the bush, saying, Moses, Moses. And he said, What is it?
3:5And he said, You should not approach here. Untie the sandal from your feet, for the place in which you stand is holy ground.
3:6And he said to him, I am the God of your father; the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses turned his face, for he venerated to look in the presence of God.
3:7And the lord said to Moses, In seeing, I saw the ill-treatment of my people in Egypt, and their cry I have heard because of the foremen. For I have seen their grief.
3:8And I came down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians, and to lead them from out of that land, and to bring them into a land good and populous; into a land flowing milk and honey; into the place of the Canaanites, and Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Gergesites, and Hivites, and Jebusites.
3:9And now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel is come to me. And I have seen the affliction by which the Egyptians afflict them.
3:10And now, come, I shall send you to Pharaoh king of Egypt. And you shall lead my people the sons of Israel from out of the land of Egypt.
3:11And Moses said to God, Who am I that I shall go to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and that I shall lead out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt?
3:12And God said to Moses, saying that, I will be with you. And this will be to you the sign that I send you in your leading my people from out of Egypt, and you shall serve God in this mountain.
3:13And Moses said to God, Behold, I will go to the sons of Israel, and I shall say to them, The God of our fathers sent me to you. And if they shall ask me, What is the name given to him? What shall I say to them?
3:14And God said to Moses, I am the one being. And he said, Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, The one being has sent me to you.
3:15And God said again to Moses, Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, The lord God of our fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob sent me to you; this is my eternal name, and a memorial for generations to generations.
3:16Going then, gather the council of elders of the sons of Israel! And you shall say to them, The lord God of our fathers appeared to me; the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, saying, In overseeing I have watched you, and as much as has come to pass to you in Egypt.
3:17And he said, I will haul you from the ill treatment of the Egyptians into the land of the Canaanites, and Hittites, and Hivites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Gergesites, and Jebusites, into a land flowing milk and honey.
3:18And they shall hearken to your voice. And you shall enter, and the council of elders of Israel, to Pharaoh king of Egypt. And you shall say to him, The lord God of the Hebrews calls us. We shall go then on a three days journey into the wilderness, that we might sacrifice to the lord our God.
3:19But I know that Pharaoh king of Egypt will not let you go, unless going with a fortified hand,
3:20and stretching out my hand to strike the Egyptians in all my wonders, which I will do among them. And after these things I will send you out.
3:21And I will give favor to this people before the Egyptians. And whenever you might run from them, you will not go forth empty.
3:22But a woman will ask from her neighbor and fellow tent-dweller of items of silver, and of gold, and clothes. And you will place them upon your sons, and upon your daughters, and you will despoil the Egyptians.
