Exodus 3:2-10

21The angelH4397 of the LordH3068 appearedH7200 to him in a blazingH3852 fireH784 from the midstH8432 of 2a 3bushH5572; and he lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, the bushH5572 was burningH1197 with fireH784, yet the bushH5572 was not consumedH398. 3So MosesH4872 saidH559, “45I must turnH5493 asideH5493 nowH4994 and seeH7200 thisH2088 6marvelousH1419 sightH4758, whyH4069 the bushH5572 is not burnedH1197 up.” 4When the LordH3068 sawH7200 that he turnedH5493 asideH5493 to lookH7200, 7GodH430 calledH7121 to him from the midstH8432 of the bushH5572 and saidH559, “MosesH4872, MosesH4872!” And he saidH559, “HereH2009 I am.” 5Then He saidH559, “Do not comeH7126 nearH7126 hereH1988; 8removeH5394 your sandalsH5275 from your feetH7272, for the placeH4725 on whichH834 you are standingH5975 is holyH6944 groundH127.” 6He saidH559 also, “9I am the GodH430 of your fatherH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, the GodH430 of IsaacH3327, and the GodH430 of JacobH3290.” 10Then MosesH4872 hidH5641 his faceH6440, for he was 11afraidH3372 to lookH5027 at GodH430.

7The LordH3068 saidH559, “I have surelyH7200 12seenH7200 the afflictionH6040 of My peopleH5971 whoH834 are in EgyptH4714, and have givenH8085 heedH8085 to their cryH6818 becauseH4480H6440 of their taskmastersH5065, for I am awareH3045 of their sufferingsH4341. 8So I have comeH3381 downH3381 13to deliverH5337 them from the 14powerH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and to bringH5927 them up from that landH776 to a 15goodH2896 and spaciousH7342 landH776, to a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, to the placeH4725 of 16the CanaaniteH3669 and the HittiteH2850 and the AmoriteH567 and the PerizziteH6522 and the HiviteH2340 and the JebusiteH2983. 9NowH6258, beholdH2009, 17the cryH6818 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 has comeH935 to Me; furthermoreH1571, I have seenH7200 the oppressionH3906 with whichH834 the EgyptiansH4714 are oppressingH3905 them. 10Therefore, comeH1980 nowH6258, and I will sendH7971 you to PharaohH6547, 18so that you may bringH3318 My peopleH5971, the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, out of EgyptH4714.”
