Exodus 3:4-12
4When the LordH3068 sawH7200 that he turnedH5493 asideH5493 to lookH7200, 1GodH430 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; 2removeH5394 your sandalsH5275 from your feetH7272, for the placeH4725 on whichH834 you are standingH5975 is holyH6944 groundH127.” 6He saidH559 also, “3I am the GodH430 of your fatherH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, the GodH430 of IsaacH3327, and the GodH430 of JacobH3290.” 4Then MosesH4872 hidH5641 his faceH6440, for he was 5afraidH3372 to lookH5027 at GodH430.
7The LordH3068 saidH559, “I have surelyH7200 6seenH7200 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 7to deliverH5337 them from the 8powerH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and to bringH5927 them up from that landH776 to a 9goodH2896 and spaciousH7342 landH776, to a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, to the placeH4725 of 10the CanaaniteH3669 and the HittiteH2850 and the AmoriteH567 and the PerizziteH6522 and the HiviteH2340 and the JebusiteH2983. 9NowH6258, beholdH2009, 11the 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, 12so that you may bringH3318 My peopleH5971, the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, out of EgyptH4714.” 11But MosesH4872 saidH559 to GodH430, “13WhoH4310 am I, that I should goH1980 to PharaohH6547, and that I should bringH3318 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714?” 12And He saidH559, “CertainlyH3588 14I will be with you, and thisH2088 shall be the signH226 to you that it is I who have sentH7971 you: 15when you have broughtH3318 the peopleH5971 out of EgyptH4714, 16you shall 17worshipH5647 GodH430 at thisH2088 mountainH2022.”
