Exodus 3:1-10

1Now MosesH4872 was pasturingH7462 the flockH6629 of his father-in-lawH2860 1JethroH3503, the priestH3548 of MidianH4080; and he ledH5090 the flockH6629 to the 2westH310 sideH310 of the wildernessH4057 and cameH935 to 3HorebH2722, the 4mountainH2022 of GodH430. 2Then 5the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 appearedH7200 to him in a blazingH3852 fireH784 from the midstH8432 of 6a 7bushH5572; and he lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, the bushH5572 was burningH1197 with fireH784, yet the bushH5572 was not being consumedH398. 3So MosesH4872 saidH559, “8I must turnH5493 asideH5493 and seeH7200 thisH2088 9marvelousH1419 sightH4758, whyH4069 the bushH5572 is not burningH1197 upH1197!” 4When the LordH3068 sawH7200 that he turnedH5493 asideH5493 to lookH7200, 10GodH430 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; 11removeH5394 your sandalsH5275 from your feetH7272, for the placeH4725 on whichH834 you are standingH5975 is holyH6944 groundH127.” 6And He saidH559, “12I am the GodH430 of your fatherH1--the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, the GodH430 of IsaacH3327, and the GodH430 of JacobH3290.” 13Then MosesH4872 hidH5641 his faceH6440, for he wasH3372 14afraidH3372 to lookH5027 at GodH430.

7And the LordH3068 saidH559, “I have certainlyH7200 15seenH7200 the oppressionH6040 of My peopleH5971 whoH834 are in EgyptH4714, and have heardH8085 their outcryH6818 becauseH4480H6440 of their taskmastersH5065, for I amH3045 awareH3045 of their sufferingsH4341. 8So I have comeH3381 downH3381 16to rescueH5337 them from the 17powerH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and to bringH5927 them upH5927 from that landH776 to a 18goodH2896 and spaciousH7342 landH776, to a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, to the placeH4725 of 19the CanaaniteH3669, the HittiteH2850, the AmoriteH567, the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983. 9And nowH6258, beholdH2009, 20the cryH6818 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 has comeH935 to Me; furthermoreH1571, I have seenH7200 the oppressionH3906 with whichH834 the EgyptiansH4714 are oppressingH3905 them. 10And nowH6258 comeH1980, and I will sendH7971 you to PharaohH6547, 21so that you may bringH3318 My peopleH5971, the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, out of EgyptH4714.”
