17ButG1161 whenG2531 the timeG3588G5550 of the promiseG3588G1860 drew nighG1448, whichG3739 GodG3588G2316 had swornG3660 to AbrahamG11, the peopleG3588G2992 grewG837 andG2532 multipliedG4129 inG1722 EgyptG125, 18TillG891 anotherG2087 kingG935 aroseG450, whichG3739 knewG1492 notG3756 JosephG2501. 19The sameG3778 dealt subtillyG2686 withG3588G1085 ourG1473 kindredG3588G1085, and evil entreatedG2559 ourG1473 fathersG3588G3962, so that theyG4160 cast outG1570 theirG846 young childrenG3588G1025, to the endG1519 they mightG2225 notG3361 liveG2225. 20InG1722 whichG3739 timeG2540 MosesG3475 was bornG1080, andG2532 wasG1510 exceedingG3588G2316 fairG791, andG2532 nourished upG397 inG1722 hisG846 father’sG3588G3962 houseG3588G3624 threeG5140 monthsG3376: 21AndG1161 whenG1620 heG846 was cast outG1620, Pharaoh’sG5328 daughterG3588G2364 tookG397 himG846 up, and nourishedG397 himG846 forG1519 her ownG1438 sonG5207. 22AndG2532 MosesG3475 was learnedG3811 in allG3956 the wisdomG4678 of the EgyptiansG124, andG1161 wasG1510 mightyG1415 inG1722 wordsG3056 andG2532 inG1722 deedsG2041. 23AndG1161 whenG5613 heG846 was fullG4137 forty yearsG5063 oldG5550, it cameG305 intoG1909 hisG846 heartG3588G2588 to visitG1980 hisG846 brethrenG3588G80 the childrenG3588G5207 of IsraelG2474. 24AndG2532 seeingG3708 oneG5100 of them suffer wrongG91, he defendedG292 him, andG2532 avengedG1557 him that was oppressedG2669, andG2532 smoteG3960 the EgyptianG124: 25ForG1161 he supposedG3543 hisG846 brethrenG3588G80 would have understoodG4920 how thatG3754 GodG3588G2316 byG1223 hisG846 handG5495 would deliverG1325 themG846: butG1161 they understoodG4920 notG3756. 26AndG1161 the nextG3588G1966 dayG2250 he shewed himselfG3708 unto themG846 as they stroveG3164, andG2532 would have setG4900 themG846 atG1519 oneG1515 againG4900, sayingG3004, SirsG435, yeG4771 areG1510 brethrenG80; whyG5101 do ye wrongG91 one to anotherG240? 27ButG1161 he that didG91 his neighbourG4139 wrongG91 thrustG683 himG846 awayG683, sayingG3004, WhoG5101 madeG2525 theeG4771 a rulerG758 andG2532 a judgeG1348 overG1909 usG1473? 28WiltG3361 thouG4771 killG337 meG1473, asG3739G5158 thou diddestG337 the EgyptianG3588G124 yesterdayG5504? 29ThenG1161 fledG5343 MosesG3475 atG1722 thisG3778 sayingG3588G3056, andG2532 wasG1096 a strangerG3941 inG1722 the landG1093 of MidianG3099, whereG3757 he begatG1080 twoG1417 sonsG5207. 30AndG2532 whenG4137 fortyG5062 yearsG2094 were expiredG4137, there appearedG3708 to himG846 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 of mountG3588G3735 SinaiG4614 an angelG32 of the LordG2962 inG1722 a flameG5395 of fireG4442 in a bushG942. 31WhenG1161 MosesG3475 sawG3708 it, he wonderedG2296 at the sightG3588G3705: andG1161 as he drew nearG4334 to beholdG2657 it, the voiceG5456 of the LordG2962 cameG1096 untoG4314 himG846, 32Saying, IG1473 am the GodG3588G2316 ofG3588G3962 thyG4771 fathersG3588G3962, the GodG3588G2316 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 the GodG3588G2316 of IsaacG2464, andG2532 the GodG3588G2316 of JacobG2384. ThenG1161 MosesG3475 trembledG1790, and durstG5111 notG3756 beholdG2657. 33ThenG1161 saidG3004 the LordG3588G2962 to himG846, Put offG3089 thyG4771 shoesG3588G5266 fromG3588G4228 thyG4771 feetG3588G4228: forG1063 the placeG5117 whereG3739 thou standestG2476 isG1510 holyG40 groundG1093. 34I have seenG3708, I have seenG3708 the afflictionG3588G2561 ofG3588G2992 myG1473 peopleG3588G2992 whichG3588 is inG1722 EgyptG125, andG2532 I have heardG191 theirG846 groaningG3588G4726, andG2532 am come downG2597 to deliverG1807 themG846. AndG2532 nowG3568 comeG1204, I will sendG649 theeG4771 intoG1519 EgyptG125. 35ThisG3778 MosesG3588G3475 whomG3739 they refusedG720, sayingG3004, WhoG5101 madeG2525 theeG4771 a rulerG758 andG2532 a judgeG1348? the sameG3778 didG649 GodG3588G2316 sendG649 to be a rulerG758 andG2532 a delivererG3086 byG1722 the handG5495 of the angelG32 whichG3588 appearedG3708 to himG846 inG1722 the bushG942. 36HeG3778 broughtG1806 themG846 outG1806, after that he had shewedG4160 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592 inG1722 the landG1093 of EgyptG125, andG2532 inG1722 theG2281 Red seaG2281, andG2532 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 fortyG5062 yearsG2094. 37
