Exodus 2 | Exodus 4
Chapter 3
The Lord appears to Moses at the burning bush—Moses is called to deliver Israel from bondage—The Lord identifies Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and as the Great I Am—He promises to smite Egypt and bring His people out with great wealth.
1. Now Moses kept the flock of
Jethro his father in law, the
priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the
mountain of God, even to
Horeb.
1.
2. And the
angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of
fire out of the midst of a
bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
2.
3. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
3.
4. And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God
called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
4.
5. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy
shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is
holy ground.
5.
6. Moreover he said,
I am the
God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was
afraid to
look upon God.
6.
7. ¶And the Lord said, I have surely seen the
affliction of my people which are in
Egypt, and have heard their
cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
7.
8. And I am come
down to
deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land
flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the
Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
8.
9. Now therefore, behold, the
cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
9.
10. Come now therefore, and I will
send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest
bring forth my people the
children of Israel
out of Egypt.
10.
11. ¶And Moses said unto God,
Who am I, that I should go unto
Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
11.
12. And he said, Certainly I will be
with thee; and this shall be
a token unto thee, that I have
sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this
mountain.
12.
13. And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name?
what shall I say unto them?
13.
14. And God said unto Moses,
I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.
14.
15. And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The
Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my
name for ever, and
this is my
memorial unto all generations.
15.
16. Go, and gather the
elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely
visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:
16.
17. And I have said, I will bring you up out of the
affliction of
Egypt unto the land of the
Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the
Jebusites, unto a
land flowing with milk and honey.
17.
18. And they shall
hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The Lord
God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now
let us go, we beseech thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may
sacrifice to the Lord our God.
18.
19. ¶And
I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go,
no, not by a
mighty hand.
19.
20. And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my
wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you
go.
20.
21. And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go
empty:
21.
22. But every woman shall
borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall
spoil the Egyptians.
