Exodus 3

The Pillar of fire and the fiery chariots of the Bible may have been the same thing seen glowing in the sky but described at different times. They both seem to have the power of movement, glowed at night,[1] and had someone inside who could be physically transported in them. |

Moses was a shepherd of the flock of Jethro a priest[2] of Midian. |
He saw what looked like a burning bush but it did not consume so he went to see it up-close turning from what he was doing. This light on the desert which he saw as a burning bush at first he had no other words to describe. He talked to a voice coming from this "burning bush". It was the LORD which appeared unto him inside this "burning bush". |
V5 "Draw not nigh hither" is the Hebrew KufReishBeit[3] is tiqraḇ TavKufReishBeit תִּקְרַ֣ב[3] which is a clear statement to not enter into the "burning bush". And He is told to remove his shoes "for the place[4] whereon thou". Between "standest"[5] and "is holy[6] ground"[7] we see an untranslated עָלָ֔יו alaw AyinLamedYodVav instead of the more common preposition AyinLamed[8]. |
I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. |
He has chosen this time to deliver them out of bondage and they will take a spoil. |
What is his name? I AM THAT I AM |
The Hebrew Biblical for these translations is the word of “YHWH,” revealed to Moses in the book of Exodus chaper 3 is a name consisting of the sequence of consonants Yod, Hey, Vav, and Hey, and is known as the tetragrammaton. |

V10, 11, 12 all repeat "out of Egypt". 12V "ye shall serve[9] God upon this mountain.[10]" |
V16 the terms "gather the elders of Israel together"[11] in not the root word AlefSemechPei but includes the idea of setting apart and faith VavAlefSemechPeiTav. Even the word telling Moses to "say"[12] but is not just the root word AlefMemReish also includes the additional Tav and Vav and appears as VavAlefMemReishTav. |
V17 Brought "out of the affliction[13] of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites[14]. See Merchants of men. |
V18 The phrase "we may sacrifice"[15] is not the root word ZayinBeitChet but is the Hebrew word wənizbəḥāh consisting of the additional letters VavNunZayinBeitChetHey. |
V22 The word translated "borrow" appears with these Hebrew letters VavShinAlefLamedHey only once in the Bible and can mean to ask, enquire, desire, or even require or demand.[16] |

The Burning Bush
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.
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.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
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.
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place[4] whereon thou standest[5] is holy[6] ground[7].
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.
Heard their cries
7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction[13]of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters[17]; for I know their sorrows;
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
The name
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?
14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM[18]: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM[18] hath sent me unto you.
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.
Gather elders
16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together[11], and say[12] 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:
17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction[13] 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.
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.
He will not let you go
19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
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.
Take a spoil
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:
22 But every woman shall borrow[16] of her neighbour[19], 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.

- ↑ 18.0 18.1 ==The I AM ==
We know we exist because we think but what is the source of our thinking?
What guides or leads our thoughts?
Is it really the Empirical knowledge through our sense as we perceived the world or is there a connection to that which is the unmoved mover that moved upon the waters of creation or the formation of what we perceive as the universe?
Is there a meaning found in the allegory of the two trees where that ancient and naked couple fled the light into the darkness of the world?
Is it that light of the I AM that reveals the truths of I am in our own hearts and minds if we have the humility to see our own nakedness?
Reference I am
- Exodus 3:14 "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. ";
- John 8:24 “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” (present tense)
- John 8:28 “Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.” (future tense)
- John 8:58 “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” (past tense)
Jesus honoured, which is to magnify the Creator, rather than himself.
- John 8:54 "Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:"
The Creator is the Father who gives life. To take life is contrary to the Logos of the I am The I am is the preexisting breath of the Creator of the Divine Will. Jesus was one with the logos of the "I am" of God made flesh.
The people did not know the God that gave them life because the did not want to see themself in the light of His truth. Jesus brought the light and those that hated the light hated Him.
- John 8:55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
Many may think they are born again but they do not love the light. They say Lord, Lord but are under a strong delusion and invent the doctrines of men so they may remain in darkness and in denial about the true Logos of God.
- John 9:9;“Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.”
- John 10:9 “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”
- John 13:19 “Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.”
- John 14 “3 ... where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way(Egō eimi hē hodos), the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me(emou)... 9 ... Shew us the Father? 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? ... but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: ... 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.”
