== 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<Ref name="place">{{04725}}</Ref> whereon thou standest<Ref name="standest">{{05975}}</Ref> is holy<Ref name="holy">{{06944}}</Ref> ground<Ref name="ground">{{0127}}</Ref>.

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<Ref name="afflict">{{06040}}</Ref>of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their [[cry out|cry]] by reason of their taskmasters<Ref name="nagas">{{05065}}</Ref>; 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 [[Canaan]]ites, 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, [[YHWH|I AM THAT I AM]]<Ref name="iam">{{iam}}</Ref>: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of [[Israel]], I AM<Ref name="iam">{{iam}}</Ref> 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 [[elder]]s of [[Israel]] together<Ref name="gather">{{0622}}</Ref>, and say<Ref name="say">{{0559}}</Ref> 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<Ref name="afflict">{{06040}}</Ref> 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 [[elder]]s 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<Ref name="borrow">{{07592}}</Ref> of her neighbour<Ref>MemShinKufNunTavHey<Br>{{07934}}</Ref>, 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.
