EXODUS 3:1-15
Moses was keeping the flock of
his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led
his flock beyond the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the
mountain of God. There the angel of the LORD appeared to
him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked, and the
bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed. Then Moses
said, "I must turn aside and look at this great sight,
and see why the bush is not burned up." When the LORD
saw that he had turned aside to see, God called to him
out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I
am." Then he said, "Come no closer! Remove the sandals
from your feet, for the place on which you are standing
is holy ground." He said further, "I am the God of your
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 at God.
Then the LORD said, "I have observed the misery of my
people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on
account of their taskmasters. Indeed, I know their
sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them from
the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to
a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and
honey, to the country of the Canaanites, the Hittites,
the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the
Jebusites. The cry of the Israelites has now come to me;
I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them. So
come, I will send you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the
Israelites, out of Egypt." But Moses said to God, "Who
am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the
Israelites out of Egypt?" He said, "I will be with you;
and this shall be the sign for you that it is I who sent
you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you
shall worship God on this mountain."
But Moses said to God, "If I come
to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your
ancestors has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is
his name?' what shall I say to them?" God said to Moses,
"I AM Who I AM." He said further, "Thus you shall say to
the Israelites, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" God also
said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the Israelites,
'The LORD, the God of your ancestors, the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has
sent me to you':
This is my name forever,
and this my title for all
generations."
