Exodus 3

1Now Moses^H4872 was keeping^H1961 the flock^H6629 of Jethro^H3503 his father-in-law^H2859, the priest^H3548 of Midian^H4080: and he led^H5090 the flock^H6629 to the back^H310 of the wilderness^H4057, and came^H935 to the mountain^H2022 of God^H430, unto Horeb^H2722. 2And the angel^H4397 of Jehovah^H3068 appeared^H7200 unto him in a flame^H3827 of fire^H784 out of the midst^H8432 of a bush^H5572: and he looked^H7200, and, behold, the bush^H5572 burned^H1197 with fire^H784, and the bush^H5572 was not consumed^H398. 3And Moses^H4872 said^H559, I will turn aside^H5493 now, and see^H7200 this great^H1419 sight^H4758, why^H4069 the bush^H5572 is not burnt^H1197. 4And when Jehovah^H3068 saw^H7200 that he turned aside^H5493 to see^H7200, God^H430 called^H7121 unto him out of the midst^H8432 of the bush^H5572, and said^H559, Moses^H4872, Moses^H4872. And he said^H559, Here am I. 5And he said^H559, Draw not nigh^H7126 hither^H1988: put off^H5394 thy shoes^H5275 from off thy feet^H7272, for the place^H4725 whereon^H834 thou standest^H5975 is holy^H6944 ground^H127. 6Moreover he said^H559, I am the God^H430 of thy father^H1, the God^H430 of Abraham^H85, the God^H430 of Isaac^H3327, and the God^H430 of Jacob^H3290. And Moses^H4872 hid^H5641 his face^H6440; for he was afraid^H3372 to look^H5027 upon God^H430. 7And Jehovah^H3068 said^H559, I have surely^H7200 seen^H7200 the affliction^H6040 of my people^H5971 that are in Egypt^H4714, and have heard^H8085 their cry^H6818 by reason^H6440 of their taskmasters^H5065; for I know^H3045 their sorrows^H4341; 8and I am come down^H3381 to deliver^H5337 them out of the hand^H3027 of the Egyptians^H4714, and to bring^H5927 them up out of that land^H776 unto a good^H2896 land^H776 and a large^H7342, unto a land^H776 flowing^H2100 with milk^H2461 and honey^H1706; unto the place^H4725 of the Canaanite^H3669, and the Hittite^H2850, and the Amorite^H567, and the Perizzite^H6522, and the Hivite^H2340, and the Jebusite^H2983. 9And now, behold, the cry^H6818 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 is come^H935 unto me: moreover I have seen^H7200 the oppression^H3906 wherewith the Egyptians^H4714 oppress^H3905 them. 10Come^H3212 now therefore, and I will send^H7971 thee unto Pharaoh^H6547, that thou mayest bring forth^H3318 my people^H5971 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 out of Egypt^H4714. 11And Moses^H4872 said^H559 unto God^H430, Who am I, that I should go^H3212 unto Pharaoh^H6547, and that I should bring forth^H3318 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 out of Egypt^H4714? 12And he said^H559, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be the token^H226 unto thee, that^H3588 I have sent^H7971 thee: when thou hast brought forth^H3318 the people^H5971 out of Egypt^H4714, ye shall serve^H5647 God^H430 upon this mountain^H2022. 13And Moses^H4872 said^H559 unto God^H430, Behold, when I come^H935 unto the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, and shall say^H559 unto them, The God^H430 of your fathers^H1 hath sent^H7971 me unto you; and they shall say^H559 to me, What is his name^H8034? What shall I say^H559 unto them? 14And God^H430 said^H559 unto Moses^H4872, I AM^H1961 THAT I AM^H1961: and he said^H559, Thus shalt thou say^H559 unto the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, I AM hath sent^H7971 me unto you. 15And God^H430 said^H559 moreover^H5750 unto Moses^H4872, Thus shalt thou say^H559 unto the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, Jehovah^H3068, the God^H430 of your fathers^H1, the God^H430 of Abraham^H85, the God^H430 of Isaac^H3327, and the God^H430 of Jacob^H3290, hath sent^H7971 me unto you: this is my name^H8034 for ever^H5769, and this is my memorial^H2143 unto all^H1755 generations^H1755. 16Go^H3212, and gather^H622 the elders^H2205 of Israel^H3478 together^H622, and say^H559 unto them, Jehovah^H3068, the God^H430 of your fathers^H1, the God^H430 of Abraham^H85, of Isaac^H3327, and of Jacob^H3290, hath appeared^H7200 unto me, saying^H559, I have surely^H6485 visited^H6485 you, and seen that which is done^H6213 to you in Egypt^H4714: 17and I have said^H559, I will bring^H5927 you up out of the affliction^H6040 of Egypt^H4714 unto the land^H776 of the Canaanite^H3669, and the Hittite^H2850, and the Amorite^H567, and the Perizzite^H6522, and the Hivite^H2340, and the Jebusite^H2983, unto a land^H776 flowing^H2100 with milk^H2461 and honey^H1706. 18And they shall hearken^H8085 to thy voice^H6963: and thou shalt come^H935, thou and the elders^H2205 of Israel^H3478, unto the king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714, and ye shall say^H559 unto him, Jehovah^H3068, the God^H430 of the Hebrews^H5680, hath met^H7136 with us: and now let us go^H3212, we pray thee, three^H7969 days^H3117' journey^H1870 into the wilderness^H4057, that we may sacrifice^H2076 to Jehovah^H3068 our God^H430. 19And I know^H3045 that the king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714 will not give you leave^H5414 to go^H1980, no, not by a mighty^H2389 hand^H3027. 20And I will put forth^H7971 my hand^H3027, and smite^H5221 Egypt^H4714 with all my wonders^H6381 which I will do^H6213 in the midst^H7130 thereof: and after^H310 that he will let you go^H7971. 21And I will give^H5414 this people^H5971 favor^H2580 in the sight^H5869 of the Egyptians^H4714: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go^H3212, ye shall not go^H3212 empty^H7387: 22but every woman^H802 shall ask^H7592 of her neighbor^H7934, and of her that sojourneth^H1481 in her house^H1004, jewels^H3627 of silver^H3701, and jewels^H3627 of gold^H2091, and raiment^H8071: and ye shall put^H7760 them upon your sons^H1121, and upon your daughters^H1323; and ye shall despoil^H5337 the Egyptians^H4714.
