Exodus 3:1-15

Exodus 3:1-15

[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,  And he said,  [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.  [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.  [7] And the LORD  said,  I have surely  the affliction  of my people  which are in Egypt,  and have heard  their cry  by reason  of their taskmasters;  for I know  their sorrows;  [8] And I am come down  to deliver  them out of the hand  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  oppress  [10] 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,  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.  [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  and he said,  unto the children  of Israel,  I AM hath sent  [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
