And Moyses was shepherding the sheep of Iothor his father-in-law, the priest of Madiam; and he led the sheep beyond the wilderness and came to the mountain Choreb.
And an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the bush; and he sees that the bush is burning with fire, yet the bush was not being consumed.
And he said to him, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraam and the God of Isaak and the God of Jacob.” And Moyses turned his face away, for he was in awe and would not gaze before God.
And the Lord said to Moyses, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of the taskmasters, for I know their pain.”
“And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them out of that land, and to bring them into a good and spacious land, into a land flowing with milk and honey, into the place of the Chananites and Chettites and Amorrites and Pherezites and Gergesites and Heuites and Iebousites.”
And God spoke to Moyses, saying, “I will be with you; and this shall be the sign for you that I am sending you: when you bring my people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”
And Moyses said to God, “Behold, I will go to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you.’ They will ask me, ‘What is his name?’ What shall I say to them?”
And God said again to Moyses, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel: The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraam and the God of Isaak and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is my everlasting name and a memorial for generations to generations.”
“Go then and gather the council of elders of the sons of Israel, and say to them: The Lord, the God of your fathers, has appeared to me—the God of Abraam and the God of Isaak and the God of Jacob—saying, ‘With careful oversight I have watched over you and all that has happened to you in Egypt.’”
“And I said: I will bring you up out of the affliction of the Egyptians into the land of the Chananites and Chettites and Amorrites and Pherezites and Gergesites and Heuites and Iebousites, into a land flowing with milk and honey.”
“And they will listen to your voice; and you and the council of elders of Israel shall go in to Pharao king of Egypt and say to him: The God of the Hebrews has summoned us; let us therefore go a three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to our God.”
“Each woman shall ask of her neighbour and of the one who shares her tent silver vessels and gold ones and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters, and so you shall plunder the Egyptians.”
