2 And an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a thorn bush. And he saw that the thorn bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not burned.

3 And Moses said, "I will go and see this great manifestation, wherefore the bush is not burned."

4 And the Lord saw that he was coming to look, and God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, "Moses! Moses! And he said, Here am I, [Lord]!

5 And God said, 'Do not come hither; Take off your shoes from your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground.

6 And he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Moses covered his face because he was afraid to look upon God.

7 And the Lord said [to Moses], 'I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their cry from their stewards; I know his sorrows

8 And I am going to deliver him out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring him out of this land, into a good and spacious land, flowing with milk and honey, into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

9 And behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me, and I see the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

10 Therefore go: I will send you to Pharaoh [king of Egypt]; and bring my people out of Egypt, the children of Israel.

11 Moses said to God, 'Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh [king of Egypt], and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?

12 And [God] said, 'I will be with you, and this is a sign to you that I have sent you: when you bring [my] people out of Egypt, you will serve God on this mountain.'

13 And Moses said to God, 'Behold, I will come to the children of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' And they will say to me, What is His name? What should I say to them?

14 God said to Moses, "I am I that I am." And he said, Thus say to the children of Israel, The Eternal has sent me to you.

15 And God said again to Moses, 'Thus say to the children of Israel, 'The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob has sent me to you.' This is My name for ever, and the remembrance of Me from generation to generation.
