3:1 | Now Moses <04872> kept <01961> (8804) <07462> (8802) the flock <06629> of Jethro <03503> his father in law <02859> (8802), the priest <03548> of Midian <04080>: and he led <05090> (8799) the flock <06629> to the backside <0310> of the desert <04057>, and came <0935> (8799) to the mountain <02022> of God <0430>, [even] to Horeb <02722>. |
3:2 | And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> (8735) unto him in a flame <03827> of fire <0784> out of the midst <08432> of a bush <05572>: and he looked <07200> (8799), and, behold, the bush <05572> burned <01197> (8802) with fire <0784>, and the bush <05572> [was] not consumed <0398> (8794). |
3:3 | And Moses <04872> said <0559> (8799), I will now turn aside <05493> (8799), and see <07200> (8799) this great <01419> sight <04758>, why <04069> the bush <05572> is not burnt <01197> (8799). |
3:4 | And when the LORD <03068> saw <07200> (8799) that he turned aside <05493> (8804) to see <07200> (8800), God <0430> called <07121> (8799) unto him out of the midst <08432> of the bush <05572>, and said <0559> (8799), Moses <04872>, Moses <04872>. And he said <0559> (8799), Here [am] I. |
3:5 | And he said <0559> (8799), Draw not nigh <07126> (8799) hither <01988>: put off <05394> (8798) thy shoes <05275> from off thy feet <07272>, for the place <04725> whereon <0834> thou standest <05975> (8802) [is] holy <06944> ground <0127>. |
3:6 | Moreover he said <0559> (8799), I [am] the God <0430> of thy father <01>, the God <0430> of Abraham <085>, the God <0430> of Isaac <03327>, and the God <0430> of Jacob <03290>. And Moses <04872> hid <05641> (8686) his face <06440>; for he was afraid <03372> (8804) to look <05027> (8687) upon God <0430>. |
3:7 | And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799), I have surely <07200> (8800) seen <07200> (8804) the affliction <06040> of my people <05971> which [are] in Egypt <04714>, and have heard <08085> (8804) their cry <06818> by reason <06440> of their taskmasters <05065> (8802); for I know <03045> (8804) their sorrows <04341>; |
3:8 | And I am come down <03381> (8799) to deliver <05337> (8687) them out of the hand <03027> of the Egyptians <04714>, and to bring <05927> (8687) them up out of that land <0776> unto a good <02896> land <0776> and a large <07342>, unto a land <0776> flowing <02100> (8802) with milk <02461> and honey <01706>; unto the place <04725> of the Canaanites <03669>, and the Hittites <02850>, and the Amorites <0567>, and the Perizzites <06522>, and the Hivites <02340>, and the Jebusites <02983>. |
3:9 | Now therefore, behold, the cry <06818> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> is come <0935> (8804) unto me: and I have also seen <07200> (8804) the oppression <03906> wherewith the Egyptians <04714> oppress <03905> (8801) them. |
3:10 | Come <03212> (8798) now therefore, and I will send <07971> (8799) thee unto Pharaoh <06547>, that thou mayest bring forth <03318> (8685) my people <05971> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> out of Egypt <04714>. |
3:11 | And Moses <04872> said <0559> (8799) unto God <0430>, Who [am] I, that I should go <03212> (8799) unto Pharaoh <06547>, and that I should bring forth <03318> (8686) the children <01121> of Israel <03478> out of Egypt <04714>? |
3:12 | And he said <0559> (8799), Certainly I will be with thee; and this [shall be] a token <0226> unto thee, that <03588> I have sent <07971> (8804) thee: When thou hast brought forth <03318> (8687) the people <05971> out of Egypt <04714>, ye shall serve <05647> (8799) God <0430> upon this mountain <02022>. |
3:13 | And Moses <04872> said <0559> (8799) unto God <0430>, Behold, [when] I come <0935> (8802) unto the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and shall say <0559> (8804) unto them, The God <0430> of your fathers <01> hath sent <07971> (8804) me unto you; and they shall say <0559> (8804) to me, What [is] his name <08034>? what shall I say <0559> (8799) unto them? |
3:14 | And God <0430> said <0559> (8799) unto Moses <04872>, I AM <01961> (8799) THAT I AM <01961> (8799): and he said <0559> (8799), Thus shalt thou say <0559> (8799) unto the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, I AM hath sent <07971> (8804) me unto you. |
3:15 | And God <0430> said <0559> (8799) moreover <05750> unto Moses <04872>, Thus shalt thou say <0559> (8799) unto the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, The LORD <03068> God <0430> of your fathers <01>, the God <0430> of Abraham <085>, the God <0430> of Isaac <03327>, and the God <0430> of Jacob <03290>, hath sent <07971> (8804) me unto you: this [is] my name <08034> for ever <05769>, and this [is] my memorial <02143> unto all <01755> generations <01755>. |
3:16 | Go <03212> (8798), and gather <0622> (0) the elders <02205> of Israel <03478> together <0622> (8804), and say <0559> (8804) unto them, The LORD <03068> God <0430> of your fathers <01>, the God <0430> of Abraham <085>, of Isaac <03327>, and of Jacob <03290>, appeared <07200> (8738) unto me, saying <0559> (8800), I have surely <06485> (8800) visited <06485> (8804) you, and [seen] that which is done <06213> (8803) to you in Egypt <04714>: |
3:17 | And I have said <0559> (8799), I will bring <05927> (8686) you up out of the affliction <06040> of Egypt <04714> unto the land <0776> of the Canaanites <03669>, and the Hittites <02850>, and the Amorites <0567>, and the Perizzites <06522>, and the Hivites <02340>, and the Jebusites <02983>, unto a land <0776> flowing <02100> (8802) with milk <02461> and honey <01706>. |
3:18 | And they shall hearken <08085> (8804) to thy voice <06963>: and thou shalt come <0935> (8804), thou and the elders <02205> of Israel <03478>, unto the king <04428> of Egypt <04714>, and ye shall say <0559> (8804) unto him, The LORD <03068> God <0430> of the Hebrews <05680> hath met <07136> (8738) with us: and now let us go <03212> (8799), we beseech thee, three <07969> days <03117>' journey <01870> into the wilderness <04057>, that we may sacrifice <02076> (8799) to the LORD <03068> our God <0430>. |
3:19 | And I am sure <03045> (8804) that the king <04428> of Egypt <04714> will not let <05414> (8799) you go <01980> (8800), no, not by a mighty <02389> hand <03027>. {no...: or, but by strong hand} |
3:20 | And I will stretch out <07971> (8804) my hand <03027>, and smite <05221> (8689) Egypt <04714> with all my wonders <06381> (8737) which I will do <06213> (8799) in the midst <07130> thereof: and after <0310> that he will let you go <07971> (8762). |
3:21 | And I will give <05414> (8804) this people <05971> favour <02580> in the sight <05869> of the Egyptians <04714>: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go <03212> (8799), ye shall not go <03212> (8799) empty <07387>: |
3:22 | But every woman <0802> shall borrow <07592> (8804) of her neighbour <07934>, and of her that sojourneth <01481> (8802) in her house <01004>, jewels <03627> of silver <03701>, and jewels <03627> of gold <02091>, and raiment <08071>: and ye shall put <07760> (8804) [them] upon your sons <01121>, and upon your daughters <01323>; and ye shall spoil <05337> (8765) the Egyptians <04714>. {the Egyptians: or, Egypt} |
