Exodus 3:2–10

²And ^cthe angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of ^da bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. ³And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. ⁴And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. ⁵And he said, Draw not nigh hither: ^eput off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. ⁶Moreover he said, ^fI 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 ^ghe was afraid to look upon God. ⁷And the Lord said, ^hI have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their ⁱcry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; ⁸And ^kI am come down to ^ldeliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land ^munto a good land and a large, unto a land ⁿflowing with milk and honey; unto the place of ^othe Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. ⁹Now therefore, behold, ^pthe cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. ¹⁰Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
