Exodus 3 — Chapter 3

Exodus · Restored Names Edition

1Now 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 Elohim (God), even to Horeb.

2And the angel of Yahuah (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.

3And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

4And when Yahuah (LORD) saw that he turned aside to see, Elohim (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: put off your shoes from off your feet, for the place whereon you stand is holy ground.

6Moreover he said, I am the Elohim (God) of your father, the Elohim (God) of Abraham, the Elohim (God) of Isaac, and the Elohim (God) of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon Elohim (God).

7And Yahuah (LORD) said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

8And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, 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.

9Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Yashar'el (Israel) is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

10Come now therefore, and I will send you unto Pharaoh, that you may bring forth my people the children of Yashar'el (Israel) out of Egypt.

11And Moses said unto Elohim (God), Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Yashar'el (Israel) out of Egypt?

12And he said, Certainly I will be with you; and this shall be a token unto you, that I have sent you: When you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve Elohim (God) upon this mountain.

13And Moses said unto Elohim (God), Behold, when I come unto the children of Yashar'el (Israel), and shall say unto them, The Elohim (God) of your fathers has sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

14And Elohim (God) said unto Moses, Ehyeh asher Ehyeh (I AM THAT I AM): and he said, Thus shall you say unto the children of Yashar'el (Israel), I AM has sent me unto you.

15And Elohim (God) said moreover unto Moses, Thus shall you say unto the children of Yashar'el (Israel), Yahuah Elohim (The LORD God) of your fathers, the Elohim (God) of Abraham, the Elohim (God) of Isaac, and the Elohim (God) of Jacob, has sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

16Go, and gather the elders of Yashar'el (Israel) together, and say unto them, Yahuah Elohim (The LORD God) of your fathers, the Elohim (God) of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:

17And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

18And they shall hearken to your voice: and you shall come, you and the elders of Yashar'el (Israel), unto the king of Egypt, and you shall say unto him, Yahuah Elohim (The LORD God) of the Hebrews has met with us: and now let us go, we beseech you, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Yahuah Eloheinu (the LORD our God).

19And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.

20And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.

21And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when you go, you shall not go empty:

22But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourns in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and you shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and you shall spoil the Egyptians.
