The Second Book of Moses Called Exodus

 1 Now Moses kept the flock of ^aJethro his father in law, the ^bpriest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the ^cmountain of God, even to ^dHoreb.

 2 And the ^aangel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of ^bfire out of the midst of a ^cbush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

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

 4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God ^acalled unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

 5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy ^ashoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is ^bholy ground.

 6 Moreover he said, ^aI am the ^bGod of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was ^cafraid to ^dlook upon God.

 7 ¶And the Lord said, I have surely seen the ^aaffliction of my people which are in ^bEgypt, and have heard their ^ccry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

 8 And I am come ^adown to ^bdeliver 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 ^cflowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the ^dCanaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

 9 Now therefore, behold, the ^acry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

 10 Come now therefore, and I will ^asend thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest ^bbring forth my people the ^cchildren of Israel ^dout of Egypt.

 11 ¶And Moses said unto God, ^aWho am I, that I should go unto ^bPharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

 12 And he said, Certainly I will be ^awith thee; and this shall be ^ba token unto thee, that I have ^csent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this ^dmountain.

 13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? ^awhat shall I say unto them?

 14 And God said unto Moses, ^aI Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.

 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The ^aLord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my ^bname for ever, and ^cthis is my ^dmemorial unto all generations.

 16 Go, and gather the ^aelders of Israel together, and say unto them, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely ^bvisited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:

 17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the ^aaffliction of ^bEgypt unto the land of the ^cCanaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the ^dJebusites, unto a ^eland flowing with milk and honey.

 18 And they shall ^ahearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The Lord ^bGod of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now ^clet us go, we beseech thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may ^dsacrifice to the Lord our God.

 19 ¶And ^aI am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, ^bno, not by a ^cmighty hand.

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

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

 22 But every woman shall ^aborrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall ^bspoil the Egyptians.
