Moshe tended the sheep of his father-in-law Yisro, priest [minister] of Midian. He led the sheep to the edge of the wilderness [to the best pastures] and he came to the mountain [on which was the revealed the Glory] of God, in the area of Choreiv.

An angel of Adonoy appeared [became revealed] to him [Moshe] in the heart [a flame] of a fire in the midst of a thorn-bush. He looked and behold the bush was on fire, but the bush was not being consumed.

Moshe said, “I must turn aside and see [investigate] this great sight. Why doesn’t the bush burn?”

When Adonoy saw that [Moshe] turned aside to see, Elohim called to him from the midst of the thorn-bush, and said, “Moshe, Moshe.’” He [Moshe] said, “Here I am.”

He [God] said, “Do not come any closer. Take your shoes off your feet, because the place upon which you are standing is [a] holy ground [place].”

He [God] then said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Avraham, the God of Yitzchok, and the God of Yaakov.” Moshe hid his face, for he was afraid to look at [the side of the Glory of] Elohim.

Adonoy said, “I have indeed seen the suffering of My people that are in Egypt [has indeed been revealed before Me]. I have heard how they [Their] cry out [is heard before Me] because [of the harshness] of their slave-masters, and I am aware of their pain [has become revealed before Me].

I have descended [become revealed] to free them from the hand of Egypt, and to bring them up from that land to a good, spacious land, to a land flowing with [producing] milk and honey; to the territory of the Canaanites, the Chittites, the Emorites, the Perizites, the Chivites and the Yevusites.

Now, behold, the cry of the B’nei Yisrael has come to [before] Me. I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them [is also revealed before Me].

Now go [come]. I am sending you to Pharaoh, and you will bring My people, the B’nei Yisrael, out of Egypt.”

Moshe said to [before] Elohim, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh? Am I able to bring the B’nei Yisrael out of Egypt?”

He [God] said, “Because I will be with you [My Word will be your support]. This will be the proof that I have sent you—when you bring the people out of Egypt—you will serve [before] Elohim on this mountain.”

Moshe said to [before] Elohim, “Behold, when I come to the B’nei Yisrael and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers sent me to you,’ they will say to me, ‘What is His name?’ What shall I say to them?”

Elohim said to Moshe, “Eh’yeh Asher Eh’yeh;” and He said, “This is what you must say to the B’nei Yisrael, ‘Eh’yeh sent me to you.’”

Elohim continued talking to Moshe, “This is what you must say to the B’nei Yisrael, ‘Adonoy, the God of your fathers, the God of Avraham, the God of Yitzchok, and the God of Yaakov, sent me to you. This is My eternal Name, and this is how I am to be mentioned for all generations.’”

“Go, gather the elders of Yisrael, and say to them, ‘Adonoy, the God of your fathers appeared [became revealed] to me—the God of Avraham, Yitzchok and Yaakov—saying, “I have indeed been mindful of you, regarding that which is being done to you in Egypt.

I have said, I will bring you up out of the suffering of Egypt, to the land of the Canaanites, the Chittites, the Emorites, the Perizites, the Chivites and the Yevusites; to a land flowing with [producing] milk and honey.’”

They will listen to [obey] your voice [Words]. You and the elders of Yisrael will come to the king of Egypt, and say to him, ‘Adonoy, God of the Hebrews happened to meet with us. Now we request that you let us go [now] into the wilderness for three days, to bring an offering [sacrifice] to [before] Adonoy, our God.’

I know [It is revealed before Me] that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go [on this journey], but not because of his [power is] strong hand.

I will then send forth my hand [the blow of My power], and strike Egypt with all My wondrous deeds that I will perform in their midst. Then he [Pharaoh] will send you out.

I will give this people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians; and when you go, you will not leave empty handed.

Every woman shall borrow from her neighbor, and from the woman living in her house, articles of silver and gold, and clothing. You shall put them on your sons and daughters, and thus you will divest Egypt of its wealth.”
