GOD
“Take off your sandals,
for you are
standing on holy ground.
REPLIED TO MO SES,
“I AM
WH O I A M .
SAY THIS TO THE
people
of srael :
I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the
God of Jacob.” When Moses heard this, he covered his face because he was
afraid to look at God.
7 Then the Lord told him, “I have certainly seen the oppression of my people
in Egypt. I have heard their cries of distress because of their harsh slave driv
ers. Yes, I am aware of their suffering. 8 So I have come down to rescue them
from the power of the Egyptians and lead them out of Egypt into their own
fertile and spacious land. It is a land flowing with milk and honey—the land
where the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites
now live. 9 Look! The cry of the people of Israel has reached me, and I have
seen how harshly the Egyptians abuse them. 10 Now go, for I am sending you
to Pharaoh. You must lead my people Israel out of Egypt.”
11 But Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who
am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?”
6
I
I AM
has sent me
TO YO U.”
EXO DU S 3:14
12
God answered,
“I will be with you.
And this is your sign that I am the one who has sent you: When you have
brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this very mountain.”
13 But Moses protested, “If I go to the people of Israel and tell them, ‘The God
of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ they will ask me, ‘What is his name?’
Then what should I tell them?”
14 God replied to Moses, “I Am Who I Am. Say this to the people of Israel: I
Am has sent me to you.”
15
God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel:
Yahweh, the God
of your ancestors—
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob —
has sent me to you.
