- Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God's mountain, to Horeb.
- The angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
- Moses said, "I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt."
- When Yahweh saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, "Moses! Moses!" He said, "Here I am."
- He said, "Don't come close. Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground."
- Moreover he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.
- Yahweh said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.
- I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
- Now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
- Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt."
- Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?"
- He said, "Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain."
- Moses said to God, "Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you;' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' What should I tell them?"
- God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM," and he said, "You shall tell the children of Israel this: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
- God said moreover to Moses, "You shall tell the children of Israel this, 'Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.
- Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and tell them, 'Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, "I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt;
- and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey."'
- They will listen to your voice, and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall tell him, 'Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.'
- I know that the king of Egypt won't give you permission to go, no, not by a mighty hand.
- I will put forth my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in its midst, and after that he will let you go.
- I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed.
- But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall plunder the Egyptians."

- ומשה היה רעה את־צאן יתרו חתנו כהן מדין וינהג את־הצאן אחר המדבר ויבא אל־הר האלהים חרבה׃
- וירא מלאך יהוה אליו בלבת־אש מתוך הסנה וירא והנה הסנה בער באש והסנה איננו אכל׃
- ויאמר משה אסרה־נא ואראה את־המראה הגדל הזה מדוע לא־יבער הסנה׃
- וירא יהוה כי סר לראות ויקרא אליו אלהים מתוך הסנה ויאמר משה משה ויאמר הנני׃
- ויאמר אל־תקרב הלם של־נעליך מעל רגליך כי המקום אשר אתה עומד עליו אדמת־קדש הוא׃
- ויאמר אנכי אלהי אביך אלהי אברהם אלהי יצחק ואלהי יעקב ויסתר משה פניו כי ירא מהביט אל־האלהים׃
- ויאמר יהוה ראה ראיתי את־עני עמי אשר במצרים ואת־צעקתם שמעתי מפני נגשיו כי ידעתי את־מכאביו׃
- וארד להצילו מיד מצרים ולהעלתו מן־הארץ ההוא אל־ארץ טובה ורחבה אל־ארץ זבת חלב ודבש אל־מקום הכנעני והחתי והאמרי והפרזי והחוי והיבוסי׃
- ועתה הנה צעקת בני־ישראל באה אלי וגם־ראיתי את־הלחץ אשר מצרים לחצים אתם׃
- ועתה לכה ואשלחך אל־פרעה והוצא את־עמי בני־ישראל ממצרים׃
- ויאמר משה אל־האלהים מי אנכי כי אלך אל־פרעה וכי אוציא את־בני ישראל ממצרים׃
- ויאמר כי־אהיה עמך וזה־לך האות כי אנכי שלחתיך בהוציאך את־העם ממצרים תעבדון את־האלהים על ההר הזה׃
- ויאמר משה אל־האלהים הנה אנכי בא אל־בני ישראל ואמרתי להם אלהי אבותיכם שלחני אליכם ואמרו־לי מה־שמו מה אמר אלהם׃
- ויאמר אלהים אל־משה אהיה אשר אהיה ויאמר כה תאמר לבני ישראל אהיה שלחני אליכם׃
- ויאמר עוד אלהים אל־משה כה־תאמר אל־בני ישראל יהוה אלהי אבתיכם אלהי אברהם אלהי יצחק ואלהי יעקב שלחני אליכם זה־שמי לעלם וזה זכרי לדר דר׃
- לך ואספת את־זקני ישראל ואמרת אלהם יהוה אלהי אבתיכם נראה אלי אלהי אברהם יצחק ויעקב לאמר פקד פקדתי אתכם ואת־העשוי לכם במצרים׃
- ואמר אעלה אתכם מעני מצרים אל־ארץ הכנעני והחתי והאמרי והפרזי והחוי והיבוסי אל־ארץ זבת חלב ודבש׃
- ושמעו לקלך ובאת אתה וזקני ישראל אל־מלך מצרים ואמרתם אליו יהוה אלהי העבריים נקרה עלינו ועתה נלכה־נא דרך שלשת ימים במדבר ונזבחה ליהוה אלהינו׃
- ואני ידעתי כי לא־יתן אתכם מלך מצרים להלך ולא ביד חזקה׃
- ושלחתי את־ידי והכיתי את־מצרים בכל נפלאתי אשר אעשה בקרבו ואחרי־כן ישלח אתכם׃
- ונתתי את־חן העם־הזה בעיני מצרים והיה כי תלכון לא תלכו ריקם׃
- ושאלה אשה משכנתה ומגרת ביתה כלי־כסף וכלי זהב ושמלת ושמתם על־בניכם ועל־בנתיכם ונצלתם את־מצרים׃

| Exodus 3 Text (Latin)

- Moyses autem pascebat oves Jethro soceri sui sacerdotis Madian : cumque minasset gregem ad interiora deserti, venit ad montem Dei Horeb.
- Apparuitque ei Dominus in flamma ignis de medio rubi : et videbat quod rubus arderet, et non combureretur.
- Dixit ergo Moyses : Vadam, et videbo visionem hanc magnam, quare non comburatur rubus.
- Cernens autem Dominus quod pergeret ad videndum, vocavit eum de medio rubi, et ait : Moyses, Moyses. Qui respondit : Adsum.
- At ille : Ne appropies, inquit, huc : solve calceamentum de pedibus tuis : locus enim, in quo stas, terra sancta est.
- Et ait : Ego sum Deus patris tui, Deus Abraham, Deus Isaac et Deus Jacob. Abscondit Moyses faciem suam : non enim audebat aspicere contra Deum.
- Cui ait Dominus : Vidi afflictionem populi mei in Ægypto, et clamorem ejus audivi propter duritiam eorum qui præsunt operibus :
- et sciens dolorem ejus, descendi ut liberem eum de manibus Ægyptiorum, et educam de terra illa in terram bonam, et spatiosam, in terram quæ fluit lacte et melle, ad loca Chananæi et Hethæi, et Amorrhæi, et Pherezæi, et Hevæi, et Jebusæi.
- Clamor ergo filiorum Israël venit ad me : vidique afflictionem eorum, qua ab Ægyptiis opprimuntur.
- Sed veni, et mittam te ad Pharaonem, ut educas populum meum, filios Israël, de Ægypto.
- Dixitque Moyses ad Deum : Quis sum ego ut vadam ad Pharaonem, et educam filios Israël de Ægypto ?
- Qui dixit ei : Ego ero tecum : et hoc habebis signum, quod miserim te : cum eduxeris populum meum de Ægypto, immolabis Deo super montem istum.
- Ait Moyses ad Deum : Ecce ego vadam ad filios Israël, et dicam eis : Deus patrum vestrorum misit me ad vos. Si dixerint mihi : Quod est nomen ejus ? quid dicam eis ?
- Dixit Deus ad Moysen : Ego sum qui sum. Ait : Sic dices filiis Israël : Qui est, misit me ad vos.
- Dixitque iterum Deus ad Moysen : Hæc dices filiis Israël : Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum, Deus Abraham, Deus Isaac et Deus Jacob, misit me ad vos : hoc nomen mihi est in æternum, et hoc memoriale meum in generationem et generationem.
- Vade, et congrega seniores Israël, et dices ad eos : Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum apparuit mihi, Deus Abraham, Deus Isaac et Deus Jacob, dicens : Visitans visitavi vos : et vidi omnia quæ acciderunt vobis in Ægypto.
- Et dixi ut educam vos de afflictione Ægypti in terram Chananæi, et Hethæi, et Amorrhæi, et Pherezæi, et Hevæi, et Jebusæi, ad terram fluentem lacte et melle.
- Et audient vocem tuam : ingredierisque tu, et seniores Israël, ad regem Ægypti, et dices ad eum : Dominus Deus Hebræorum vocavit nos : ibimus viam trium dierum in solitudinem, ut immolemus Domino Deo nostro.
- Sed ego scio quod non dimittet vos rex Ægypti ut eatis nisi per manum validam.
- Extendam enim manum meam, et percutiam Ægyptum in cunctis mirabilibus meis, quæ facturus sum in medio eorum : post hæc dimittet vos.
- Daboque gratiam populo huic coram Ægyptiis : et cum egrediemini, non exibitis vacui :
- sed postulabit mulier a vicina sua et ab hospita sua, vasa argentea et aurea, ac vestes : ponetisque eas super filios et filias vestras, et spoliabitis Ægyptum.

- Now 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 God, even to Horeb.
- And the angel of the 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.
- And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
- And 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.
- And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
- Moreover he said, I 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 he was afraid to look upon God.
- And the 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;
- And 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.
- Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
- Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
- And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
- And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
- 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? what shall I say unto them?
- And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
- And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD 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 name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
- Go, and gather the elders 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 visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:
- And 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.
- And they shall hearken 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 God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
- And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
- And 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.
- 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 empty:
- But every woman shall borrow 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 spoil the Egyptians.
