Exodus 3:1--4:18

3:1

Now Moses
<04872>

kept
<01961> (8804) <07462> (8802)

the flock
<06629>

of Jethro
<03503>

his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

the priest
<03548>

of Midian
<04080>_:

and he led
<05090> (8799)

the flock
<06629>

to the backside
<0310>

of the desert
<04057>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to the mountain
<02022>

of God
<0430>_,

[even] to Horeb
<02722>_.

3:2

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8735)

unto him in a flame
<03827>

of fire
<0784>

out of the midst
<08432>

of a bush
<05572>_:

and he looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, the bush
<05572>

burned
<01197> (8802)

with fire
<0784>_,

and the bush
<05572>

[was] not consumed
<0398> (8794)_.

3:3

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will now turn aside
<05493> (8799)_,

and see
<07200> (8799)

this great
<01419>

sight
<04758>_,

why
<04069>

the bush
<05572>

is not burnt
<01197> (8799)_.

3:4

And when the LORD
<03068>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that he turned aside
<05493> (8804)

to see
<07200> (8800)_,

God
<0430>

called
<07121> (8799)

unto him out of the midst
<08432>

of the bush
<05572>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Moses
<04872>_,

Moses
<04872>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I.

3:5

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Draw not nigh
<07126> (8799)

hither
<01988>_:

put off
<05394> (8798)

thy shoes
<05275>

from off thy feet
<07272>_,

for the place
<04725>

whereon
<0834>

thou standest
<05975> (8802)

[is] holy
<06944>

ground
<0127>_.

3:6

Moreover he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] the God
<0430>

of thy father
<01>_,

the God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

the God
<0430>

of Isaac
<03327>_,

and the God
<0430>

of Jacob
<03290>_.

And Moses
<04872>

hid
<05641> (8686)

his face
<06440>_;

for he was afraid
<03372> (8804)

to look
<05027> (8687)

upon God
<0430>_.

3:7

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I have surely
<07200> (8800)

seen
<07200> (8804)

the affliction
<06040>

of my people
<05971>

which [are] in Egypt
<04714>_,

and have heard
<08085> (8804)

their cry
<06818>

by reason
<06440>

of their taskmasters
<05065> (8802)_;

for I know
<03045> (8804)

their sorrows
<04341>_;

3:8

And I am come down
<03381> (8799)

to deliver
<05337> (8687)

them out of the hand
<03027>

of the Egyptians
<04714>_,

and to bring
<05927> (8687)

them up out of that land
<0776>

unto a good
<02896>

land
<0776>

and a large
<07342>_,

unto a land
<0776>

flowing
<02100> (8802)

with milk
<02461>

and honey
<01706>_;

unto the place
<04725>

of the Canaanites
<03669>_,

and the Hittites
<02850>_,

and the Amorites
<0567>_,

and the Perizzites
<06522>_,

and the Hivites
<02340>_,

and the Jebusites
<02983>_.

3:9

Now therefore, behold, the cry
<06818>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

is come
<0935> (8804)

unto me: and I have also seen
<07200> (8804)

the oppression
<03906>

wherewith the Egyptians
<04714>

oppress
<03905> (8801)

them.

3:10

Come
<03212> (8798)

now therefore, and I will send
<07971> (8799)

thee unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,

that thou mayest bring forth
<03318> (8685)

my people
<05971>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

out of Egypt
<04714>_.

3:11

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto God
<0430>_,

Who [am] I, that I should go
<03212> (8799)

unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and that I should bring forth
<03318> (8686)

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

out of Egypt
<04714>_?

3:12

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Certainly I will be with thee; and this [shall be] a token
<0226>

unto thee, that
<03588>

I have sent
<07971> (8804)

thee: When thou hast brought forth
<03318> (8687)

the people
<05971>

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

ye shall serve
<05647> (8799)

God
<0430>

upon this mountain
<02022>_.

3:13

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto God
<0430>_,

Behold, [when] I come
<0935> (8802)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and shall say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, The God
<0430>

of your fathers
<01>

hath sent
<07971> (8804)

me unto you; and they shall say
<0559> (8804)

to me, What [is] his name
<08034>_?

what shall I say
<0559> (8799)

unto them?

3:14

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

I AM
<01961> (8799)

THAT I AM
<01961> (8799)_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thus shalt thou say
<0559> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

I AM hath sent
<07971> (8804)

me unto you.

3:15

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

moreover
<05750>

unto Moses
<04872>_,

Thus shalt thou say
<0559> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

The LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of your fathers
<01>_,

the God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

the God
<0430>

of Isaac
<03327>_,

and the God
<0430>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

hath sent
<07971> (8804)

me unto you: this [is] my name
<08034>

for ever
<05769>_,

and this [is] my memorial
<02143>

unto all
<01755>

generations
<01755>_.

3:16

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

and gather
<0622> (0)

the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>

together
<0622> (8804)_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, The LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of your fathers
<01>_,

the God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

of Isaac
<03327>_,

and of Jacob
<03290>_,

appeared
<07200> (8738)

unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I have surely
<06485> (8800)

visited
<06485> (8804)

you, and [seen] that which is done
<06213> (8803)

to you in Egypt
<04714>_:

3:17

And I have said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will bring
<05927> (8686)

you up out of the affliction
<06040>

of Egypt
<04714>

unto the land
<0776>

of the Canaanites
<03669>_,

and the Hittites
<02850>_,

and the Amorites
<0567>_,

and the Perizzites
<06522>_,

and the Hivites
<02340>_,

and the Jebusites
<02983>_,

unto a land
<0776>

flowing
<02100> (8802)

with milk
<02461>

and honey
<01706>_.

3:18

And they shall hearken
<08085> (8804)

to thy voice
<06963>_:

and thou shalt come
<0935> (8804)_,

thou and the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>_,

unto the king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and ye shall say
<0559> (8804)

unto him, The LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of the Hebrews
<05680>

hath met
<07136> (8738)

with us: and now let us go
<03212> (8799)_,

we beseech thee, three
<07969>

days
<03117>_'

journey
<01870>

into the wilderness
<04057>_,

that we may sacrifice
<02076> (8799)

to the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_.

3:19

And I am sure
<03045> (8804)

that the king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

will not let
<05414> (8799)

you go
<01980> (8800)_,

no, not by a mighty
<02389>

hand
<03027>_.

{no...: or, but by strong hand}

3:20

And I will stretch out
<07971> (8804)

my hand
<03027>_,

and smite
<05221> (8689)

Egypt
<04714>

with all my wonders
<06381> (8737)

which I will do
<06213> (8799)

in the midst
<07130>

thereof: and after
<0310>

that he will let you go
<07971> (8762)_.

3:21

And I will give
<05414> (8804)

this people
<05971>

favour
<02580>

in the sight
<05869>

of the Egyptians
<04714>_:

and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go
<03212> (8799)_,

ye shall not go
<03212> (8799)

empty
<07387>_:

3:22

But every woman
<0802>

shall borrow
<07592> (8804)

of her neighbour
<07934>_,

and of her that sojourneth
<01481> (8802)

in her house
<01004>_,

jewels
<03627>

of silver
<03701>_,

and jewels
<03627>

of gold
<02091>_,

and raiment
<08071>_:

and ye shall put
<07760> (8804)

[them] upon your sons
<01121>_,

and upon your daughters
<01323>_;

and ye shall spoil
<05337> (8765)

the Egyptians
<04714>_.

{the Egyptians: or, Egypt}

4:1

And Moses
<04872>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

But, behold, they will not believe
<0539> (8686)

me, nor hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto my voice
<06963>_:

for they will say
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

hath not appeared
<07200> (8738)

unto thee.

4:2

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What [is] that in thine hand
<03027>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

A rod
<04294>_.

4:3

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Cast
<07993> (8685)

it on the ground
<0776>_.

And he cast
<07993> (8686)

it on the ground
<0776>_,

and it became a serpent
<05175>_;

and Moses
<04872>

fled
<05127> (8799)

from before
<06440>

it.

4:4

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

Put forth
<07971> (8798)

thine hand
<03027>_,

and take
<0270> (8798)

it by the tail
<02180>_.

And he put forth
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>_,

and caught
<02388> (8686)

it, and it became a rod
<04294>

in his hand
<03709>_:

4:5

That they may believe
<0539> (8686)

that the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_,

the God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

the God
<0430>

of Isaac
<03327>_,

and the God
<0430>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

hath appeared
<07200> (8738)

unto thee.

4:6

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

furthermore
<05750>

unto him, Put
<0935> (8685)

now thine hand
<03027>

into thy bosom
<02436>_.

And he put
<0935> (8686)

his hand
<03027>

into his bosom
<02436>_:

and when he took
<03318> (8686)

it out, behold, his hand
<03027>

[was] leprous
<06879> (8794)

as snow
<07950>_.

4:7

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Put
<07725> (0)

thine hand
<03027>

into thy bosom
<02436>

again
<07725> (8685)_.

And he put
<07725> (0)

his hand
<03027>

into his bosom
<02436>

again
<07725> (8686)_;

and plucked
<03318> (8686)

it out of his bosom
<02436>_,

and, behold, it was turned again
<07725> (8804)

as his [other] flesh
<01320>_.

4:8

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe
<0539> (8686)

thee, neither hearken
<08085> (8799)

to the voice
<06963>

of the first
<07223>

sign
<0226>_,

that they will believe
<0539> (8689)

the voice
<06963>

of the latter
<0314>

sign
<0226>_.

4:9

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe
<0539> (8686)

also these two
<08147>

signs
<0226>_,

neither hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto thy voice
<06963>_,

that thou shalt take
<03947> (8804)

of the water
<04325>

of the river
<02975>_,

and pour
<08210> (8804)

[it] upon the dry
<03004>

[land]: and the water
<04325>

which thou takest
<03947> (8799)

out of the river
<02975>

shall become blood
<01818>

upon the dry
<03006>

[land]. {shall become: Heb. shall be and shall be}

4:10

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

O
<0994>

my Lord
<0136>_,

I
<0376>

[am] not eloquent
<01697>_,

neither heretofore
<08032> <08543>_,

nor since
<0227>

thou hast spoken
<01696> (8763)

unto thy servant
<05650>_:

but I [am] slow
<03515>

of speech
<06310>_,

and of a slow
<03515>

tongue
<03956>_.

{eloquent: Heb. a man of words} {heretofore: Heb. since yesterday, nor since the third day}

4:11

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Who hath made
<07760> (8804)

man's
<0120>

mouth
<06310>_?

or who maketh
<07760> (8799)

the dumb
<0483>_,

or deaf
<02795>_,

or the seeing
<06493>_,

or the blind
<05787>_?

have not I the LORD
<03068>_?

4:12

Now therefore go
<03212> (8798)_,

and I will be with thy mouth
<06310>_,

and teach
<03384> (8689)

thee what thou shalt say
<01696> (8762)_.

4:13

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

O
<0994>

my Lord
<0136>_,

send
<07971> (8798)_,

I pray thee, by the hand
<03027>

[of him whom] thou wilt send
<07971> (8799)_.

{wilt: or, shouldest}

4:14

And the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against Moses
<04872>_,

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] not Aaron
<0175>

the Levite
<03881>

thy brother
<0251>_?

I know
<03045> (8804)

that he can speak
<01696> (8762)

well
<01696> (8763)_.

And also, behold, he cometh forth
<03318> (8802)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

thee: and when he seeth
<07200> (8804)

thee, he will be glad
<08055> (8804)

in his heart
<03820>_.

4:15

And thou shalt speak
<01696> (8765)

unto him, and put
<07760> (8804)

words
<01697>

in his mouth
<06310>_:

and I will be with thy mouth
<06310>_,

and with his mouth
<06310>_,

and will teach
<03384> (8689)

you what ye shall do
<06213> (8799)_.

4:16

And he shall be thy spokesman
<01696> (8765)

unto the people
<05971>_:

and he shall be, [even] he shall be to thee instead of a mouth
<06310>_,

and thou shalt be to him instead of God
<0430>_.

4:17

And thou shalt take
<03947> (8799)

this rod
<04294>

in thine hand
<03027>_,

wherewith thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)

signs
<0226>_.

4:18

And Moses
<04872>

went
<03212> (8799)

and returned
<07725> (8799)

to Jethro
<03500>

his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Let me go
<03212> (8799)_,

I pray thee, and return
<07725> (8799)

unto my brethren
<0251>

which [are] in Egypt
<04714>_,

and see
<07200> (8799)

whether they be yet
<05750>

alive
<02416>_.

And Jethro
<03503>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Moses
<04872>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

in peace
<07965>_.

{Jethro: Heb. Jether}
