Éxodo 3
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Moisés y la zarza ardiendo
3 Moisés apacentaba el rebaño de Jetro su suegro, sacerdote de Madián(A); condujo el rebaño hacia el lado occidental[a] del desierto y llegó a Horeb(B), el monte de Dios(C). 2 Y el ángel del Señor(D) se le apareció en una llama de fuego, en medio de una[b] zarza(E). Al fijarse Moisés, vio que la zarza ardía en fuego, pero la zarza no se consumía. 3 Entonces Moisés dijo: «Me acercaré[c] ahora para ver esta maravilla, por qué la zarza no se quema(F)».
4 Cuando el Señor vio que Moisés se acercaba[d] para mirar, Dios lo llamó de en medio de la zarza(G), y dijo: «¡Moisés, Moisés!». Y él respondió: «Aquí estoy». 5 Entonces Dios le dijo: «No te acerques aquí. Quítate las sandalias de los pies, porque el lugar donde estás parado es tierra santa(H)». 6 Y añadió: «Yo soy el Dios de tu padre, el Dios de Abraham, el Dios de Isaac y el Dios de Jacob(I)». Entonces Moisés se cubrió el rostro, porque tenía temor de mirar a Dios(J).
Misión de Moisés
7 Y el Señor dijo: «Ciertamente he visto la aflicción de Mi pueblo que está en Egipto, y he escuchado su clamor a causa de sus capataces[e], pues estoy consciente de sus sufrimientos(K). 8 Así que he descendido para librarlos de mano de los egipcios(L), y para sacarlos[f] de aquella tierra a una tierra buena y espaciosa, a una tierra que mana leche y miel(M), al lugar de los cananeos, de los hititas, de los amorreos, de los ferezeos, de los heveos y de los jebuseos(N). 9 Y ahora, el clamor de los israelitas ha llegado hasta Mí(O), y además he visto la opresión con que los egipcios los oprimen. 10 Ahora pues, ven y te enviaré a Faraón, para que saques a Mi pueblo, a los israelitas, de Egipto(P)».
11 Pero Moisés dijo a Dios: «¿Quién soy yo(Q) para ir a Faraón, y sacar a los israelitas de Egipto?». 12 «Ciertamente Yo estaré contigo(R)», le respondió el Señor, «y la señal para ti de que soy Yo el que te ha enviado será esta: cuando hayas sacado al pueblo de Egipto(S) ustedes adorarán[g] a Dios en este monte(T)».
El nombre de Dios
13 Entonces Moisés dijo a Dios: «Si voy a los israelitas, y les digo: “El Dios de sus padres me ha enviado a ustedes”, tal vez me digan: “¿Cuál es Su nombre?”, ¿qué les responderé?». 14 Y dijo Dios a Moisés: «YO SOY[h] EL QUE SOY[i](U)», y añadió: «Así dirás a los israelitas: “YO SOY[j] me ha enviado a ustedes”». 15 Dijo además Dios a Moisés: «Así dirás a los israelitas: “El Señor, el Dios de sus padres, el Dios de Abraham, el Dios de Isaac y el Dios de Jacob, me ha enviado a ustedes(V)”. Este es Mi nombre para siempre, y con él se hará memoria de Mí[k] de generación en generación(W).
Instrucciones de Dios a Moisés
16 Ve y reúne a los ancianos de Israel(X), y diles: “El Señor, el Dios de sus padres, el Dios de Abraham, de Isaac y de Jacob, se me ha aparecido(Y) y dijo: ‘Ciertamente los he visitado y he visto lo que les han hecho en Egipto(Z). 17 Y he dicho: Los sacaré de la aflicción de Egipto a la tierra del cananeo, del hitita, del amorreo, del ferezeo, del heveo y del jebuseo(AA), a una tierra que mana leche y miel(AB)’”. 18 Ellos escucharán tu voz(AC). Entonces tú irás con los ancianos de Israel al rey de Egipto(AD), y le dirán: “El Señor, el Dios de los hebreos, nos ha salido al encuentro. Ahora pues, permite que vayamos tres días de camino al desierto para ofrecer sacrificios al Señor nuestro Dios(AE)”. 19 Pero Yo sé que el rey de Egipto no los dejará ir(AF), si no es por la fuerza(AG). 20 Pero Yo extenderé Mi mano y heriré a Egipto(AH) con todos los prodigios[l] que haré en medio de él(AI), y después de esto, los dejará ir(AJ). 21 Y haré que este pueblo halle gracia ante los ojos de los egipcios, y cuando ustedes se vayan, no se irán con las manos vacías(AK). 22 Cada mujer pedirá a su vecina y a la que vive en su casa, objetos de plata, objetos de oro y vestidos(AL), y los pondrán sobre sus hijos y sobre sus hijas. Así despojarán a los egipcios(AM)».

Llamamiento de Moisés
3 Apacentando Moisés las ovejas de Jetro su suegro, sacerdote de Madián, llevó las ovejas a través del desierto, y llegó hasta Horeb, monte de Dios. 2 Y se le apareció el Ángel de Jehová en una llama de fuego en medio de una zarza;(A) y él miró, y vio que la zarza ardía en fuego, y la zarza no se consumía. 3 Entonces Moisés dijo: Iré yo ahora y veré esta grande visión, por qué causa la zarza no se quema. 4 Viendo Jehová que él iba a ver, lo llamó Dios de en medio de la zarza, y dijo: ¡Moisés, Moisés! Y él respondió: Heme aquí. 5 Y dijo: No te acerques; quita tu calzado de tus pies, porque el lugar en que tú estás, tierra santa es. 6 Y dijo: Yo soy el Dios de tu padre, Dios de Abraham, Dios de Isaac, y Dios de Jacob. Entonces Moisés cubrió su rostro, porque tuvo miedo de mirar a Dios.
7 Dijo luego Jehová: Bien he visto la aflicción de mi pueblo que está en Egipto, y he oído su clamor a causa de sus exactores; pues he conocido sus angustias, 8 y he descendido para librarlos de mano de los egipcios, y sacarlos de aquella tierra a una tierra buena y ancha, a tierra que fluye leche y miel, a los lugares del cananeo, del heteo, del amorreo, del ferezeo, del heveo y del jebuseo. 9 El clamor, pues, de los hijos de Israel ha venido delante de mí, y también he visto la opresión con que los egipcios los oprimen. 10 Ven, por tanto, ahora, y te enviaré a Faraón, para que saques de Egipto a mi pueblo, los hijos de Israel. 11 Entonces Moisés respondió a Dios: ¿Quién soy yo para que vaya a Faraón, y saque de Egipto a los hijos de Israel? 12 Y él respondió: Ve, porque yo estaré contigo; y esto te será por señal de que yo te he enviado: cuando hayas sacado de Egipto al pueblo, serviréis a Dios sobre este monte.
13 Dijo Moisés a Dios: He aquí que llego yo a los hijos de Israel, y les digo: El Dios de vuestros padres(B) me ha enviado a vosotros. Si ellos me preguntaren: ¿Cuál es su nombre?, ¿qué les responderé? 14 Y respondió Dios a Moisés: YO SOY EL QUE SOY.(C) Y dijo: Así dirás a los hijos de Israel: YO SOY me envió a vosotros. 15 Además dijo Dios a Moisés: Así dirás a los hijos de Israel: Jehová,[a] el Dios de vuestros padres, el Dios de Abraham, Dios de Isaac y Dios de Jacob, me ha enviado a vosotros. Este es mi nombre para siempre; con él se me recordará por todos los siglos. 16 Ve, y reúne a los ancianos de Israel, y diles: Jehová, el Dios de vuestros padres, el Dios de Abraham, de Isaac y de Jacob, me apareció diciendo: En verdad os he visitado, y he visto lo que se os hace en Egipto; 17 y he dicho: Yo os sacaré de la aflicción de Egipto a la tierra del cananeo, del heteo, del amorreo, del ferezeo, del heveo y del jebuseo, a una tierra que fluye leche y miel. 18 Y oirán tu voz; e irás tú, y los ancianos de Israel, al rey de Egipto, y le diréis: Jehová el Dios de los hebreos nos ha encontrado; por tanto, nosotros iremos ahora camino de tres días por el desierto, para que ofrezcamos sacrificios a Jehová nuestro Dios. 19 Mas yo sé que el rey de Egipto no os dejará ir sino por mano fuerte. 20 Pero yo extenderé mi mano, y heriré a Egipto con todas mis maravillas que haré en él, y entonces os dejará ir. 21 Y yo daré a este pueblo gracia en los ojos de los egipcios, para que cuando salgáis, no vayáis con las manos vacías; 22 sino que pedirá cada mujer a su vecina y a su huéspeda alhajas de plata, alhajas de oro, y vestidos, los cuales pondréis sobre vuestros hijos y vuestras hijas; y despojaréis a Egipto.(D)

Moses and the Burning Bush
3 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro(A) his father-in-law, the priest of Midian,(B) and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb,(C) the mountain(D) of God. 2 There the angel of the Lord(E) appeared to him in flames of fire(F) from within a bush.(G) Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”
4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called(H) to him from within the bush,(I) “Moses! Moses!”
And Moses said, “Here I am.”(J)
5 “Do not come any closer,”(K) God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”(L) 6 Then he said, “I am the God of your father,[a] the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.”(M) At this, Moses hid(N) his face, because he was afraid to look at God.(O)
7 The Lord said, “I have indeed seen(P) the misery(Q) of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned(R) about their suffering.(S) 8 So I have come down(T) to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land,(U) a land flowing with milk and honey(V)—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites(W) and Jebusites.(X) 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing(Y) them. 10 So now, go. I am sending(Z) you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”(AA)
11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I(AB) that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
12 And God said, “I will be with you.(AC) And this will be the sign(AD) to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you[b] will worship God on this mountain.(AE)”
13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’(AF) Then what shall I tell them?”
14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.[c] This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am(AG) has sent me to you.’”
15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord,[d] the God of your fathers(AH)—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob(AI)—has sent me to you.’
16 “Go, assemble the elders(AL) of Israel and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(AM)—appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen(AN) what has been done to you in Egypt. 17 And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt(AO) into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’(AP)
18 “The elders of Israel will listen(AQ) to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews,(AR) has met(AS) with us. Let us take a three-day journey(AT) into the wilderness to offer sacrifices(AU) to the Lord our God.’ 19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand(AV) compels him. 20 So I will stretch out my hand(AW) and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders(AX) that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go.(AY)
21 “And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed(AZ) toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed.(BA) 22 Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver(BB) and gold(BC) and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder(BD) the Egyptians.”(BE)

Exodus 3
King James Version
3 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.
2 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.
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 called 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 shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
6 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.
7 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;
8 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.
9 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.
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 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?
12 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.
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? what shall I say unto them?
14 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.
15 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.
16 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:
17 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.
18 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.
19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
20 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.
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 empty.
22 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.
Exodus 3
New King James Version
Moses at the Burning Bush(A)
3 Now Moses was tending the flock of (B)Jethro his father-in-law, (C)the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to (D)Horeb, (E)the mountain of God. 2 And (F)the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. 3 Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this (G)great sight, why the bush does not burn.”
4 So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called (H)to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!”
And he said, “Here I am.”
5 Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. (I)Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” 6 Moreover He said, (J)“I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for (K)he was afraid to look upon God.
7 And the Lord said: (L)“I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry (M)because of their taskmasters, (N)for I know their [a]sorrows. 8 So (O)I have come down to (P)deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land (Q)to a good and large land, to a land (R)flowing with milk and honey, to the place of (S)the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites. 9 Now therefore, behold, (T)the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the (U)oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 10 (V)Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”
11 But Moses said to God, (W)“Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
12 So He said, (X)“I will certainly be with you. And this shall be a (Y)sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”
13 Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?”
14 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, (Z)‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” 15 Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is (AA)My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.’ 16 Go and (AB)gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, (AC)“I have surely visited you and seen what is done to you in Egypt; 17 and I have said (AD)I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.” ’ 18 Then (AE)they will heed your voice; and (AF)you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt; and you shall say to him, ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews has (AG)met with us; and now, please, let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’ 19 But I am sure that the king of Egypt (AH)will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand. 20 So I will (AI)stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with (AJ)all My wonders which I will do in its midst; and (AK)after that he will let you go. 21 And (AL)I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be, when you go, that you shall not go empty-handed. 22 (AM)But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, namely, of her who dwells near her house, (AN)articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So (AO)you shall plunder the Egyptians.”
