Acts 7:33-35

The Voice

³³ The voice continued: “Take off your sandals and stand barefoot on the ground in My presence, for this ground is holy ground. ³⁴ I have avidly watched how My people are being mistreated by the Egyptians. I have heard their groaning at the treatment of their oppressors. I am descending personally to rescue them. So get up. I’m sending you to Egypt.”^[a]

³⁵ Now remember: this was the same Moses who had been rejected by his kinfolk when they said, “Who made you our prince and judge?” This man, rejected by his own people, was the one God had truly sent and commissioned by the heavenly messenger who appeared in the bush, to be their leader and deliverer.
