So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called (A)to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!”

And he said, “Here I am.”

Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. (B)Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” Moreover He said, (C)“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 (D)he was afraid to look upon God.

And the Lord said: (E)“I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry (F)because of their taskmasters, (G)for I know their [a]sorrows. So (H)I have come down to (I)deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land (J)to a good and large land, to a land (K)flowing with milk and honey, to the place of (L)the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.
