The Burning Bush

Now Moses was pasturing the flock of (A)Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the [a]west side of the wilderness and came to (B)Horeb, the (C)mountain of God. (D)The angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of [b]a (E)bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed. So Moses said, “[c](F)I must turn aside now and see this [d]marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up.” When the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, (G)God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”

27 Then Pharaoh [a](A)sent for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “(B)I have sinned this time; the Lord is the righteous one, and I and my people are the wicked ones. 28 (C)Make supplication to the Lord, for there has been enough of God’s [b]thunder and hail; and (D)I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.” 29 Moses said to him, “As soon as I go out of the city, I will (E)spread out my [c]hands to the Lord; the [d]thunder will cease and there will be hail no longer, that you may know that (F)the earth is the Lord’s. 30 (G)But as for you and your servants, I know that (H)you do not yet [e]fear [f]the Lord God.” 31 (Now the flax and the (I)barley were [g]ruined, for the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud. 32 But the wheat and the spelt were not [h]ruined, for they ripen late.) 33 (J)So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his [i]hands to the Lord; and the [j]thunder and the hail ceased, and rain [k]no longer poured on the earth. 34 But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the [l]thunder had ceased, he sinned again and [m]hardened his heart, he and his servants. 35 Pharaoh’s heart was [n]hardened, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, just as the (K)Lord had spoken through Moses.
