Exodus 3:2-10
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 (A)The angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of [a]a (B)bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed. 3 So Moses said, “[b](C)I must turn aside now and see this [c]marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up.” 4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, (D)God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” 5 Then He said, “Do not come near here; (E)remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” 6 He said also, “(F)I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” (G)Then Moses hid his face, for he was (H)afraid to look at God.
7 The Lord said, “I have surely (I)seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings. 8 So I have come down (J)to deliver them from the [d]power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a (K)good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of (L)the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. 9 Now, behold, (M)the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me; furthermore, I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them.
The Mission of Moses
10 Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, (N)so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.”

Exodus 3:2-10
New International Version
2 There the angel of the Lord(A) appeared to him in flames of fire(B) from within a bush.(C) 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(D) to him from within the bush,(E) “Moses! Moses!”
And Moses said, “Here I am.”(F)
5 “Do not come any closer,”(G) God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”(H) 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.”(I) At this, Moses hid(J) his face, because he was afraid to look at God.(K)
7 The Lord said, “I have indeed seen(L) the misery(M) of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned(N) about their suffering.(O) 8 So I have come down(P) to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land,(Q) a land flowing with milk and honey(R)—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites(S) and Jebusites.(T) 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing(U) them. 10 So now, go. I am sending(V) you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”(W)
