Exodus 2:21-3:1

New International Version

²¹ Moses agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah^(A) to Moses in marriage. ²² Zipporah gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom,^[a](B) saying, “I have become a foreigner^(C) in a foreign land.”

²³ During that long period,^(D) the king of Egypt died.^(E) The Israelites groaned in their slavery^(F) and cried out, and their cry^(G) for help because of their slavery went up to God. ²⁴ God heard their groaning and he remembered^(H) his covenant^(I) with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. ²⁵ So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned^(J) about them.

Moses and the Burning Bush

3 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro^(K) his father-in-law, the priest of Midian,^(L) and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb,^(M) the mountain^(N) of God.
