출애굽기(Exodus) 3장

 

1. Now Moses was tending the flock of

Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of

Midian, and he led the flock to the far

side of the desert and came to Horeb,

the mountain of God.

 

2. There the angel of the LORD appeared

to him in flames of fire from within a

bush. 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

dose not burn up."

 

4. When the LORD saw that he had gone

over to look, God called to him from

within the bush, "Moses! Moses!" And

Moses said, "Here I am."

 

5. "Do not come any closer," God said.

"Take off your sandals, for the place

where you are standing is holy

ground."

 

6. Then he said, "I am the God of your

father, the God of Abraham, the God

of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At

this, Moses hid his face, because he

was afraid to look at God.

 

7. The LORD said, "I have indeed seen

the misery of my people in Egypt. I

have heard them crying out because

of their slave drivers, and I am

concerned about their suffering.

 

8. So I have come down to rescue them

from the hand of the Egyptians and to

bring them up out of that land into a

good and spacious land, a land flowing

with milk and honey- -the home of the

Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites,

Hivites and Jebusites.

 

9. And now the cry of the Israelites has

reached me, and I have seen the way

the Egyptians are oppressing them.

 

10. So now, go. I am sending you to

Pharaoh to bring my people the

Israelites out of Egypt."

 

11. But Moses said to God, "Who am I,

that I should go to PHaraoh and bring

the Israelites out of Egypt?"

 

12. And God said, "I will be with you.

And this will be the sign to you that

it is I who have sent you: When you

have brought the people out of

Egypt, you will worship God on this

mountain."

 

13. Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to

the Israelites and say to them, 'The God

of your fathers has sent me to you,' and

they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then

what shall I tell them?"

 

14. God said to Moses, "I am who I am.

This is what you are to say to the

Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"

 

15. God also said to Moses, "Say to the

Israelites, 'The LORD, the God of your

fathers- -the God of Abraham, the God

of Isaac and the God of Jacob- -has

sent me to you.' This is my name

forever, the name by which I am to

be remembered from generation to

generation.

 

16. "Go, assemble the elders of Israel and

say to them, 'The LORD, the God of your

fathers- -the God of Abraham, Isaac and

Jacob- -appeared to me and said: I have

watched over you and have seen what

has been done to you in Egypt.

 

17. And I have promised to bring you up

out of your misery in Egypt into the land

of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites,

Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites- -a land

flowing with milk and honey.'

 

18. "The elders of Israel will listen to you.

Then you and the elders are to go to the

king of Egypt and say to him, 'The LORD,

the God of the Hebrews, has met with

us. Let us take a three-day journey into

the desert to offer sacrifices to the

LORD our God.'

 

19. But I know that the king of Egypt will

not let you go unless a mighty hand

compels him.

 

20. So I will stretch out my hand and

strike the Egyptians with all the

wonders that I will perfrom among

them. After that, he will let you go.

 

21. "And I will make the Egyptians

favorably disposed toward this

people, so that when you leave

you will not go empty-handed.

 

22. Every woman is to ask her neighbor

and any woman living in her house for

articles of silver and gold and for

clothing, which you will put on your

sons and daughters. And so you will

plunder the Egyptians."
