Goodspeed(i)
30 When forty years had passed, an angel appeared to him in the desert of Mount Sinai, in the flame of a burning bush.
31 When Moses saw it he wondered at the sight, and when he went up to see what it was, the voice of the Lord said,
32 'I am the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.' Moses was terrified and did not dare to look at it.
33 Then the Lord said to him, 'Take off your shoes, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
34 I have seen all the oppression of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groans, and I have come down to save them. So come! I will make you my messenger to Egypt!'
35 The Moses whom they had refused, saying to him, 'Who made you our ruler and judge?' God sent both to rule and to deliver them, with the help of the angel who had appeared to him in the bush.
