Acts 7:28–36

²⁸Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’↗

²⁹Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.↗

³⁰“When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.↗

³¹When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, the voice of the Lord came to him,↗

³²‘I am the God of your fathers: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ Moses trembled and dared not look.↗

³³The Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you stand is holy ground.↗

³⁴I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you into Egypt.’↗

³⁵“This Moses whom they refused, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.↗

³⁶This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.↗
