Today's reading is going to be in Exodus 3 verses 1 through 12.

Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Minion, and

he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horab, the mountain of God.

Where 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.

So Moses thought, I will go over and see the strange sight why the bush does not burn

up.

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, do not come any closer, God said, take off your

sandals for the place where your standing is holy ground.

Then he said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the

God of Jacob.

And this at this Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at God.

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.

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, Parasites, Hivites, and Jebysites.

And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are

oppressing them.

So now go.
