15And he blessed Joseph and said,“The God abefore whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
the God who has been my shepherd all my life long to this day,
16 bthe angel who has credeemed me from all evil, bless the boys;
and in them let dmy name be carried on, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
and let them egrow into a multitude ▼
▼Or let them be like fish for multitude
in the midst of the earth.”Exodus 3:2-18
2 gAnd hthe angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. 3And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” 4When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, iGod called to him jout of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” 5Then he said, “Do not come near; ktake your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” 6And he said, l“I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for mhe was afraid to look at God.7Then the Lord said, n“I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their otaskmasters. I know their sufferings, 8and pI have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and qto bring them up out of that land to a rgood and broad land, a land sflowing with milk and honey, to the place of tthe Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 9And now, behold, uthe cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the voppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 10 wCome, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” 11But Moses said to God, x“Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” 12He said, y“But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, zyou shall serve God on this mountain.”
13Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” 14God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” ▼ And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ab‘I am has sent me to you.’” 15God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘The Lord, ▼
▼The word Lord, when spelled with capital letters, stands for the divine name, YHWH, which is here connected with the verb hayah, “to be” in verse 14
the adGod of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is aemy name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations. 16Go and afgather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, ag“I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt, 17and I promise that ahI will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, a land aiflowing with milk and honey.”’ 18And ajthey will listen to your voice, and you and the elders of Israel akshall go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has almet with us; and now, please let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’ Acts 7:30-32
30“Now when forty years had passed, aman angel appeared to him anin the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush. 31When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight, and as he drew near to look, there came the voice of the Lord: 32 ao‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob.’ And Moses trembled and did not dare to look.Revelation of John 7:2
