Exodus 3

1 Moses led his father-in-law's sheep far into the empty land. Jethro was a priest in Midian. Moses came to God's mountain. They call it Horeb.

7 Yahweh said, "I have watched my people hurt in Egypt! I heard every cry! I know their pain!"

11 Moses said, "Who am I? How can I stand before Pharaoh? How can I bring Israel out?"

16 "Go. Bring the leaders of Israel together. Tell them Yahweh came to me. The God of your fathers. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He said, I came to you! I saw what Egypt is doing to you!"
