31When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, a 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 your sandals off of your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
34I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is 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 with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36This man led them forth, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
37This is that Moses, who said to the children of Israel, `The Lord God will raise up a prophet to you from among your brothers, like me.`
