4 When Yahweh saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, 'Moses! Moses!' He said, 'Here I am.'
5 He said, 'Don't come close. Take off your sandals from off your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground.'
6 Moreover he said, 'I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.
7 Yahweh said, 'I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.
8 I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
