1. One day, Moses was taking care of the sheep and goats of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, and Moses decided to lead them across the desert to Sinai, the holy mountain.
2. There an angel of the Lord appeared to him from a burning bush. Moses saw that the bush was on fire, but it was not burning up.
14-15. God said to Moses:I am the eternal God. So tell them that the Lord, whose name is “I Am”, has sent you. This is my name for ever, and it is the name that people must use from now on.
