Exodus

Chapter 3

1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro, his father in law,
  {name means 'his abundance' - also called Reuel in Exodus 2:18}
the priest of Midian.

And he led the flock to the backside of the desert,
and came to the mountain of 'Elohiym/Godhead . . .
even to Horeb.
  {name means 'desert' - another name for Mount Sinai}

2 And the angel of the Jehovah/God
appeared unto him
in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush.

And he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire,
and the bush was not consumed.

{Note: Verses 2 and 6 explain with Acts 7 that the only manifested member of 'Elohiym or 'the Godhead' was God the Son - Jesus Christ. The angel of the Jehovah/God or the 'angel of the Lord' was another title for Jesus Christ.}

3 And Moses said,
"I will keep on turning aside,
and see this great sight,
why the bush is not burnt."

4 And when Jehovah/God
  {the 'angel of God' is now called 'God' - the angel of God
  is a title for the only manifest member of the Godhead - the Son}
saw that he {Moses} turned aside to see,
'Elohiym/Godhead called unto him out of the middle of the bush,
and said, "Moses . . . Moses."

And he {Moses} said, "Keep on speaking."
  {idiom meaning "Here am I."}

5 And He said,
"Do not keep on approaching closer.

Take off your shoes from off your feet {an order} . . .
for the place where you stand
is 'Holy ground'/'Set apart {to God} ground'."

6 Moreover He said,
"I am the 'Elohiym/Godhead of your father . . .
'Elohiym/Godhead of Abraham,
'Elohiym/Godhead of Isaac,
and 'Elohiym/Godhead of Jacob."

And Moses hid his face . . .
for he was afraid to look upon 'Elohiym/Godhead.

7 And Jehovah/God said,
"Seeing . . . I have seen
  {idiom meaning I have surely seen}
the affliction of My people
who are in Egypt,
and have heard their cry
by reason of their taskmasters . . .
for I know their sorrows. 8

And I have come down
to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians,
and to bring them up out of that land
unto a good {towb} land
and broad/large . . .
unto a land flowing with milk and honey . . .
  {idiom for prosperous and fertile land}
unto the place of the Canaanites,
and the Hittites,
and the Amorites,
and the Perizzites,
and the Hivites,
and the Jebusites. 9

Now therefore,
behold, the cry of the children of Israel
has come unto Me.

And I have also seen the oppression
wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. 10

Come now therefore,
and I will send you unto Pharaoh,
that you may bring forth
My people the children of Israel out of Egypt."

11 And Moses said unto 'Elohiym/Godhead,
"Who . . . {am} I,
that I should go unto Pharaoh,
and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?"

12 And He {God} said,
"Certainly I will be with You.

And this shall be a token unto you,
that I have sent you . . .
when you have brought forth the people out of Egypt,
you shall serve 'Elohiym/Godhead upon this mountain.

13 And Moses said unto 'Elohiym/Godhead,
"Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel,
and shall say unto them,
'The 'Elohiym/Godhead of your fathers
has sent me unto you.

And they shall say to me, 'What is His name?'

What shall I say unto them?"

14a And 'Elohiym/Godhead said unto Moses,
"I am . . . the I am"/"I am the Always Existing One"
  {hayah hayah - imperfect tense -
  'I keep on being THE ONE WHO keeps on being'}

[Note: This is very important. Here we have the Holy Name by which the Jews were to know their One Invisible God. The Name was too holy to be spoken aloud. It is called the Tetragrammaton. It has no vowel points and is the English letters JHVH or YHVH. The Israelites just said "Adonay" when they came across it in the scriptures. Literally it means "I am . . . [THE] I am" or "I am the always existing One". When spoken by God, it has great power as was demonstrated by Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (John 18:6) when He said only the first half of His Holy Name! Jesus will destroy armies by the "breath of His Mouth" in the Tribulation (II Thessalonians 2:8a). My guess is He will mearly say His full Holy Name!]

14b And He {God} said,
"Thus shall You say unto the children of Israel,
"I Am" has sent me unto you.

15 And 'Elohiym/Godhead said moreover unto Moses,
"Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel,
'The Jehovah/God . . . 'Elohiym/Godhead of your fathers . . .
the 'Elohiym/Godhead of Abraham . . .
the 'Elohiym/Godhead of Isaac . . .
and the 'Elohiym/Godhead of Jacob,
has sent me unto you.

This is My Name forever . . .
and this is My memorial unto all generations.

16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together,
and say unto them,
"The Jehovah/God . . .
'Elohiym/Godhead of your fathers,
the 'Elohiym/Godhead of Abraham . . . of Isaac, and of Jacob,
appeared unto me, saying,
"I have surely visited you,
and seen that which is done to you in Egypt."

17 And I have said,
"I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt
unto the land of the Canaanites,
and the Hittites,
and the Amorites,
and the Perizzites,
and the Hivites,
and the Jebusites . . .
unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

18 And they shall listen to your voice.

And you shall come . . .
you . . . and the elders of Israel . . .
unto the king/Pharaoh of Egypt,
and you shall say unto him,
'The Jehovah/God . . . 'Elohiym/Godhead of the Hebrews
has met with us
and now let us go,
we beg you,
three days' journey into the desert,
that we may sacrifice to the Jehovah/God our 'Elohiym/Godhead.

19 And I am sure that the king/Pharaoh of Egypt
will not let you go,
no, not by a mighty hand.

20 And I will stretch out my hand,
and smite Egypt with all My wonders
which I will do in the middle thereof.

And after that he will let you go.

21 And I will give this people grace in the sight of the Egyptians.

And it shall come to pass,
that, when you go, you shall not go empty.

22 But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor,
and of her that sojourns in her house,
jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment.

And you shall put them upon your sons,
and upon your daughters.

And you shall spoil the Egyptians.
