Moses, which answered:  I am here.  Then said our Lord:  Approach no nearer hitherward.  Take off thy shoon from thy feet, the place that thou standest on is holy ground.  And said also:  I am God of thy fathers, God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.  Moses then hid his face, and durst not look toward God.  To whom God said:  I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their cry of the hardness that they suffer in their works, and I knowing the sorrow of them am descended to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians, and shall lead them from this land into a good land and spacious, into a land that floweth milk and honey, unto the places of Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.  The cry of the children of Israel is come to me, I have seen their affliction, how they be oppressed of the Egyptians.  But come to me and I shall send thee unto Pharaoh that thou shalt lead the children of Israel out of Egypt.  Then Moses said to him:  Who am I that shall go to Pharaoh and lead the children out of Egypt?  To whom God said:  I shall be with thee, and this shall be the sign that I send thee.  When thou shalt have led out my people of Egypt, thou shalt offer to God upon this hill.  Moses said unto God:  Lo! if I go to the children of Israel and say to them:  God of your fathers hath sent me to you; if they say:  What is his name? what shall I say?  Our Lord said to Moses:  I am that I am.  He said:  Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel:  He that is, sent me to you, and yet shalt thou say to them:  The Lord God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, hath appeared to me saying:  This is my name for evermore, and this is my memorial from generation to generation.  Go and gather together the seniors and aged men of Israel, and say to them:  The Lord God of your fathers hath appeared to me, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, saying:  Visiting I have visited you, and have seen all that is fallen in Egypt, and I shall lead you out of the affliction of Egypt into the land of Canaan, Ethei, etc., unto the land flowing milk and honey, and they shall hear thy voice.  Thou shalt go and take with thee the seniors of Israel to the king of Egypt, and shalt say to him:  The Lord God of the Hebrews hath called us; we shall go the journey of three days in wilderness that we may offer to our Lord God.  But I know well that the king of Egypt shall not suffer you to go but by strong hand.  I shall stretch out my hand and shall smite Egypt in all my marvels that I shall do amid among them.  After that he shall let you go.  I shall then give my grace to this people tofore the Egyptians, and when ye shall go out ye shall not depart void, nor with nought, but every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her hostess, vessels of silver and of gold, and clothes, and them shall ye lay on your sons, and on your daughters, and ye shall rob Egypt.  Then Moses answered and said:  They shall not believe me ne hear my voice, but shall say:  God hath not appeared to thee.
