16and they were transferred to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor of Shechem.
17“Now as the time of the promise was approaching which God had sworn to Abraham, the people increased and were multiplied in Egypt,
18until a different king arose who had not known Joseph.
19This man took advantage of our race and oppressed our fathers, making them expose their babies so that they would not stay alive.
20At that time Moses was born, and was well pleasing to God; he was nurtured in his father's house for three months.
21When he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter took him to herself and brought him up as her own son.
22So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; he was mighty in words and deeds.
23Now when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the sons of Israel.
24Well seeing one of them being wronged, he defended and avenged the one being oppressed, striking down the Egyptian.
25Now he supposed that his brothers understood that God was giving them deliverance by his hand, but they did not understand.
26The next day he appeared to them as they were fighting and tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers; why do you wrong one another?’
27But the one who was wronging his neighbor pushed Moses away, saying: ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
28Do you want to kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday?’
29Well Moses fled at that word, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons.
30“And when another forty years had passed, Angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
31Well upon seeing it Moses was amazed at the sight, but as he approached for a closer look the voice of the Lord came to him:
32‘I am the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.’ Moses started trembling and did not dare to look.
