²³And when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel.

²⁴And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed by smiting the Egyptian.

²⁶And the next day he showed himself to them as they were contending, and urged them to peace, saying, Ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one another?

²⁷But he who was wronging his neighbor thrust him away, saying, “Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?

²⁸Dost thou mean to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian yesterday?”

³⁰And when forty years were completed, there appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai an angel in the flaming fire of a bush.

³¹And Moses seeing it wondered at the sight; and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came to him,

³²saying, “I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.” And Moses trembled and durst not behold.

³³And the Lord said to him, “Loose the sandals from thy feet; for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
