Acts 7:23-41

²³And when he was full forty yeare olde it came into his hert to visit his brethren the chyldren of Israhel.

²⁴And when he sawe one of them suffre wronge he defended him and avenged his quarrell that had the harme done to him and smote the Egypcian.

²⁵For he supposed hys brethren wolde have vnderstonde how that God by his hondes shuld save them But they vnderstode not.

²⁶And the next daye he shewed him selfe vnto them as they strove and wolde have set the at one agayne sayinge: Syrs ye are brethren why hurte ye one another?

²⁷But he that dyd his neghbour wronge thrust him awaye sayinge: who made the a rular and a iudge amonge vs?

²⁸What wilt thou kyll me as thou dyddest the Egyptian yester daye?

²⁹Then fleed Moses at that sayenge and was a stranger in the londe of Madian where he begat two sonnes.

³⁰And when .xl. yeares were expired ther appered to him in the wyldernes of mounte Syna an angell of the Lorde in a flamme of fyre in a busshe.

³¹When Moses sawe it he wondred at the syght. And as he drue neare to beholde the voyce of the Lorde came vnto him:

³²I am the God of thy fathers the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Iacob. Moses trembled and durst not beholde.

³³Then sayde the Lorde to him: Put of thy showes from thy fete for the place where thou stondest is holy grounde.

³⁴I have perfectly sene the affliccion of my people which is in Egypte and I have hearde their gronynge and am come doune to delyver them. And now come and I will sende the into Egypte.

³⁵This Moses whom they forsoke sayinge: who made the a ruelar and a iudge: the same God sent bothe a ruler and delyverer by the hondes of the angell which appered to him in the busshe.

³⁶And the same brought them out shewynge wonders and signes in Egypte and in the reed see and in the wyldernes .xl. yeares.

³⁷This is that Moses which sayde vnto the chyldre of Israel: A Prophet shall the Lorde youre God rayse vp vnto you of youre brethren lyke vnto me him shall ye heare.

³⁸This is he that was in the congregacion in the wyldernes with the angell which spake to him in the moute Syna and with oure fathers. This man receaved the worde of lyfe to geve vnto vs

³⁹to who oure fathers wolde not obeye but cast it from them and in their hertes turned backe agayne into Egypte

⁴⁰sayinge vnto Aaron: Make vs goddes to goo before vs. For this Moses that brought vs out of the londe of Egypte we wote not what is become of him.

⁴¹And they made a calfe in those dayes and offered sacrifice vnto the ymage and reioysed in the workes of their awne hondes.
