23But when he was about forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
24Seeing an Israelite being mistreated, Moses defended him and avenged him who was oppressed by striking the Egyptian:
25he thought that his brothers would understand that God by his hand was rescuing them, but they did not understand.
26On the next day he came to some Israelites as they were quarreling; he tried to put them at peace with each other; he said, 'Men, you are brothers; why are you hurting one another?'
27But the one who had wronged his neighbor pushed him away, and said, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
28Would you like to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'
29Moses ran away after hearing this; he became a foreigner in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
30When forty years were past, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
31When Moses saw the fire, he marveled at the sight; and as he approached to look at it, there came a voice of the Lord, saying,
32'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob.' Moses trembled and did not dare to look.
33The Lord said to him, 'Take off the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
34I have certainly seen the suffering of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their groaning, and I have come down to rescue them; now come, I will send you to Egypt.'
35This Moses whom they rejected, when they said, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge?'—he was the one whom God sent as both a ruler and deliverer. God sent him by the hand of the angel who appeared to Moses in the bush.
36Moses led them out of Egypt, after doing miracles and signs in Egypt and at the Sea of Reeds, and in the wilderness during forty years.
37It is the same Moses who said to the people of Israel, 'God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, a prophet like me.'
38This is the man who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel who had spoken to him on Mount Sinai. This is the man who was with our fathers; this is the man who received living words to give to us.
39This is the man whom our fathers refused to obey; they pushed him away from themselves, and in their hearts they turned back to Egypt.
40At that time they said to Aaron, 'Make us gods who will lead us. As for this Moses, who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.'
41So they made a calf in those days and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced because of the work of their hands.
