Acts 7:27-37

²⁷But the one wronging his neighbor pushed him away, saying, ‘Who appointed you a ruler and a judge over us?

²⁸Do you desire to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’

²⁹Now Moses, at this saying, fled and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he fathered two sons.

³⁰“And forty years having been fulfilled, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai.

³¹And Moses, seeing it, marveled at the sight; and as he approached it to observe closely, the voice of the Lord came to him,

³²saying, ‘I am the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ And Moses was trembling and was not bold enough to look closely.

³³Then the Lord said to him, ‘Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.

³⁴I have certainly seen the mistreatment of My people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and I have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you to Egypt.’

³⁵“This Moses whom they denied, saying, ‘Who appointed you a ruler and a judge?’ This man God sent as a ruler and redeemer by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush.

³⁶He led them out, and did wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and at the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

³⁷“This is that Moses who said to the sons of Israel, ‘The Lord our God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brothers.’
