The Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their groaning.
I have come down to deliver them.
Now come, I will send you into Egypt.’ “This Moses whom they refused, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
