Exodus 3
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Καὶ Μωυσῆς ἦν ποιμαίνων τὰ πρόβατα Ἰοθὸρ τοῦ γαμβροῦ αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἱερέως Μαδιάμ, καὶ ἤγαγεν τὰ πρόβατα ὑπὸ τὴν ἔρημον καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος Χωπήβ.
Meanwhile, Moses was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro (note: Moses’ father-in-law Jethro was also called Reuel; see Exodus 2:18.), the priest of Midian. He led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb (note: That is, Mount Sinai, or possibly a mountain in the range containing Mount Sinai), the mountain of God.
ὤφθη δὲ αὐτῷ ἄγγελος Κύρου ἐν πυρὶ φλογὸς ἐκ τοῦ βάτου· καὶ ὁρᾷ ὅτι ὁ βάτος καίεται πυρί, ὁ δὲ βάτος οὐ κατεκαίετο.
There the angel (note: Or Angel) of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from within a bush. Moses saw the bush ablaze with fire, but it was not consumed.
εἶπεν δὲ Μωυσῆς Παρελθὼν ὄψομαι τὸ δρᾶμα τὸ μέγα τοῦτο, ὅτι οὐ κατακαίεται ὁ βάτος.
So Moses thought, “I must go over and see this marvelous sight. Why is the bush not burning up?”
ὡς δὲ ἴδεν κύριος ὅτι προσάγει ἰδεῖν, ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν κύριος ἐκ τοῦ βάτου λέγων Μωυσῆ Μωυσῆ. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Τί ἐστιν ;
When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called out to him from within the bush, “Moses, Moses!” “Here I am,” he answered.
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Μὴ ἐγγίσῃς ὧδε· λῦσαι τὸ ὑπόδημα ἐκ τῶν ποδῶν σου, ὁ γὰρ τόπος ἐν ᾧ σὺ ἕστηκας γῆ ἁγία ἐστίν.
“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground (note: Cited in Acts 7:33).”
καὶ εἶπεν Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ θεὸς τοῦ πατρός σου, θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ καὶ θεὸς Ἰακώβ. ἀπέστρεψεν δὲ Μωυσῆς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ. εὐλαβεῖτο γὰρ κατεμβλέψαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ.
Then He said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob (note: Cited in Matthew 22:32, Mark 12:26, Luke 20:37, and Acts 7:32).” At this, Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
εἶπεν δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν ἰδὼν ἴδον τὴν κάκωσιν τοῦ λαοῦ μου τοῦ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ τῆς κραυγῆς αὐτῶν ἀκήκοα ἀπὸ τῶν ἐργοδιωκτῶν· οἶδα γὰρ τῆ ὀδύνην αὐτῶν,
The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the affliction of My people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their oppressors, and I am aware of their sufferings.
καὶ κατέβην ἐξελέσθαι αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς Αἰγυπτίων καὶ ἐξαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἐκείνης, καὶ εἰσαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς γῆν ἀγαθὴν καὶ πολλήν, εἰς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι, εἰς τὸν τόπον τῶν χαναναίων καὶ Χετταίων καὶ Ἀμορραίων καὶ Φερεζαίων καὶ Γεργεσαίων καὶ Εὑαίων
I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ κραυγὴ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἥκει πρὸς μέ, κἀγὼ ἑώρακα τὸ θλιμμὸν ὃν οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι θλίβουσιν αὐτούς.
And now the cry of the Israelites has reached Me, and I have seen how severely the Egyptians are oppressing them.
καὶ νῦν δεῦρο ἀποστείλω σε πρὸς Φαραὼ Βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἐξάξεις τὸν λαόν μου τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραὴλ ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
Therefore, go! I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people the Israelites out of Egypt (note: Cited in Acts 7:34).”
Καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς πρὸς τὸν θεόν τίς εἰμι ἐγὼ ὅτι πορεύσομαι πρὸς Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ὅτι ἐξάξω τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ τῆς γῆς Αἰγύπτου;
But Moses asked God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς Μωυσεῖ ἐγὼν ὅτι ἔσομαι μετὰ σοῦ· καὶ τοῦτό σοι τὸ σημεῖον ὅτι ἐγώ σε ἐξαποστελῶ· ἐν τῷ ἐξαγαγεῖν σε τὸν λαόν μου ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ λατρεύσατε τῷ θεῷ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τούτω.
“I will surely be with you,” God said, “and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, all of you will worship God on this mountain (note: Cited in Acts 7:7).”
καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξελεύσομαι πρὸς τοὺς υἰοὺς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐρῶ πρὸς αὐτούς Ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἀπέσταλκέν με πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐρωτήσουσίν με Τί ὄνομα αὐτῷ; τί ἐμ πρὸς αὐτούς;
Then Moses asked God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is His name?’ What should I tell them?”
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ὤν· καὶ εἶπεν Οὕτως ἐρεῖς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ Ὁ ὢν ἀπέσταλκέν με πρὸς ὑμᾶς.
God said to Moses, “I AM (note: Or I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE) WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς πάλιν πρὸς Μωυσῆν οὕτως ἐρεῖς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν, θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ καὶ θεὸς Ἰακώβ, ἀπέσταλκέν με πρὸς ὑμᾶς· τοῦτό μού ἐστιν ὄνομα αἰώνιον καὶ μνημόσυνον γενεῶν γενεαῖς.
God also told Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered in every generation.
ἐλθὼν οὖν συνάγαγε τὴν γερουσίαν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν ὦπταί μοι, θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ καὶ θεὸς Ἰακώβ, λέγων Ἐπισκοπῇ ἐπέσκεμμαι ὑμᾶς καὶ ὅσα συμβέβηκεν ὑμῖν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ
Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—has appeared to me and said: I have surely attended to you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt.
καὶ εἶπεν Ἀναβιβάσω ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῆς κακώσεως τῶν Αἰγυπτίων εἴς τὴν γῆν τῶν Χαναναίων καὶ Χετταίων καὶ Ἀμορραίων καὶ Φερεζαίων καὶ Γεργεσαίων κα Εὑαίων καὶ Ἰεβουσαίων, εἰς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι.
And I have promised to bring you up out of your affliction in Egypt, into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’
καὶ εἰσακούσονταί σου τῆς φωνῆς. καὶ εἰσελεύσῃ σὺ κα ἡ γερουσία Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτόν Ὁ θεὸς τῶν Ἐβραίων προσκέκληται ἡμᾶς. πορευσώμεθα οὖν ὁδὸν τρῶν ἡμερῶν ἔρημον, ἵνα θύσωμεν τῶ θεῶ ἡμῶν.
The elders of Israel will listen to what you say, and you must go with them to the king of Egypt and tell him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness, so that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.’
ἐγὼ δὲ οἶδα ὅτι οὐ προήσεται ὑμᾶς Φαραὼ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου πορευθῆναι, ἐὰν μὴ μετὰ χειρὸς κραταιᾶς·
But I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go unless a mighty hand compels him.
καὶ ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα πατάξω τοὺς Αἰγυπτίους ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς θαυμασίοις μου οἷς ποιήσω ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐξαποστελεῖ ὑμᾶς.
So I will stretch out My hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders I will perform among them. And after that, he will release you.
καὶ δώσω χάριν τῷ λαῷ ἐναντίον τῶν Αἰγυπτίων· ὅταν δὲ ἄποτρέχητε, οὐκ ἀπελεύσεσθε κενοί·
And I will grant this people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that when you leave, you will not go away empty-handed.
αἰτήσει γυνὴ παρὰ γείτονος καὶ συσκήνου αὐτῆς σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ καὶ χρυσᾶ καὶ ἱματισμόν, καὶ ἐπιθήσετε ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν· καὶ σκυλεύσατε τοὺς Αἰγυπτίους.
Every woman shall ask her neighbor and any woman staying in her house for silver and gold jewelry and clothing, and you will put them on your sons and daughters. So you will plunder the Egyptians.”
