5 He said, |Don't come close. Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground.|

6 Moreover he said, |I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.| Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.

7 Yahweh said, |I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

8 I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
