Acts 7:28-41
-
28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
-
29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.
-
30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
-
31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came unto him,
-
32 Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.
-
33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
-
34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
-
35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
-
36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
-
37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.
-
38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:
-
39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
-
40 Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
-
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
