| Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
| Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
|Moses tended the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far end of the desert, coming to Horeb and the mountain of God.
|[[Moses]] lived as the shepherd of the flock of his father-in-law, [[Jethro]], the priest of [[Midian]]. He led the flock to the western side of the desert, coming to Mount [[Horeb]], the mountain of [[God]].
|
|The "back side" of any mountain or region is always the western side--the side away from the sunrise.

|I have heard the cry of the children of Israel and I have seen the cruelty with which the Egyptians treat them.
|Look! The cry of the children of Israel has come to Me. Furthermore, I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians treat them.

|
|This Pharaoh was probably [[Neferhotep]].

| And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
| And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
|Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and rescue the children of Israel out of Egypt?"
|Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and rescue the children of Israel out of Egypt?"
|
|Now begins the excuse-making. Moses first pleads his insignificance.

|And He said, "I will be with you, and this shall be a sign to you, that when you have rescued the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God upon this mountain."
|
|God does not accept that. Whomever God sends, is significant enough for God.

|Second excuse: "What is Your Name?"

|And God said to Moses, "I AM, THAT'S WHO I AM," and he said, "You shall tell them, "I AM has sent me to you."

|See [[Tetragrammaton]]. In fact, ''Yahweh'' translates as "He exists." This form is ''Eyeh'', which translates as "''I'' exist."

| And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.

|
|The "three days" was an offer of compromise that God knew that the Egyptians would reject.

|"Every woman shall borrow from her neighbor, and of the guests in her house, [[silver]] and [[gold]] articles, and clothing, and you shall put them on your sons and daughters and so take the spoils of Egypt."
|
|The word translated "jewelry" means any sort of personal or household ornament. In this way the Israelites will gain a supply of gold and silver ([[bronze]] they will be able to make from readily available minerals), and finely spun linens that will become the materials for the [[Tabernacle]] and its furnishings.
