    One day while Moses was taking care of the sheep and goats
    of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, he led the
    flock across the desert and came to Sinai, the holy mountain.
    There the angel of the
    LORD appeared to him as a flame coming from the middle of
    a bush. Moses saw that the bush was on fire but that it was not
    burning up. "This is strange," he thought. "Why isn't the
    bush burning up? I will go closer and see."
    When the LORD saw that Moses was coming closer, he called
    to him from the middle of the bush and said, "Moses!
    Moses!"
    He answered, "Yes, here I am."
    God said, "Do not come any closer. Take off your sandals,
    because you are standing on holy ground. I am the God of
    your ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." So
    Moses covered his face, because he was afraid to look at God.
    Then the LORD said, "I have seen how cruelly my people are
    being treated in Egypt; I have heard them cry out to be
    rescued from their slave drivers. I know all about their
    sufferings, and so I have come down to rescue them from the
    Egyptians and to bring them out of Egypt to a spacious land,
    one which is rich and fertile and in which the Canaanites, the
    Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the
    Jebusites now live. I have indeed heard the cry of my people,
    and I see how the Egyptians are oppressing them. Now I am
    sending you to the king of Egypt so that you can lead my
    people out of his country."
    But Moses said to God, "I am nobody. How can I go to the
    king and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?"
    God answered, "I will be with you, and when you bring the
    people out of Egypt, you will worship me on this mountain.
    That will be the proof that I have sent you."
    But Moses replied, "When I go to the Israelites and say to
    them, 'The God of your ancestors sent me to you,' they will
    ask me, 'What is his name?' So what can I tell them?"
    God said, "I am who I am. You must tell them: 'The one who
    is called I AM has sent me to you.' Tell the Israelites that I,
    the LORD, the God of their ancestors, the God of Abraham,
    Isaac, and Jacob, have sent you to them. This is my name
    forever; this is what all future generations are to call me. Go
    and gather the leaders of Israel together and tell them that I,
    the
    LORD, the God of their ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac,
    and Jacob, appeared to you. Tell them that I have come to
    them and have seen what the Egyptians are doing to them. I
    have decided that I will bring them out of Egypt, where they
    are being treated cruelly, and will take them to a rich and
    fertile land—the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the
    Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
    "My people will listen to what you say to them. Then you
    must go with the leaders of Israel to the king of Egypt and say
    to him, 'The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has revealed
    himself to us. Now allow us to travel three days into the
    desert to offer sacrifices to the LORD, our God.' I know that
    the king of Egypt will not let you go unless he is forced to do
    so. But I will use my power and will punish Egypt by doing
    terrifying things there. After that he will let you go.
    "I will make the Egyptians respect you so that when my
    people leave, they will not go empty-handed. Every Israelite
    woman will go to her Egyptian neighbors and to any Egyptian
    woman living in her house and will ask for clothing and for
    gold and silver jewelry. The Israelites will put these things on
    their sons and daughters and carry away the wealth of the
    Egyptians."

    the LORD said to Moses, Take you
    Joshua
    the son of Nun, a man in whom
    is the spirit,
    and lay your hand on him;…
    Moses, after having
    been the leader of his people for
    forty years,
    is at length to get his discharge.
    Nothing has
    yet been determined regarding a
    successor. The
    point is, on every account, too
    important to be
    left open till the present leader
    has passed
    away. A change of leadership,
    always hazardous,
    is especially hazardous when the
    army is in the
    field and the enemy is on the
    watch. If the
    Divine wisdom judged it
    necessary that Eleazar
    should be invested with the high
    priesthood
    before Aaron died, much more is
    it necessary
    that, before Moses lays down the
    scepter, a
    successor should be appointed
    and placed in
    command.

    scorpion.That his littlest finger is thicker than my father's
    loins and your backs shall be broken.Rehoboam then waged
    war against his people.This leads to its rejection by his

    This story relates how Hosea has three children, a son
    called Jezreel, a daughter Lo-Ruhamah and another son
    Lo-Ammi. All the names are described in the text as
    having symbolic meaning, reflecting the relationship
    between God and Israel . Jezreel is named after the valley
    of that name . Lo-Ruhamah is named to denote the ruined
    condition of the kingdom of Israel and Lo-Ammi is named
    in token of God's rejection of his people. Although the
    latter two children are not specifically said to be Hosea's,
    James Mays says that this is "hardly an implication" of
    Gomer's adultery. In 3:1, however, it says that she is
    "loved by another man and is an adulteress". Hosea
    is told to buy her back, and he does so for 15 shekels and
    a quantity of barley. Exodus 21:32 establishes the value of
    a maidservant at 30 shekels so Gomer's value is
    diminished. She is not mentioned again in the book.
    Some analysts, following Felix Ernst Peiser, have
    suggested that this marriage is really a figurative or
    prophetic reference to a union between the " lost tribes of
    Israel " with the people of Gomer, following the Assyrian
    deportation.
    The relationship between Hosea and Gomer has been
    posited to be a parallel to the relationship between God
    and Israel. Even though Gomer runs away from Hosea
    and sleeps with another man, he loves her anyway and
    forgives her. Likewise, even though the people of Israel
    worshiped other gods, God continued to love them and
    did not abandon his covenant with them.
    According to Kirsten Abbott, feminist interpretation
    regards the story of Hosea and his relations with his wife
    Gomer as a metaphor for the conflict between a Covenant
    Theology (Israel violating the covenant relationship with
    YHWH) and a Creation Theology (YHWH will undo the
    fertility of the earth in response to Israel following other
    fertility gods).
