出埃及記三章11至14節，四章1至5節

11摩西對神說：我是甚麼人，竟能去見法老，將以色列人從埃及領出來呢？

12神說：我必與你同在。你將百姓從埃及領出來之後，你們必在這山上事奉我；這就是我打發你去的證據。

13摩西對神說：我到以色列人那裡，對他們說：你們祖宗的神打發我到你們這裡來。他們若問我說：他叫甚麼名字？我要對他們說甚麼呢？

14神對摩西說：我是自有永有的；又說：你要對以色列人這樣說：那自有的打發我到你們這裡來。

出埃及記4
1摩西回答說：他們必不信我，也不聽我的話，必說：耶和華並沒有向你顯現。

2耶和華對摩西說：你手裡是甚麼？他說：是杖。

3耶和華說：丟在地上。他一丟下去，就變作蛇；摩西便跑開。

4耶和華對摩西說：伸出手來，拿住他的尾巴，他必在你手中仍變為杖；

5如此好叫他們信耶和華─他們祖宗的神，就是亞伯拉罕的神，以撒的神，雅各的神，是向你顯現了。

Exodus 3: 11 - 14; 4: 1 - 5

11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”

12 So He said, “I will certainly be with you. And this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”

13 Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?”

14 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

1 Then Moses answered and said, “But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to you.’”

2 So the LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?”
He said, “A rod.”

3 And He said, “Cast it on the ground.” So he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it.

4 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail” (and he reached out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand),

5 “that they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”
