I-Eksodusi 3:1-6

UMose wayelusa umhlambi womukhwe wakhe uJethro, umphristi wakwaMidiyani. Wawuqhuba wedlula ehlane, waze wayofika eHorebhe entabeni kaNkulunkulu. Ingelosi kaSimakade yabonakala kuye elangabini lomlilo phakathi kwesihlahla. Wabona ukuthi isihlahla siyavutha, kodwa asipheli. UMose wathi: “Ake ngichezuke ukuze ngibone lesi simangaliso esingaka, ukuthi kungani isihlahla singashi.” Lapho uSimakade ebona ukuthi uchezukile ukuyobheka, uNkulunkulu wambiza esesihlahleni, wathi: “Mose, Mose!” Yena wathi: “Ngilapha.” UNkulunkulu wathi: “Ungasondeli lapha; khumula izimbadada ezinyaweni zakho, ngokuba indawo omi kuyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele.” Wayesethi: “NginguNkulunkulu kayihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe.” UMose wafihla ubuso bakhe, ngokuba wayesaba ukubheka uNkulunkulu.
