When Moses was growing up, he was disturbed by the way his people, the Israelites, were treated. One day, he killed an Egyptian in anger at his mistreatment of an Israelite slave.

Moses fled into the dessert, where he led a new life as a shepherd. One day Moses came to Mount Horeb, the mountain of God with his flock.

There the angel of God appeared to him in flames of fire from with in the bush. Then God spoke to him through the burning bush, but Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at God.

God promised that the Israelites would be delivered from Egypt and take them up to the land flowing with milk and honey, the home of Canaanites and Hittites to mention but few.

God told Moses that he had been chosen to bring about God’s wishes. Moses was reluctant to take on the role, but God promised to support him, and showed him three signs to give him faith. Find the whole story in Exodus 3:21.
