(19) God called Moses

 

Moses had met the man named "Jethro" in Midian.

 

Now Jethro had 7 daugthers, and

 he agreed to give one of his dauther "Zipporah"

to Moses as his wife.

Zipporah became pregnant and

gave birth to a son named "Gershom."

 

40 years later,

 

God heard Israelites' crying in Egypt and

he remembered his promise

with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

 

One day, Moses was tending the sheeps

at the mountain called "Horeb."

 

There the angel of God apperaed

to Moses in flame of fire within a bush.

Moses found it strange

because the bush was on fire but it did not burn.

 

 When Moses got close to the bush,

God called him

 

"Moses! Moses!"

 

"I have heard my people crying in Egypt,

Now I am sending you to Pharaoh to free my people

so they can worship me in the land I promised to them."

 

Moses refused to go several times

but God assured him and provided him

with signs and other assists.

 

With God's help,

Moses had returned to Egypt.
