God called to him out of the bush: “Moses! Moses!” He answered, “Here I am.” And [God] said, [...] “I am the God of your father’s [house]—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Come, therefore, I will send you to Pharaoh, and you shall free My people, the Israelites, from Egypt.”
But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and free the Israelites from Egypt?”
And [God] said, “I will be with you; that shall be your sign that it was I who sent you. And when you have freed the people from Egypt, you shall worship God at this mountain.”
(Exodus 3, 4-12)
