up to look further, the voice of the Lord was heard, saying,
007:032 "`I am the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac,
and of Jacob.' "Quaking with fear Moses did not dare gaze.
007:033 "`Take off your shoes,' said the Lord, `for the spot on which you
are standing is holy ground.
007:034 I have seen, yes, I have seen the oppression of My people
who are in Egypt and have heard their groans, and I have come
down to deliver them. And now I will send you to Egypt.'
007:035 "The Moses whom they rejected, asking him, `Who appointed you
magistrate and judge?'--that same Moses we find God sending
as a magistrate and a deliverer by the help of the angel
who appeared to him in the bush.
007:036 This was he who brought them out, after performing marvels
and signs in Egypt and at the Red Sea, and in the Desert
for forty years.
007:037 This is the Moses who said to the descendants of Israel, "`God
will raise up a Prophet for you, from among your brethren,
just as He raised me up.'
007:038 `This is he who was among the Congregation in the Desert,
together with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai
and with our forefathers, who received ever-living utterances
to hand on to us.
007:039 "Our forefathers, however, would not submit to him, but spurned
his authority and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.
007:040 They said to Aaron, "`Make gods for us, to march in front of us;
for as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt,
we do not know what has become of him.'
007:041 "Moreover they made a calf at that time, and offered a sacrifice
to the idol and kept rejoicing in the gods which their own
hands had made.
