Acts 7:30-37

“After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to him in the desert of Mount Sinai, in the flame of a burning bush. When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight, and when he approached to investigate, there came the voice of the Lord, ‘ I am the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob .’ Moses began to tremble and did not dare to look more closely. But the Lord said to him, ‘ Take the sandals off your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground . I have certainly seen the suffering of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to rescue them . Now come, I will send you to Egypt .’ This same Moses they had rejected, saying, ‘ Who made you a ruler and judge? ’ God sent as both ruler and deliverer through the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush. This man led them out, performing wonders and miraculous signs in the land of Egypt, at the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years. This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, ‘ God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers .’
