Exodus 3

An angel of God gets Moses' attention with a burning bush that is not consumed by the fire. God speaks to Moses and tells him that he will be the one to lead the enslaved children of Israel (Israelites) to the land promised to their ancestors.

Moses doubts his ability to persuade the elders of Israel because he is not the best speaker. Moses asks God what His name is. God informs Moses that the king of Egypt will have to be forced to let the Israelites go.
