made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

2:25. And the Lord looked upon the children of Israel, and he knew them.

Knew them... That is, he had respect to them, he cast a merciful eye
upon them.

Exodus Chapter 3

God appeareth to Moses in a bush, and sendeth him to deliver Israel.

3:1. Now Moses fed the sheep of Jethro, his father in law, the priest of
Madian: and he drove the flock to the inner parts of the desert, and
came to the mountain of God, Horeb.

3:2. And the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of
a bush: and he saw that the bush was on fire, and was not burnt.

The Lord appeared... That is, an angel representing God, and speaking in
his name.

3:3. And Moses said: I will go, and see this great sight, why the bush

3:10. But come, and I will send thee to Pharao, that thou mayst bring

3:13. Moses said to God: Lo, I shall go to the children of Israel, and
