1 A Mojsije pasaše stado Jotoru tastu svom, svešteniku madijanskom, i odvede stado preko pustinje, i dođe na goru Božiju Horiv. 2 I javi mu se anđeo Gospodnji u plamenu ognjenom iz kupine. I pogleda, a to kupina ognjem gori a ne sagoreva. 3 I Mojsije reče: Idem da vidim tu utvaru veliku, zašto ne sagoreva kupina. 4 A Gospod kad ga vide gde ide da vidi, viknu ga Bog iz kupine, i reče: Mojsije! Mojsije! A on odgovori: Evo me. 5 A Bog reče: Ne idi ovamo. Izuj obuću svoju s nogu svojih, jer je mesto gde stojiš sveta zemlja. 6 Još reče: Ja sam Bog oca tvog, Bog Avramov, Bog Isakov i Bog Jakovljev. A Mojsije zakloni lice svoje, jer ga strah beše gledati u Boga. 7 I reče Gospod: Dobro videh nevolju naroda svog u Misiru, i čuh viku njegovu od zla koje mu čine nastojnici, jer poznah muku njegovu. 8 I siđoh da ga izbavim iz ruku misirskih, i da ga izvedem iz one zemlje u zemlju dobru i prostranu, u zemlju gde mleko i med teče, na mesto gde su Hananeji i Heteji i Amoreji i Ferezeji i Jeveji i Jevuseji. 9 I sada evo vika sinova Izrailjevih dođe preda me, i videh muku, kojom ih muče Misirci. 10 Sada hajde da te pošaljem k Faraonu, da izvedeš narod moj, sinove Izrailjeve, iz Misira. 11 A Mojsije reče Bogu: Ko sam ja da idem k Faraonu i da izvedem sinove Izrailjeve iz Misira? 12 A Bog mu reče: Ja ću biti s tobom, i ovo neka ti bude znak da sam te ja poslao: kad izvedeš narod iz Misira, služićete Bogu na ovoj gori. 13 A Mojsije reče Bogu: Evo, kad otidem k sinovima Izrailjevim, pa im kažem: Bog otaca vaših posla me k vama, ako mi kažu: Kako Mu je ime? Šta ću im kazati? 14 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Ja sam Onaj što jeste. I reče: Tako ćeš kazati sinovima Izrailjevim: Koji jeste, On me posla k vama. 15 I opet reče Bog Mojsiju: Ovako kaži sinovima Izrailjevim: Gospod Bog otaca vaših, Bog Avramov, Bog Isakov i Bog Jakovljev, posla me k vama; to je ime moje doveka, i to je spomen moj od kolena na koleno. 16 Idi, i skupi starešine izrailjske, pa im reci: Gospod Bog otaca vaših javi mi se, Bog Avramov, Isakov i Jakovljev, govoreći: Doista obiđoh vas, i videh kako vam je u Misiru. 17 Pa rekoh: Izvešću vas iz nevolje misirske u zemlju hananejsku i hetejsku i amorejsku i ferezejsku i jevejsku i jevusejsku, u zemlju gde teče mleko i med. 18 I oni će poslušati glas tvoj; pa ćeš ti i starešine izrailjske otići k caru misirskom, i reći ćete mu: Gospod Bog jevrejski srete nas, pa ti se molimo da izađemo tri dana hoda u pustinju da prinesemo žrtvu Gospodu Bogu svom. 19 A ja znam da vam neće dopustiti car misirski da izađete bez ruke krepke. 20 Ali ću pružiti ruku svoju, i udariću Misir svim čudesima svojim, koja ću učiniti u njemu: i posle će vas pustiti. 21 I učiniću da narod nađe ljubav u Misiraca, pa kad pođete, nećete poći prazni; 22 nego će svaka žena zaiskati u susede svoje i u domaćice svoje nakita srebrnog i nakita zlatnog i haljina; i metnućete na sinove svoje i na kćeri svoje, i oplenićete Misir.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… spake to Moses, in a flame of fire out of the bush, and said, I am that I am, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of thy fathers; go down into Egypt, and bring forth My people." And if you wish to learn what follows, you can do so from the same …
And thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: He who is, hath sent me unto you;" and His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who makes those that believe in His name the sons of God.
… what was the name of that God who was commanding him to go and deliver the Hebrew people out of Egypt, this answer was given: "I am who am; and thou shalt say to the children of Israel, He who is sent me unto you;" as though compared with Him that truly is, because He is unchangeable, those things which …

We worship, therefore, as the Father of Christ, the Maker of heaven and earth, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; to whose honour the former temple also, over against us here, was built.

… of His Essence; and of these especially He Who Is, not only because when He spake to Moses in the mount, and Moses asked what His Name was, this was what He called Himself, bidding him say to the people "I Am hath sent me," but also because we find that this Name is the more strictly appropriate.
