- (3:1-10) The revelation at the burning bush. Moses is called by God to be a prophet and a leader of the people. He will be God’s human agent in freeing the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt.
- (3:11-4:17) Moses expresses anxiety and doubt about his worthiness for the task. God encourages and reassures him, and gives signs to Moses to prove to the Israelites that he is indeed God’s messenger. All in all, Moses refuses God’s assignment five times, and God provides five counterarguments. Finally, Moses accepts the task.
