The Lord said to him, ‘Take the sandals off your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
In context
31Moses was amazed at the sight; and as he came closer to look, the voice of the Lord came: 32‘I am the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.’ Moses began to tremble and did not dare to look. 33The Lord said to him, ‘Take the sandals off your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground. 34I have seen, truly seen, the mistreatment of my people in Egypt; I have heard their groaning, and I have come down to rescue them. Now come, I will send you to Egypt.’ 35This Moses, whom they refused with the words ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ — this is the man God sent as ruler and redeemer, with the hand of the angel who had appeared to him in the bush.
