In this, Moses’ first act of public record, he took the law into his own hands and for the first time allowed his sympathy for the Hebrews to be known. Though God preordained Moses to “Let My People Go,” Moses was a man like other men, and God did not exempt him from the law of [[karma]]. For this and other reasons, Moses did not attain union with God at the end of his mission with the Israelites. God required him to reincarnate to balance his karma. | In this, Moses’ first act of public record, he took the law into his own hands and for the first time allowed his sympathy for the Hebrews to be known.

Moses fled Egypt to the land of Midian, where he lived for forty years. The Bible tells us that it was there that “the angel of the L<small>ORD</small> appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.” The L<small>ORD</small> said, “I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt, have heard their cry. I know their sorrows.” Then he commanded Moses: “Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.” Moses said, “When they ask me what is your name, what shall I tell them?” God said, “I AM THAT I AM: Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.”<ref>Exod. 3:2, 7, 10, 14.</ref> | Moses fled Egypt to the land of Midian, where he lived for forty years.
