Aaron sat down on a rock. He could not believe what he was doing. The week before, a dream woke him up. A voice in that dream told him to go to the Mountain of God. He reached a creek and built a small fire. Later, he heard a noise. He picked up a staff to use it as a weapon.

" Is that you Aaron?".

" Moses". He dropped the staff. He hugged his brother.

" What brings you out to this wilderness?".

" I had a dream". His voice hesitated. " A voice told me to come out here".

" That was God talking to you".

" Moses, what happened out here?".

Moses explained everything to his brother.

" Stand in front of Pharaoh". He poked a stick in the fire. " Moses, he will kill us".

" No, he won't".

" How do you know that?".

" God wants you and me to deliver his people from the Egyptians". Moses grinned. " We have a specific task at hand".

Moses kept his head down in fear.

" I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians". The voice hesitated. " A land flowing with milk and honey".

Moses did not look up.

" I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people out of Egypt".

Moses looked up. " Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?".

" I will be with you". The voice hesitated. " You will worship God on this mountain".

" What will I say if they ask me the name of the one who sent me?".

" I am who I am". The voice hesitated. " I am has sent me to you".

" What if they do not believe me?".

" Throw your staff on the ground". 

Moses did so. It turned into a snake.

" Put your hand inside your cloak".

Moses did so. White spots like leprosy appeared on it.

" And what if they do not pay attention to either of those signs?".

" Take some water from the Nile and pour it on the ground". The voice hesitated. " Blood will appear".

Moses now protested. " Lord, please send someone else".

" Your brother Aaron the Levite can speak for you".

The voice fell silent.

As Moses walked toward Mount Sinai, he looked up seeking God. For about forty years, he tended sheep flocks for his father in law Jethro. He considered himself a simple shepherd. He walked toward the high mountain. At a certain spot, he found a good place to rest. He got on his knees. " Lord, remember your people in Egypt". He got up and continued walking.

All of a sudden, something caught his eye. He walked up to what looked like a bush on fire.

" Moses! Moses!".

He trembled in fear. " Here I am".

" Do not come any closer". The voice hesitated. " Take off your sandals".

Moses was confused.

" The place where you are standing is holy ground".

Moses took off his sandals.

" I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob".

In fear, Moses fell onto his knees.

" I have seen the misery of my people in Egypt". The voice hesitated. " I have heard their cry".

" Thank you".

" My daughter told me what happened at the well". After the meal was over, he asked Moses a question. " Your name sounds Egyptian but you don't look Egyptian".

" I am a Hebrew". Moses grinned. " I am the son of Amram of the tribe of Levi".

Jethro scratched his chin. " How did you happen to end up here?".

" I am a fugitive". He frowned. " I have no place to lie my head".

" You may stay with us". Jethro smiled. " You can tend my flocks". He scratched his head again. " As far as compensation?".

" Give me Zipporah for my wife". He grinned. " And I will serve you for seven years".

Moses walked along the sandy and dusty trail. With provisions from his mother and a map, he decided to walk toward Kadesh- Barnea. 

One morning before sunrise, he entered a small village. He sat down next to a well. He watched as a woman with black hair was leading some sheep. He watched in horror as a shepherd came up and threw her to the ground.

He ran over. He grabbed the shepherd by the throat. " Leave her alone".

The shepherd ran away.

" Thank you kind sir".

Moses fell asleep. He awoke to find the woman standing next to him.

" My father requests that you break your fast and eat bread under my father's roof".

" I would be honored to". He stood up. " And who is your father?".

" The Priest of Midian". She smiled. " My name is Zipporah".
