After I had said this I added: Bear with me while I prove to you also from the Book of Exodus, how this same Person, Angel and God and Lord and Man and Human Being, having appeared to Abraham and Jacob,Genesis 28:10-19 appeared in a flame of fire out of a bush, and conversed with Moses. And when they said that they would hear gladly, and without fatigue and eagerly, I added:
This is in the Book which is entitled Exodus: Now after those many days the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel groaned because of their labours, and so on, until: Go and gather together the elders of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them: The Lord, the God of your fathers, was seen of me, the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, saying: I do surely take cognizance of you and of whatsoever has happened to you in Egypt.
To this I added: Sirs, have you understood that He of whom Moses says an Angel had spoken to him in a flame of fire, He Himself, being God, signifies to Moses that He is the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob?
