Sirach 45:3-5

Good News Translation

³ There in Egypt at his command the disaster struck.^[a] The Lord made kings hold him in respect. The Lord gave him his commands for his people and showed him the dazzling light of his presence. ⁴ The Lord chose Moses out of the whole human race and consecrated him because of his loyalty and humility. ⁵ He let him hear his voice and led him into the dark cloud, where, face-to-face, he gave him the commandments, the Law that gives life and knowledge, so that Moses might teach the covenant regulations to the Israelites.
