Summary/Abstract: The article postulates a narrative reading of Exodus 2:1–3:15 as a moreappropriate one than a historicalcritical reading focused on the composite origin andthe literary evolution of the text. The text in the several wellthought episodes createsa narrative identity of Moses in its multifaceted form. In his lifespan he has been subjectedto the influence of three religions: Egyptian, Hebrew, and Midian. All of themare challenged in the call narrative (Ex 3:115). Searching for the meaning of a commondesert bush on fire Moses is looking for a significance of his entire life. At the same timehowever he encounters God in a radically new form, adequate to his narrative identity.Thus the new identity of God and of Moses interweave with each other in one formula:I AM has sent me to you (Ex 3:14).
