Analysis and Actual Interpretation of Chapter 3,1 - 4,17

In this paper the biblical passage dealing with the vocation of Moses is analysed. At first, the beginning and end of the passage is determined, the function of the passage within the context of Exodus narration is examined and several Czech translations of the text are compared. The examination is based on the Czech Study Translation. The second and third part of the paper is devoted to text analysis. At first the text is analysed on the linguistic-syntactic level, i.e. the grammar, stylistics and structure are examined. Next it deals with semantic analysis, i.e. with the meaning of the text, certain words are explained and semantic fields analysed. The last part attempts to find incentives for the life of contemporary youth in the passage. The way of communication of man and God in the case of biblical characters and of contemporary people is compared. 21st century youth is characterised as well as barriers which prevent it from hearing the voice of God. The issue of vocation recognition is discussed
