God spoke to Moses in Glaswegian. It's in a book, which I own.
"Wan day, as he wis mindin his sheep oan the slope o Mount Sinai, [Moses] saw
whit seemed tae be a bush in flames. The odd thing wis, though the bush wis
burnin away, it didny faw apart! Moses heard a voice callin oot, 'Moses!
Moses! Take aff yer sandals. Ye're standing the presence o God.'
Moses wis feart an hid his face in his cloak.
The voice went oan, "I am the God o Abraham, Isaac an Jacob. Ah've seen the
sufferin o ma people in Egypt, an I am taking them oot o that land. You,
Moses, will lead them aw inty a land flowin wi milk and honey.'
Moses gulped, 'Ah, Lord...eh, n-no me. Ah'm no fit tae dae that. Ye ken ah've
got a k-k-kinna stutter an ah canny speak awfy weel.'"
from Jamie Stuart, "A Glasgow Bible."
