Exodus 3:1-5 ▼

1 Meanwhile, Moses was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. He led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

2 Then the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire within a bush. As Moses looked, he saw that the bush was on fire but was not consumed.

3 So Moses thought: I must go over and look at this remarkable sight. Why isn’t the bush burning up?

4 When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called out to him from the bush, “Moses, Moses!|” Here I am,” he answered.”

5 Do not come closer,” He said. “Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”
