2 The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from within a bush. He looked--and the bush was ablaze with fire, but it was not being consumed! 3 So Moses thought, |I will turn aside to see this amazing sight. Why does the bush not burn up?| 4 When the LORD saw that he had turned aside to look, God called to him from within the bush and said, |Moses, Moses!| And Moses said, |Here I am.| 5 God said, |Do not approach any closer! Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.| 6 He added, |I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.| Then Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.
