1 Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God’s mountain, to Horeb.
2 The Lord’s angel appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burnt with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 Moses said, “I will go now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.”
4 When the Lord saw that he came over to see, God called to him out of the middle of the bush, and said, “Moses! Moses!”He said, “Here I am.”
5 He said, “Don’t come close. Take off your sandals, for the place you are standing on is holy ground.”
