The angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3
Moses said, "I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt."
4

5
He said, "Don't come close. Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground."
6
Moreover he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.
