Exodus 3:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Moses at the Burning Bush

3 Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led his flock beyond the wilderness and came to Mount Horeb,^[a] the mountain of God.^{(A) 2} There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed.^{(B) 3} Then Moses said, “I must turn aside and look at this great sight and see why the bush is not burned up.”^(C)
