Exodus 3:1-5 (NRSV)
The burning bush
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
Horeb, the mountain of God. 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. Then Moses said, "I must turn aside and look
at this great sight, and see why the bush is not burned up." When the
Lord saw that he had turned aside to see, God called to him out of the
bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am." Then he said, "Come no
closer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you
are standing is holy ground."
