Moses and the Burning Bush (Ex 3: 1-21)

While Moses was taking care of his father-in-law’s sheep, he led them to Sinai and saw a bush on fire. Because the bush was not consumed by the fire, Moses approached it to investigate. When he approached, God called Moses from the bush and instructed him to take off his sandals as he was on holy ground. He then revealed Himself to Moses and ordered him to approach the Egyptian pharaoh so that he could lead the Hebrews out of Egypt and to the promised land.
