1 Now Moses was pasturing the sheep of his father-in-law Jethro, a priest of Midian. And when he had driven the flock into the interior of the desert, he came to the mountain of God, Horeb.
2 And the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. And he saw that the bush was burning and was not burnt.
3 Therefore, Moses said, 'I will go and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.'
4 Then the Lord, discerning that he proceeded on to see it, called to him from the midst of the bush, and he said, 'Moses, Moses.' And he responded, 'Here I am.'
5 And he said: 'Lest you should approach here, remove the shoes from your feet. For the place on which you stand is holy ground.'
