Exodus 3:1-3

Easy-to-Read Version

The Burning Bush

3 Moses’ father-in-law was named Jethro.^[a] Jethro was a priest of Midian. Moses took care of Jethro’s sheep. One day Moses led the sheep to the west side of the desert. He went to a mountain called Horeb,^[b] the mountain of God. ² On that mountain, Moses saw the angel of the Lord in a burning bush.

Moses saw a bush that was burning without being destroyed. ³ So he decided to go closer to the bush and see how a bush could continue burning without being burned up.
