Moses at the Burning Bush(I)

And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to (L)Horeb, (M)the mountain of God. 2 And (N)the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. 3 Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this (O)great sight, why the bush does not burn.”

And he said, “Here I am.”
