3:1 Now Moses ¹  was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert ²  and came to the mountain of God, to Horeb. ³  3:2 The angel of the Lord ⁴  appeared ⁵  to him in ⁶  a flame of fire from within a bush. ⁷  He looked ⁸  – and ⁹  the bush was ablaze with fire, but it was not being consumed! ¹⁰  3:3 So Moses thought, ¹¹  “I will turn aside to see ¹²  this amazing ¹³  sight. Why does the bush not burn up?” ¹⁴  3:4 When the Lord ¹⁵  saw that ¹⁶  he had turned aside to look, God called to him from within the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” ¹⁷  And Moses ¹⁸  said, “Here I am.” 3:5 God ¹⁹  said, “Do not approach any closer! ²⁰  Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ²¹  ground.” ²² 

19:3 But he urged ¹  them persistently, so they turned aside with him and entered his house. He prepared a feast for them, including bread baked without yeast, and they ate. 19:20 Look, this town ²  over here is close enough to escape to, and it’s just a little one. ³  Let me go there. ⁴  It’s just a little place, isn’t it? ⁵  Then I’ll survive.” ⁶
