1. Moses’ father-in-law was named Jethro. 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, 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.
4. The Lord saw Moses was coming to look at the bush. So he called to him from the bush. He said, “Moses, Moses!” Moses said, “Yes, Lord.”
5. Then God said, “Don’t come any closer. Take off your sandals. You are standing on holy ground.
