bush, burning
A miraculous feature in the scene, described in Exodus 3, where Jehovah appears to Moses at the foot of Mount Horeb in a bush which is “on fire” and yet is “not burnt.” The commission, given to Moses on this occasion, marks the beginning of the formation of the national life of the Chosen People. The kind of bush is not identified; tradition regards it as the bramble or blackberry bush.

Bush, Burning
The thorn-bush in which God was pleased to reveal Himself to Moses when He gave him his commission. Exo 3:2-4. God’s presence made it holy ground, and one of His characteristics is brought out by the bush burning, without being consumed; for ‘our God is a consuming fire,’ burning up the dross, without destruction. Moses did not forget the bush: when he blessed the twelve tribes just before he died he spoke of the “good will of him who dwelt in the bush.” Deu 33:16: and it is three times mentioned in the N.T. Mar 12:26; Luk 20:37; Act 7:30-35.
