BURNING BUSH
burning bush
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.

Burning-Bush
was that in which Jehovah appeared to Moses at the foot of Mount Horeb (Exo 3:2). Such was the splendor of the Divine Majesty that its effulgence dazzled his sight, and he was unable to behold it, and, in token of humility, submission, and reverence, Moses hid his face. When the Hebrew lawgiver, just before his death, pronounced his blessing upon the chosen tribes, he called to mind this remarkable event, and supplicated in behalf of the posterity of Joseph the good-will of Him that dwelt in the bush (Deu 33:16); words which seem to indicate in this transaction something of an allegorical or mystical import, though there-are various opinions as to the particular thing it was destined to shadow forth. This fire, says Bishop Patrick, might be intended to show that God would there meet with the Israelites, and give them his law in fire and lightning, and yet not consume them. (See Kichmaver, De rubro ardente, Rot. 1692; Schroder, id. Amst. 1714.) SEE BUSH.
