The miraculous sign through which God called Moses at Mount Horeb — a bush that burned with fire but was not consumed (Exodus 3:1-6). God spoke from the bush, revealing his name as 'I AM WHO I AM' (Exodus 3:14) and commissioning Moses to deliver Israel from Egypt. The burning bush demonstrates several theological truths: God's holiness ('Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground,' 3:5), his self-existence (the 'I AM' name), and his compassionate attention to suffering ('I have indeed seen the misery of my people,' 3:7). Jesus identified himself with the divine 'I AM' name (John 8:58), connecting his identity to this foundational revelation.
