The Burning Bush
Now Moses was pasturing the flock of
Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of
Midian; and he led the flock to the west
side of the wilderness and came to Horeb,
the mountain of God. The angel of the
LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire
from the midst of a bush; and he looked,
and behold, the bush was burning with
fire, yet the bush was not consumed. So
Moses said, “I must turn aside now and
see this marvelous sight, why the bush is
not burned up.”

mind to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel.

down the Egyptian. And he supposed that

granting them deliverance through him, but

Egypt, and all the firstborn in the land of

Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the
firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the
millstones; all the firstborn of the cattle as
well. Moreover, there shall be a great cry in
all the land of Egypt, such as there has not
been before and such as shall never be
again.

Moses’ Anger
But against any of the sons of Israel a dog
will not even bark, whether against man or
beast, that you may understand how the
LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and
Israel.’ "All these your servants will come
down to me and bow themselves before me,
saying, ‘Go out, you and all the people who
follow you,’ and after that I will go out” And

from the way which I commanded them.
They have made for themselves a molten
calf, and have worshiped it and have
sacrificed to it and said, ‘This is your god, O
Israel, who brought you up from the land of
Egypt!’”
Ex. 32:7,8

God’s Anger
The LORD said to Moses, “I have seen this
people, and behold, they are an obstinate
people. Now then let Me alone, that My anger
may burn against them and that I may
destroy them; and I will make of you a great
nation.”
Ex. 32:Ex. 32:9,10

God’s Anger
Then Moses entreated the LORD his God, and
said, “O LORD, why does Your anger burn
against Your people whom You have brought
out from the land of Egypt with great power
and with a mighty hand? Why should the
Egyptians speak, saying, ‘With evil intent He
brought them out to kill them in the
mountains and to destroy them from the face
of the earth’? Turn from Your burning anger
and change Your mind about doing harm to
Your people.
Ex. 32:Ex. 32:11,12

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your
servants to whom You swore by Yourself,
and said to them, ‘I will multiply your
descendants as the stars of the heavens, and
all this land of which I have spoken I will
give to your descendants, and they shall
inherit it forever.’” So the LORD changed His
mind about the harm which He said He would
do to His people.

shattered them at the foot of the mountain.

burned it with fire, and ground it to powder,
and scattered it over the surface of the water
and made the sons of Israel drink it.

Aaron assemble the congregation and speak
to the rock before their eyes, that it may
yield its water. You shall thus bring forth
water for them out of the rock and let the
congregation and their beasts drink.” So

just as He had commanded him.

before the rock. And he said to them, “Listen
now, you rebels; shall we bring forth water
for you out of this rock?” Then Moses lifted

his rod; and water came forth abundantly,
and the congregation and their beasts drank.
But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel,
therefore you shall not bring this assembly
into the land which I have given them.”

became angry. He prayed to the LORD and
said, “Please LORD, was not this what I said
while I was still in my own country?
Therefore in order to forestall this I fled to
Tarshish, for I knew that You are a gracious
and compassionate God, slow to anger and
abundant in lovingkindness, and one who
relents concerning calamity. Therefore now,
O LORD, please take my life from me, for
death is better to me than life.”
