Exodus 3:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ So Moses said, “I will ·go closer to [^Lturn aside to see] this ·strange [or marvelous; great] thing. ·How can a bush continue burning without burning up [Why does not the bush burn]?”

⁴ When the Lord saw Moses was ·coming [^Lturning aside] to look at it, God called to him from the bush, “Moses, Moses!”

And Moses said, “Here I am.”

⁵ Then God said, “Do not come any closer. Take off your sandals [^Lfrom your feet], because the place where you are standing is holy ground.
