Exodus 3:3-5

New Century Version

³ So he said, “I will go closer to this strange thing. How can a bush continue burning without burning up?”

⁴ When the Lord saw Moses was coming to look at the bush, 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, because you are standing on holy ground.
