Moses and the Burning Bush

Sura 28 (The Story)
(20) And [then and there] a man came

fearfully about him, and prayed: “O my {21} ‫ﻦ‬ َ ‫ﻦ ا ْﻟ َﻘ ْﻮ ِم اﻟﻈﱠﺎِﻟﻤِﻴ‬ َ ‫ﺠﻨِﻲ ِﻣ‬ ‫َﻧ ﱢ‬

able to reach you”. By virtue of Our
messages shall you two, and all who follow
you, prevail!” (36) But as soon as Moses
came unto them with Our clear messages
[Pharaoh and his great ones] said: “All this
is nothing but spellbinding eloquence
devised [by man]: and never did we hear
[the like of] this, [nor has it ever been heard
of] in the time of our forebears of old!”

Exodus 3:1
1
Now Moses, tending the flock of his ‫שמות פרק ג‬
father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian,
drove the flock into the wilderness, and
‫)א( וּ ֹמ ׁשֶה ָהיָ ה ֹר ֶעה ֶאת ֹצאן‬
came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2An ‫יִ ְתרוֹ ֹח ְתנוֹ ּכ ֵֹהן ִמ ְדיָ ן וַ יּ ִנְ ַהג ֶאת‬
angel of the LORD appeared to him in a
blazing fire out of a bush. He gazed, and ‫ַה ּצֹאן ַא ַחר ַה ּמ ְִד ּבָר וַ יּ ָֹבא ֶאל ַהר‬
there was a bush all aflame, yet the bush
was not consumed. 3Moses said, "I must :‫ָה ֱא ֹל ִהים ֹח ֵר ָבה‬
turn aside to look at this marvelous sight;
why doesn't the bush burn up?" 4When the ‫)ב( וַ יּ ֵָרא ַמ ְל ַא ְך יְ ֹדוָ ד ֵא ָליו ּב ְַל ּבַת‬
LORD saw that he had turned aside to
look, God called to him out of the bush:
‫ֵא ׁש ִמ ּתוֹ ְך ַה ּס ְֶנה וַ יּ ְַרא וְ ִהנּ ֵה‬
"Moses! Moses!" He answered, "Here I ּ‫ינ ּנו‬
ֶ ‫ַה ּסְנֶ ה ּב ֵֹער ּב ֵָא ׁש וְ ַה ּס ְֶנה ֵא‬
am." 5And He said, "Do not come closer.
Remove your sandals from your feet, for :‫ֻא ּכָל‬
the place on which you stand is holy
ground. 6I am," He said, "the God of your ‫ֹאמר ֹמ ׁשֶה ָא ֻס ָרה נּ ָא‬
ֶ ּ‫)ג( וַ י‬
father, the God of Abraham, the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses ‫וְ ֶא ְר ֶאה ֶאת ַה ּמ ְַר ֶאה ַהגּ ָֹדל ַהזּ ֶה‬
hid his face, for he was afraid to look at (‫)ד‬ :‫ַמ ּדוּ ַע ֹלא יִ ְב ַער ַה ּס ְֶנה‬
God. 7And the LORD continued, "I have
marked well the plight of My people in ‫וַ יּ ְַרא יְ ֹדוָ ד ּכִי ָסר ִל ְראוֹ ת וַ יּ ְִק ָרא‬
Egypt and have heeded their outcry
because of their taskmasters; yes, I am ‫ֹאמר‬
ֶ ּ‫ֵא ָליו ֱא ֹל ִהים ִמ ּתוֹ ְך ַה ּס ְֶנה וַ י‬
mindful of their sufferings. 8I have come
down to rescue them from the Egyptians :‫ֹאמר ִהנּ ִֵני‬
ֶ ּ‫ֹמ ׁשֶה ֹמ ׁשֶה וַ י‬
and to bring them out of that land to a good
and spacious land, a land flowing with milk
‫ֹאמר ַאל ּת ְִק ַרב ֲה ֹלם ׁשַל‬
ֶ ּ‫)ה( וַ י‬
and honey, the region of the Canaanites, ‫יך ּכִי ַה ּמָקוֹ ם‬
ָ ‫יך ֵמ ַעל ַרגְ ֶל‬
ָ ‫ְנ ָע ֶל‬
the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites,
the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 9Now the ‫ֲא ׁשֶר ַא ּתָה עוֹ ֵמד ָע ָליו ַא ְד ַמת‬
cry of the Israelites has reached Me;
moreover, I have seen how the Egyptians :‫ֹק ֶד ׁש הוּ א‬
oppress them. 10Come, therefore, I will
send you to Pharaoh, and you shall free My ‫יך‬
ָ ‫ֹאמר ָא ֹנ ִכי ֱא ֹל ֵהי ָא ִב‬
ֶ ּ‫)ו( וַ י‬
people, the Israelites, from Egypt." 11But ‫ֱא ֹל ֵהי ַא ְב ָר ָהם ֱא ֹל ֵהי יִ ְצ ָחק‬
Moses said to God, "Who am I that I
should go to Pharaoh and free the Israelites ‫אל ֵהי יַ ֲע ֹקב וַ יּ ְַס ּתֵר ֹמ ׁשֶה ּפ ָָניו‬
ֹ ֵ‫ו‬
from Egypt?" 12And He said, "I will be
with you; that shall be your sign that it was :‫ּכִי יָ ֵרא ֵמ ַה ּבִיט ֶאל ָה ֱא ֹל ִהים‬
I who sent you. And when you have freed
the people from Egypt, you shall worship ‫יתי ֶאת‬
ִ ‫ֹאמר יְ ֹדוָ ד ָר ֹאה ָר ִא‬
ֶ ּ‫)ז( וַ י‬
God at this mountain." 13Moses said to
God, "When I come to the Israelites and
‫ֳע ִני ַע ּמִי ֲא ׁשֶר ּב ְִמ ְצ ָריִ ם וְ ֶאת‬
say to them 'The God of your fathers has ‫ַצ ֲע ָק ָתם ׁש ַָמ ְע ּתִי ִמ ּפ ְֵני ֹנ ְג ׂשָיו ּכִי‬
sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is
His name?' what shall I say to them?"
14
‫)ח( וָ ֵא ֵרד‬ :‫יָ ַד ְע ּתִי ֶאת ַמ ְכ ֹא ָביו‬
And God said to Moses, "Ehyeh-Asher-
Ehyeh." He continued, "Thus shall you say ֹ‫ְל ַה ּצִילוֹ ִמיּ ַד ִמ ְצ ַריִ ם וּ ְל ַה ֲע ֹלתו‬
to the Israelites, 'Ehyeh sent me to you.'"
 7
15
And God said further to Moses, "Thus
shall you speak to the Israelites: The ‫ִמן ָה ָא ֶרץ ַה ִהוא ֶאל ֶא ֶרץ טוֹ ָבה‬
LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of

Jacob, has sent me to you: This shall be My ‫ֶאל ְמקוֹ ם ַה ּכ ְַנ ֲע ִני וְ ַה ִח ּתִי‬
name forever, This My appellation for all
eternity. 16"Go and assemble the elders of :‫וְ ָה ֱא ֹמ ִרי וְ ַה ּפ ְִרזּ ִי וְ ַה ִחוּ ִי וְ ַהיְ בוּ ִסי‬
Israel and say to them: the LORD, the God
of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, ‫)ט( וְ ַע ּתָה ִהנּ ֵה ַצ ֲע ַקת ּב ְֵני‬
and Jacob, has appeared to me and said, 'I
have taken note of you and of what is being ‫יתי ֶאת‬
ִ ‫יִ ׂש ְָר ֵאל ּב ָָאה ֵא ָלי וְ גַ ם ָר ִא‬
done to you in Egypt, 17and I have
declared: I will take you out of the misery
‫ַה ּל ַַחץ ֲא ׁשֶר ִמ ְצ ַריִ ם ֹל ֲח ִצים‬
of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, the :‫ֹא ָתם‬
Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the
Hivites, and the Jebusites, to a land flowing ‫)י( וְ ַע ּתָה ְל ָכה וְ ֶא ׁש ְָל ֲח ָך ֶאל‬
with milk and honey.' 18They will listen to
you; then you shall go with the elders of ‫ּפ ְַר ֹעה וְ הוֹ ֵצא ֶאת ַע ּמִי ְב ֵני‬
Israel to the king of Egypt and you shall
say to him, 'The LORD, the God of the :‫יִ ׂש ְָר ֵאל ִמ ּמ ְִצ ָריִ ם‬
Hebrews, manifested Himself to us. Now ‫ֹאמר ֹמ ׁשֶה ֶאל ָה ֱא ֹל ִהים‬
ֶ ּ‫)יא( וַ י‬
therefore, let us go a distance of three days
into the wilderness to sacrifice to the ‫ִמי ָא ֹנ ִכי ּכִי ֵא ֵל ְך ֶאל ּפ ְַר ֹעה וְ ִכי‬
LORD our God.' 19Yet I know that the
king of Egypt will let you go only because :‫אוֹ ִציא ֶאת ּב ְֵני יִ ׂש ְָר ֵאל ִמ ּמ ְִצ ָריִ ם‬
of a greater might. 20So I will stretch out
My hand and smite Egypt with various ‫ֹאמר ּכִי ֶא ְהיֶ ה ִע ּמ ְָך וְ זֶ ה‬
ֶ ּ‫)יב( וַ י‬
wonders which I will work upon them;
after that he shall let you go. 21And I will
‫ִיך‬
ָ ‫ּל ְָך ָהאוֹ ת ּכִי ָא ֹנ ִכי ׁש ְַל ְח ּת‬
dispose the Egyptians favorably toward this ‫יא ָך ֶאת ָה ָעם ִמ ּמ ְִצ ַריִ ם‬
ֲ ‫ּבְהוֹ ִצ‬
people, so that when you go, you will not
go away empty-handed. 22Each woman ‫ּת ַַע ְבדוּ ן ֶאת ָה ֱא ֹל ִהים ַעל ָה ָהר‬
shall borrow from her neighbor and the
lodger in her house objects of silver and :‫ַהזּ ֶה‬
gold, and clothing, and you shall put these
on your sons and daughters, thus stripping ‫ֹאמר ֹמ ׁשֶה ֶאל ָה ֱא ֹל ִהים‬
ֶ ּ‫)יג( וַ י‬
the Egyptians."
TNK ‫ִהנּ ֵה ָא ֹנ ִכי ָבא ֶאל ּב ְֵני יִ ׂש ְָר ֵאל‬
Exodus 4:1 But Moses spoke up and
said, "What if they do not believe me and ‫יכם‬
ֶ ‫וְ ָא ַמ ְר ּתִי ָל ֶהם ֱא ֹל ֵהי ֲאבוֹ ֵת‬
do not listen to me, but say: The LORD did
not appear to you?" 2The LORD said to ‫יכם וְ ָא ְמרוּ ִלי ַמה‬
ֶ ‫ׁש ְָל ַח ִני ֲא ֵל‬
him, "What is that in your hand?" And he
replied, "A rod." 3He said, "Cast it on the :‫שְמוֹ ָמה ֹא ַמר ֲא ֵל ֶהם‬
ּׁ
ground." He cast it on the ground and it
became a snake; and Moses recoiled from
‫ֹאמר ֱא ֹל ִהים ֶאל ֹמ ׁשֶה‬
ֶ ּ‫)יד( וַ י‬
it. 4Then the LORD said to Moses, "Put ‫ֹאמר ּכֹה‬
ֶ ּ‫ֶא ְהיֶ ה ֲא ׁשֶר ֶא ְהיֶ ה וַ י‬
out your hand and grasp it by the tail" -- he
put out his hand and seized it, and it ‫אמר ִל ְב ֵני יִ ׂש ְָר ֵאל ֶא ְהיֶ ה‬
ַ ‫ֹת‬
became a rod in his hand -- 5"that they
may believe that the LORD, the God of ֶ ‫ׁש ְָל ַח ִני ֲא ֵל‬
:‫יכם‬
their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God

of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, did appear
to you." 6The LORD said to him further,
"Put your hand into your bosom." He put
his hand into his bosom; and when he took
it out, his hand was encrusted with snowy
scales! 7And He said, "Put your hand back
into your bosom." -- He put his hand back
into his bosom; and when he took it out of
his bosom, there it was again like the rest
of his body. -- 8"And if they do not believe
you or pay heed to the first sign, they will
believe the second. 9And if they are not
convinced by both these signs and still do
not heed you, take some water from the
Nile and pour it on the dry ground, and it --
the water that you take from the Nile -- will
turn to blood on the dry ground." 10But
Moses said to the LORD, "Please, O Lord,
I have never been a man of words, either in
times past or now that You have spoken to
Your servant; I am slow of speech and
slow of tongue." 11And the LORD said to
him, "Who gives man speech? Who makes
him dumb or deaf, seeing or blind? Is it not
I, the LORD? 12Now go, and I will be with
you as you speak and will instruct you
what to say." 13But he said, "Please, O
Lord, make someone else Your agent."
14
The LORD became angry with Moses,
and He said, "There is your brother Aaron
the Levite. He, I know, speaks readily.
Even now he is setting out to meet you, and
he will be happy to see you. 15You shall
speak to him and put the words in his
mouth -- I will be with you and with him as
you speak, and tell both of you what to do -
- 16and he shall speak for you to the
people. Thus he shall serve as your
spokesman, with you playing the role of
God to him, 17And take with you this rod,
with which you shall perform the signs."
18
Moses went back to his father-in-law
Jether and said to him, "Let me go back to
my kinsmen in Egypt and see how they are
faring." And Jethro said to Moses, "Go in
peace."
