Detailed explanation-1: -According to the biblical account, the bush was on fire, but was not consumed by the flames, hence the name. In the biblical narrative, the burning bush is the location at which Moses was appointed by Yahweh to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and into Canaan.
Detailed explanation-2: -He had to pay attention to the fire for a while before he could realize that the bush was not being consumed. That is a principle for all of us in our contemplation of God. We rarely experience God immediately in anything. Instead, our healthy experiences of God take time.
Detailed explanation-3: -The burning bush is an important moment in the Old Testament because it acts as a sign to Moses that God has chosen him to lead his people out of Egypt to the Promised Land. However, it is also significant in broader biblical terms because God imparts his personal name to Moses.
Detailed explanation-4: -Burning bush, also known as winged Euonymus, is often a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub that grows to 6-12’ tall. It develops a dense branching habit and often is wider than it is tall.
