Parallels

  • Exod.2:15-22 (structural): Immediate narrative background: Moses flees to Midian, marries Zipporah (Jethro's daughter) and becomes a shepherd there—sets up his presence in Midian and connection with Jethro referenced in 3:1.
  • Exod.3:2 (structural): Direct continuation: the theophany at the burning bush occurs after Moses arrives at Horeb, linking his shepherding and journey to the divine encounter.
  • Judg.6:11-14 (thematic): Gideon is addressed by a heavenly messenger while occupied with rural duties (threshing/shepherding); parallels the motif of God calling an unlikely, rural figure through a theophany.
  • 1 Sam.16:11-13 (thematic): David is found tending sheep before being anointed king—another instance of a shepherd's ordinary vocation preceding divine commissioning, echoing the motif in Exodus 3:1.

Parallels

  • Acts 7:30-32 (quotation): Stephen recounts the Moses story and quotes the same language: an angel of the Lord appearing in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush — direct retelling/quotation of Exod. 3.
  • Psalm 104:4 (verbal): Speaks of God's angels as 'a flame of fire,' echoing the wording that the angel of the LORD appeared 'in a flame of fire' (verbal/imagistic link between divine messenger and fire).
  • Exodus 19:18 (thematic): At Sinai the LORD's presence is manifested with fire, smoke, and earthquake; both passages portray divine self‑revelation through fire as a sign of holiness and presence.
  • 1 Kings 19:11-12 (thematic): Elijah's theophany includes wind, earthquake, and fire, with God's presence finally disclosed in a 'still small voice' — a related motif of God appearing amid dramatic natural phenomena (fire) as a mode of revelation.
  • Ezekiel 1:13-14 (thematic): Ezekiel's vision contains living creatures and wheels aflame — pervasive imagery of fire and burning coals as manifestations of divine glory, paralleling the burning‑but‑unconsumed motif as signifying God's presence.

  • Deut.5:4-5 (allusion): Deuteronomy recalls God’s face‑to‑face revelation 'out of the fire' on the mountain—a related motif of divine presence manifested in fire.

  • Matthew 22:32 (quotation): Jesus cites the Exodus wording ('God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob') (quoting Exod 3:6) to argue for God's ongoing, living relationship with the patriarchs—an explicit New Testament use of the formula in 3:15.

And Moses was shepherding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to the mountain of God, to Horeb. And the messenger of YHWH appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of the bush; and he saw, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, Let me turn aside now and see this great sight—why the bush does not burn up. And when YHWH saw that he had turned aside to see, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here I am. And he said, Do not come near; take off your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground. And he said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to gaze upon God. And YHWH said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sufferings. And I have come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up from that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. And now, behold, the cry of the Israelites has come to me; and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. And now, come, and I will send you to Pharaoh; and bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt. And Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the Israelites out of Egypt? And he said, Indeed I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you that it is I who have sent you: when you bring the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain. And Moses said to God, Look, I am going to the Israelites and will say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you; and they will say to me, What is his name? What shall I say to them? And God said to Moses, I Will Be Who I Will Be. And he said, Thus you shall say to the Israelites: I Will Be has sent me to you. And God said further to Moses, Thus you shall say to the Israelites: YHWH, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is my name forever, and this is my remembrance from generation to generation.

Go and gather the elders of Israel and say to them, YHWH, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—has appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you, and I have seen what has been done to you in Egypt. And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite—a land flowing with milk and honey.
