Through this remarkable event, Moses encounters God on Mount Horeb, and God reveals Himself (Deuteronomy 33:1.. The burning bush (or the unburnt bush) refers to an event recorded in the Jewish Torah (as also in the biblical Old Testament). It is described in the third chapter of the Book of Exodus as having occurred on Mount Horeb.
