Moses was out tending the flock for his new father in-law a priest of Midian. As he approached the Mountain of God, Horeb, he noted an angel in a burning bush. Curiosity got the better of him and he approached for a closer look. He could not understand how the bush was burning but not consumed. The voice of God rang out from the bush "Moses! Moses!" Moses answered "Here I am." and was instructed to remove his sandals as he was standing on holy ground. God then told him that he was the God of his descendants naming Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Then Moses became fearful and hid his face, but God continued to tell him how he had heard his children cry out and had come to deliver them from their oppression with the help of Moses. Moses kept doubting his ability to carry out God's plan and came up with excuses. God continued laying out His plan and advised Moses to speak to the elders of Israelites about what God had told him.
