While looking after sheep, Moses sees a bush that burns without burning up. God calls to him from it and sends him to Pharaoh to free his people.

Exodus 3–4. Moses, who fled Egypt years earlier, is tending sheep in the desert when a bush burns without burning up. God speaks from it, gives his name, “I AM,” and sends Moses to free the Israelites from slavery. Moses objects five times, including that he is “slow of speech and tongue.” God answers each objection and sends his brother Aaron to speak with him. Exodus 7 onward tells what happened next.
