Sorry, I don't know where to put this, but I have a much better photo of the bush in St. Catherine's Monastery if you'd like it for the article. You can reach me at dawood82@gmail.com.
Ha ha! I honestly thought this was a hate speech political slogan when I saw it at first! Mark Richards 00:01, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
do it!! But it was rather interesting to know the botanical details after only having only seen the strange plant on a holiday tour. -- Yak 00:03, Feb 20, 2004 (UTC)
Could someone clarify which of the two bushes is claimed to be the bush in the picture??? 24.97.230.243 ( talk) 14:06, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
There are two bushes... which one is it??? 24.97.230.243 ( talk) 15:49, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
It's the bush in the upper right-hand corner of the photo. I have a better photo of it if you would like it for the article. You can reach me at dawood82@gmail.com. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.138.212.25 ( talk) 11:03, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
"Shrubs in the genus Euonymus, mostly known as spindles, in the family Celastraceae, are also called burning bush in North America, because of their bright red foliage in fall."
As far as I know, the only species of Euonymus refered to as 'burning bush' is E. alatus. Not all species/cultivars bear red fall colour. In fact, some are evergreens.
In Exodus 3 it says that "The Angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, "I will go over and see this strange sight - why the bush does not burn up." When The Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!" And Moses said, "Here I am." "Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." Then He said, "I Am The God of your father, The God of Abraham, The God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God." Yet there is no reference to "the Angel of the Lord in this article. Elatanatari 04:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
I have reverted recent edits justified with the summaries "3 sources cited, all of them over a century old - not very confidence-inspiring" and "Find a better source than a century-old encyclopedia". This is because:
SamuelTheGhost ( talk) 15:11, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
"In the narrative, an angel of YHWH is described as appearing in the bush,[6] and God is subsequently described as calling out from it to Moses, who had been grazing Jethro's flocks there." I replaced the first use of 'Yahweh' with 'YHWH': the tetragrammaton. Whether 'Yahweh'(6 letters,70=Y25+A1+H8+W23+E5+H8), 'Jehovah'(7,54/69), or 'Yehowah'(7,70/85) is correct is up for debate. Right now, the rest of the paragraph is full of 'Yahweh' and no use of 'God'. Is this because the editors of this article are Jewish and want the 'One God' to belong to the ancient Israelites? Christian editors would not only use YHWH & Yahweh. I realize that everyone has an agenda. - Brad Watson, Miami ( talk) 14:37, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
My edit summary was too long and got cut off, but it's a good idea to post here anyway. I agree with the removal of the sentence concerning hallucinogenics from the lead. There is only one scholar mentioned in the article (not "some scholars" as the lead sentence claimed) and there are several alternative theories mentioned - we shouldn't single out one of those for inclusion in the lead. St Anselm ( talk) 10:39, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
I wonder this, because me and another eye witnesses have seen not a burning bush but a burning tree. I cannot explain it, a normal tree, but we did not hear voices, and like the bible the tree was not harmed by the fire. First it looked like a huge light inside the tree (like 10 car headlights). Then later when that cooled down the fire seamed electric, like a lot of electric discharges; but not tiny electric sparks, more wider and slow moving sparks (not hectic, slow as a movie slowdown). Later it ended more like a laser light effect; like these thin laser walls. With a pattern like oil drips in water, but instead of oil this was light emitting. (and very beautiful to see, although one gets worried to about unknown things). Are there books other then the bible describing such phenomena too ? (ps we dont use drugs medication or alcohol) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.107.183.36 ( talk) 13:51, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

I think this section does not belongs here. IMO, it violates rule WP:NOR and even if didn't violate, I'd think it would fit better in a "See also" link redirecting to Benny Shanon page, where this speculation is already written about. Saung Tadashi ( talk) 02:22, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
According to the Qur’án, Moses (Musa) departed for Egypt along with his family after completing the time period.

The word "myth" is used by academics in at least three different ways. For a popular level encyclopedia such as Wikipedia, it is wise not to use a word which is likely to be misunderstood in the popular sense of "story that is not true".
