Exodus 3:2Easy To Read VersionOn that mountain, Moses saw the Angel of the Lord in a burning bush. {This is how it happened.} Moses saw a bush that was burning without being destroyed. See the chapter |
{The Lord also said,} “Go and gather together the elders (leaders) of the people and tell them, ‘YAHWEH, [23] the God of your ancestors, [24] has appeared to me. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob spoke to me. The Lord says: I have been watching over you and I have seen the things that people did to you in Egypt.
When they came out, the satraps {\cf2\super [36]} , prefects {\cf2\super [37]} , governors, and royal advisers crowded around them. They could see that the fire had not burned Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Their bodies were not burned at all. Their hair was not burned, their robes were not burned, and they didn’t even smell like they had been near fire.
The law {\cf2\super [61]} was without power because the law was made weak by our sinful selves. But God did what the law could not do. God sent his own Son to earth with the same human life that other people use for sin. God sent his Son to be an offering to pay for sin. So God used a human life to condemn (destroy) sin.
