Did you know:

The biblical burning bush is an object described by the Book of Exodus as being located on Mount Horeb. According to the narrative, the bush was on fire, but was not consumed by the flames, hence the name and was where Moses was appointed by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and into Canaan.
