God's first recorded flex: fire with zero heat damage and a job offer.
means A bush that burns yet is not consumed — in Exodus, the form God takes to get Moses' attention and recruit him to free the Israelites from Egypt.
from From the Hebrew Bible (Exodus 3), where it's called 'seneh' (סנה), a thornbush; some scholars link the word to 'Sinai,' though that connection is debated, not settled. The phrase has since drifted into English as a stock image for any sudden, unmistakable divine summons — 'a burning bush moment' — borrowed far outside its original scripture.
