Atos 7:31 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 7:31

When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight
To see a bush on fire was no extraordinary thing; but to see a bush on fire, and yet not consumed by it, which was the case here, was wonderful indeed: and that an angel of the Lord, or the Lord himself, should appear in it, made it still more amazing; though, as yet, this was not observed by Moses, only the former; and which struck him with wonder, and excited his curiosity:

and as he drew near to behold it;
to take a more exact view of it, and satisfy himself with the truth of it, and, if it was possible, to find out the reason why it was not burnt:

the voice of the Lord came unto him;
to his ears, out of the bush, and expressed the following words.

Atos 7:31 In-Context

29 A esta palavra fugiu Moisés, e tornou-se peregrino na terra de Madiã, onde gerou dois filhos.

30 E passados mais quarenta anos, apareceu-lhe um anjo no deserto do monte Sinai, numa chama de fogo no meio de uma sarça.

31 Moisés, vendo isto, admirou-se da visão; e, aproximando-se ele para observar, soou a voz do Senhor;

32 Eu sou o deus de teus pais, o Deus de Abraão, de Isaque e de Jacó. E Moisés ficou trêmulo e não ousava olhar.

33 Disse-lhe então o Senhor: Tira as alparcas dos teus pés, porque o lugar em que estás é terra santa.
