Burning Bush
The Divine Utterance From Within The Burning Bush
This illustrated banner is based on the Scriptural text of Exodus (Sh’mot) 3v14, wherein YHWH responds to the question asked by Moses (Moshe), “What is Your Name?” The answer given by YHWH in Hebrew was, “Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh.”
The flame-shaped Hebrew letters appear to come forth, out of the burning bush. From right to left and top to bottom, the letters are Aleph-Hey-Yod-Hey—Aleph-Shin-Resh—Aleph-Hey-Yod-Hey, most often translated as “I AM THAT I AM.” They could just as well be translated, as, “I have been what I am what I will be.”
The bush burns with fire but is not consumed while the ground beneath reflects the image of the flames, and is holy.
From out of the top flames, the faint image of The Angel of YHWH (or, “The Angel of the LORD”) appears soft and indistinct so that no particular identity is associated with it.
