Exodus 3:2 - Burning Snow
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2018 4:49 pm
Moses was in Egypt in Exodus 1-2 and he somehow ended up in the Sinai Peninsula and he encountered a 'Burning Bush' upon this Mountain
but my study suggest there was no Bush or even fire.
The word אש is a poetic word for Ice/Snow and is used throughout the Hebrew scriptures.
Exodus 9:23 - LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire
Exodus 9:24 - So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail
Genesis 19:24 - brimstone and fire
Ezekiel 38:22 - hailstones, fire, and brimstone
Psalms 18:13 - hail stones and coals of fire
Isaiah 30:33 - stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
ככפר = גפרית " hoarfrost"
-hoary frost of heaven ( Job 38:29)
-κρύος, κρύσταλλος
Job 6:15-7
My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away
Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid
What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place
The word Bush is סנה (Cenah), this is another word for סיני (Cinai) , שניר (Shenir) and שיאן (Sion)
from χεῖμα (Cheim) or χιόνα (Chion) "Snow".
Exodus 3:2
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of the Snow: and he looked and behold, the snow burned with fire and the snow was not consumed, Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the snow not burnt.
Exodus 4:6 - Moses dipped his hand into his Bosom and his hand was leprous as Snow and a similar scene occurs in
Numbers 12:1 - a Cloud departed... Miriam became leprous, white as snow.
Burning snow rejuvenates the rivers in the Levant. * one of them turns Red.
Moses said in 3:2 "Why the Snow not melted" and so Moses is tasked with melting it through sacrifice.
