And the messenger of Jehovah will be seen to him in a flame of fire from the midst of the bramble; and he will see, and behold, the bramble burning in fire, and the bramble was not consumed.

Footnotes
| Exo. 3:2 | ืืื ื ื (einenu) is a word that specifically refers to non-existence or absence rather than negating a verb. It is used to mean "he is not" or "it is not," and primarily conveys the idea of something not existing or being absent, rather than negating an action. The word ืืื ื ื (inenu) is a negation/counterpart of the verb ืืื (to be), meaning "is not" or "does not exist." This construct occurs 47 times. It is used to express the absence or non-existence of something or someone, often indicating temporal or spatial absence. Commonly found in contexts describing the disappearance or non-presence of a subject or entity, ืืื ื ื negates the presence or state of being of the subject. For example, in Gen. 5:24, "And Enoch walked with God, and he is not (ืืื ื ื) because God took him," ืืื ื ื emphasizes Enoch's departure. Similarly, in Gen. 31:2, it indicates Laban's absence: "And Jacob saw the face of Laban, and behold, he is not (ืืื ื ื) with him." The term appears frequently in the Hebrew Bible to signify the absence or non-existence of persons, actions, or conditions in a given time or space. The literal translation of ืืื ื ื ืืื therefore would be "there is no eating" or "eating is not happening," which emphasizes the absence of the action of eating, rather than focusing on the subject of the action.
|
| Exo. 3:2 | To say "he is not eaten" in Hebrew, you use the passive form of the verb ืืื (to eat). The correct construction would be: ืืื ื ื ื ืืื. That is not used here. ืืื here has been "interpreted" via "vowel points" as a "Qal Passive participle" which properly would be ืืืื and thus is not quite accurate, or by others as a Pual ืืื which is the passive form of the Piel which would imply "he who is caused to eat" or "he who is fed," the Piel being "he caused to eat" or "he fed." |
