St. Gregory really gives us a beautiful image, and this is actually one of my favorite images in the life of Moses,

Rivnese's commentary on the text. And so I'm going to dive a little more into St. Gregor of Nisa's commentary on the text. And so I'm going to dive a little

more into St. Gregor of Nisa in this particular episode. And we're going to look at what it is

that's going on in the story of the burning bush, leading all the way up to one of the strangest

stories in Scripture, the circumcision of Moses' son by the hand of Zipporah's God is coming

to kill someone, either Moses or Moses' son in his tent. And so I think I have a little bit of
