To the Israelis the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on top of the mountain.

In the greatness of your majesty you broke down your enemies. You sent forth your anger, it consumed them like stubble.

"When a fire breaks out and spreads into thorn bushes and consumes stacked grain or standing grain or the field, the one who started the fire certainly is to make restitution.

Now let me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may consume them, but I'll make a great nation of you."

Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey, but I won't go up among you, because you are an obstinate people, and otherwise I might consume you along the way."

the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flaming fire from the center of a bush. As Moses continued to watch, amazingly the bush kept on burning, but was not consumed.
