§ 14 Exod. 3. v, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. And Moses came to the Mountain of God to Horeb. And the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the middest of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned. And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the middest of the bush, and said Moses, Moses, and he said here am I. And he said, draw not nigh ⟨p. 119⟩hither; put off thy shoes from thy feet for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Moreover he said, I am the God of thy Father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. And herein also have we expressed another glorious appearance of the Son of God. He who is here revealed, is called Jehovah, v. 4. And he affirms of himself, that he is the God of Abraham, v. 6. who also describes himself by the glorious Name of I AM, that I AM; v. 14. in whose Name and Authority Moses dealt with Pharaoh in the deliverance of the People, and whom they were to serve on that Mountain upon their coming out of Egypt. He whose [Greek or Hebrew], or merciful good-will, Moses prays for, Deut. 33. v. 16. And yet he is expressly called an Angel, v. 2. namely, the Angel of the Covenant, the great Angel of the Presence of God, in whom was the Name and Nature of God; and he thus appeared, that the Church might know and consider who it was, that was to work out their spiritual and eternal salvation, whereof that deliverance which then he would affect was a Type and Pledge. Aben Ezra would have the Angel mentioned, v. 2. to be another from him who is called the Lord God, v. 6. But the Text will not give countenance unto any such distinction, but speaks of one and the same person throughout without any alteration; and this was no other but the Son of God.
