The Pillar of fire and the fiery chariots of the Bible may have been the same thing seen glowing in the sky but described at different times. They both seem to have the power of movement, glowed at night,[1] and had someone inside who could be physically transported in them.

Moses was a shepherd of the flock of Jethro a priest[2] of Midian.
He saw what looked like a burning bush but it did not consume so he went to see it up-close turning from what he was doing. This light on the desert which he saw as a burning bush at first he had no other words to describe. He talked to a voice coming from this "burning bush". It was the LORD which appeared unto him inside this "burning bush".
V5 "Draw not nigh hither" is the Hebrew KufReishBeit[3] is tiqraḇ TavKufReishBeit תִּקְרַ֣ב[3] which is a clear statement to not enter into the "burning bush". And He is told to remove his shoes "for the place[4] whereon thou". Between "standest"[5] and "is holy[6] ground"[7] we see an untranslated עָלָ֔יו alaw AyinLamedYodVav instead of the more common preposition AyinLamed[8].
I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
He has chosen this time to deliver them out of bondage and they will take a spoil.
What is his name? I AM THAT I AM
The Hebrew Biblical for these translations is the word of “YHWH,” revealed to Moses in the book of Exodus chaper 3 is a name consisting of the sequence of consonants Yod, Hey, Vav, and Hey, and is known as the tetragrammaton.
What does worship mean?
How do they serve God?
“And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.” 1 Samuel 8:18
2 Corinthians 6:17 “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you,”
V10, 11, 12 all repeat "out of Egypt". 12V "ye shall serve[9] God upon this mountain.[10]"
V16 the terms "gather the elders of Israel together"[11] in not the root word AlefSemechPei but includes the idea of setting apart and faith VavAlefSemechPeiTav. Even the word telling Moses to "say"[12] but is not just the root word AlefMemReish also includes the additional Tav and Vav and appears as VavAlefMemReishTav.
V17 Brought "out of the affliction[13] of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites[14]. See Merchants of men.
V18 The phrase "we may sacrifice"[15] is not the root word ZayinBeitChet but is the Hebrew word wənizbəḥāh consisting of the additional letters VavNunZayinBeitChetHey.
V22 The word translated "borrow" appears with these Hebrew letters VavShinAlefLamedHey only once in the Bible and can mean to ask, enquire, desire, or even require or demand.[16]

The Burning Bush

1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place[4] whereon thou standest[5] is holy[6] ground[7].

6 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.

Heard their cries

7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction[13]of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters[17]; for I know their sorrows;

8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.

The name

13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

Gather elders

16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together[11], and say[12] unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:

17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction[13] of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

18 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel , unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.

He will not let you go

19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.

20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.

Take a spoil

21 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:

22 But every woman shall borrow[16] of her neighbour[18], and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
