According to the book of Exodus, a prophet encounters God through a burning bush and is instructed to do something specific to show reverence. What action does God command the prophet to take?

Correct Answer

C) Remove his sandals

In Exodus 3, Moses encounters God through the burning bush at Mount Horeb. God calls out to Moses and says, "Do not come any closer. Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground" (Exodus 3:5).

This account highlights the profound reverence required when coming into God's holy presence. By instructing Moses to remove his sandals, God was emphasizing the sacred nature of that space and the need for Moses to approach with humility and respect.
