Where did God appear to Moses out of the burning bush?

• A. In Egypt
• B. In the desert near Mount Horeb
• C. On Mount Sinai
• D. At the Jordan River

Answer: (B)

God appeared to Moses in the desert near Mount Horeb, the place the Bible calls the mountain of God. Moses was tending his flock there when he saw a bush that burned with fire yet was not consumed. From that bush, God spoke to him, calling his name and giving Moses his mission. Because the ground around the burning bush was holy, Moses was told to take off his sandals. This encounter, described in Exodus 3:1–6, anchors the location as the desert near Horeb (a name often linked with Sinai), rather than in Egypt or at another river location.
