and please don't tell me about weed because they don't grow as bushes-unless it is a tumbleing weed-and if you saw one of them on fire come rolling at you you would run!

YippyYahQQ,
I looked up the Hebrew word for 'bush' used in Exodus 3:2. The word there is pronounced sen eh'.
There is a Senna which is a comman name for the latin: Cassia acutifolia. It is used in herbal applications for teas and has other medicinal value. It is in bean family and has bright yellow blooms.
This is really interesting, the plant is native to Egypt, Arabia, Nubia, and Sennar. So it could have been that bush!
I've worked with a few senna in my time, they are woody, and deciduous.
Since Moses was not in Israel when he encountered the burning bush, rather he was somewhere around Egypt, I thik that it was very likely that it was a senna that he encountered.

The herb Dictamnus albus, also known as false dittany, white dittany, or gas plant, belonging to the family Rutaceae. It gets its name from comparison to the Bible account; the whole plant produces aromatic oils that can catch fire readily on hot days, though (unlike the plant in the biblical account) not without injury to the plant.

It was probably marajuana, considering how it affected Moses' mind.

You must be into gardening or something. Who cares....that tale was all baloney anyway.
