S – “Do not come closer,” he said. “Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground
Exodu 3:5 CSB
O – Commentary:
The soil around the bush was holy ground, while the soil on the bottom of Moses’ sandals was common. The common cannot touch the holy without being transformed or destroyed (see “Clean and Unclean” at Lev 11:1–15:33, p. 213). At the outset of the Exodus, God was making it plain that he is absolutely “other” than his creation, a reality that cannot be overlooked in a proper divine-human relationship. The word holy occurs only a few times in the Bible prior to 3:5. It now becomes the central descriptor of God in the OT
