What does the Bible say about Moses' fear in Exodus 3?

Answered in 1 source

Moses was afraid to look upon God when He revealed Himself at the burning bush, indicating a deep sense of reverence and humility before divine glory.

In Exodus 3, Moses encountered the angel of the Lord in a burning bush that was not consumed, leading him to hide his face because he was afraid to look upon God. This fear is not merely a terror of impending danger but represents a profound reverence for God's holiness and majesty. Throughout scripture, when individuals encounter God, a common response is fear or awe due to the stark contrast between human frailty and divine holiness, as seen in the experiences of Isaiah, Ezekiel, and others who fell before God's glory.
