30
فَلَمّا أَتاها نودِيَ مِن شاطِئِ الوادِ الأَيمَنِ فِي البُقعَةِ المُبارَكَةِ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ أَن يا موسىٰ إِنّي أَنَا اللَّهُ رَبُّ العالَمينَ

Muhammad Asad

But when he came close to it, a call was sounded from the right-side bank of the valley, out of the tree [burning] on blessed ground:1 "O Moses! Verily, I am God, the Sustainer of all the worlds!"
  • As in 19:52 and 20:80, the reference to the "right" side has a connotation of "blessedness": see in this respect note 25 on 74:39. As regards the "blessed ground", see note 9 on the expression "twice-hallowed valley" in 20:12. The "tree" referred to in the above verse is obviously identical with the "burning bush" of the Bible (Exodus iii, 2).
