Description: Moses is presented as an incomplete, reluctant, and repeatedly objecting rescuer, and this imperfection is deliberately contrasted with the divine rescuer; the pre-incarnate Christ appearing as the angel of the Lord in the burning bush; so that when imperfect but faithful leaders point us to the perfect gospel, we are to bow and worship.
