[Avodah] burning bush

[Danny Schoemann]

R' Eli Turkel  asked:

If someone were near Moshe when he came to the burning burn:
1. Would he also have seen it was burning but not consumed
2. Would he have heard G-d talking to Moshe Rabbenu rl would
have thought Moshe is talking to a bush

The Torah Shleimah (Shmos 3:2:[29]) says that we learn from "Eilav"
that only Moshe saw it. (Shmos Rabo 2:8) and that there were lots of
other shepherds with him at the time.

[66] When he realised that they didn't see it, he understood it was
for him only.

When hashem spoke "Eilav" it was only for Moshe - as we learn from the
Mishkan. Moshe heard it loud and clear, nobody else heard anything.

(So I guess they would have seen Moshe talking to a bush.)
