Theophany at the burning bush. Raising the dead daughter, healing the woman with the issue of blood.

Some passages referenced:

Deuteronomy 33:16 (reference to the burning bush); Numbers 12:3 (Moses' humility); Genesis 32:30, Judges 13:6, 17-19 (other requests for the divine name); Joseph's prophecy (Genesis 50:24); Genesis 22 (sacrificing at three days' journey).

Numbers 15:37-41 (tassels of the garment); Matthew 11:16-17 (not dancing at the flutes).

Reflections upon the readings from the ACNA Book of Common Prayer (http://bcp2019.anglicanchurch.net/).
