Burning bush. the bush was on fire, but was not consumed by the flames.

In the bible narrative, the burning bush is the location at which Moses was appointed God

An Asherah pole is a sacred tree or pole that stood near Canaanite religious locations to honor the mother goddess Asherah

Asherah is one of the oldest deities in the Sumerian and Ugaritic pantheon.

To the Hittites this goddess appears as Asherdu(s) or Asertu(s), the consort of Elkunirsa ("El the Creator of Earth") and mother of either 77 or 88 sons.

2 Kings 23:14 14Josiah smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles

Deuteronomy 16:21 
“You shall not plant any tree as an Asherah beside the altar of the Lord your God that you shall make.

Asherah worship was Connecting with the tree.

2 Kings 23:1-37
those also who burned incense to Baal to the sun and the moon and the constellations and all the host of the heavens

2 Kings 21:3
and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.

Jeremiah 17:2

While their children remember their altars and their Asherim, [b]beside every green tree [/b]and on the high hills,

Jeremiah 44:25

Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: You and your wives have declared with your mouths, and have fulfilled it with your hands, saying, ‘We will surely perform our vows that we have made, [b]to make offerings to the queen of heaven[/b] and to pour out drink offerings to her.’ Then confirm your vows and perform your vows!
