Burning Bush Or Tree?
Al-Qasas – 28:30
Arabic
فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِىَ مِن شَٰطِئِ ٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡأَيۡمَنِ فِى ٱلۡبُقۡعَةِ ٱلۡمُبَٰرَكَةِ مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ أَن يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
I have heard from Jewish sources that there was a burning bush not a tree. Is this a contradiction between the two sources?

Exodus 3
New International Version
Moses and the Burning Bush
3 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro(A) his father-in-law, the priest of Midian,(B) and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb,(C) the mountain(D) of God. 2 There the angel of the Lord(E) appeared to him in flames of fire(F) from within a bush.(G) Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”

The Hebrew word is הסנה which means the bush

according to this website شجرة can also mean bush:

Well it says شجر can mean bush. Does شجرة make a difference?

According to lanes lexicon دق الشجر is used to refer to bush or shrub.

That could a bush like tree.

But why is such an ambiguous word used? Something like كمن or دفع could be used. Doesn’t this mean that we have to rely on the Torah for some meanings of the Quran? Then how is the Quran the muhaymin?

Well the word is شجرة still

If they contradict Quran will prevail. Torah is translation but Quran is the word of God preserved
