Yes, the Prophetic writings and Wisdom literature kept alive a different understanding, that of Gods aliveness and the opening up of Creation from the Holy Place of the Temple, faced with the notions of morality and racial purity which appeared as the exiles return from Babylon to Jerusalem. The bush that burns but is to consumed is an appropriate symbol for I AM, the protagonist that is not in revelry with anything that is and which brings everything into being.
