Contextual Overview
1Meanwhile, Moses was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. He led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2Then the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire within a bush. As Moses looked, he saw that the bush was on fire but was not consumed. 3So Moses thought, “I must go over and look at this remarkable sight. Why isn’t the bush burning up?” 4When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called out to him from the bush, “Moses, Moses!”5“Do not come closer,” he said. “Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” 6Then he continued, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see,.... Who is before called the Angel of the Lord, here Jehovah, the omniscient and omnipresent Being, who observing Moses turning aside and going onward to gratify his curiosity, by examining more narrowly this strange phenomenon:
God called unto him out of the midst of the bush; with an articulate voice, being the eternal Word:
and said, Moses, Moses; for the Lord knows his people distinctly, and can call them by name; and the repetition of his name not only shows familiarity and a strong vehement affection for him, but haste to stop him, that he might proceed no further; and this was done in order to stir him up to hearken to what would be said to him:
and he said, here am I; ready to hear what shall be said, and to obey whatever is commanded.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The Lord saw - The interchange of the two divine names is to be observed; âJehovahâ (Yahweh) saw, âGodâ called.
