Textually established
The narrator reports that the LORD saw Moses turn aside and that God called to him out of the bush, addressing him by name.
Not established by grammar alone
That the reported speech historically occurred is not established by the grammar of the report. Establishing it would require evidence independent of the narration itself.
The same narrative attributes the appearance to the angel of the LORD two verses earlier, which is the subject of a separate contradiction record.
This is a literary distinction between narration and independently established occurrence. It is not an argument that the reported event did not occur, and not an argument that it did.
