God appears to Moses in a burning bush. Moses sees a bush which burns without being consumed - a symbol of the presence of God which defies usual human experience of things. And he hears a voice which calls him by his own name (Exodus 3:4)

The story of Moses contains material from the Elohist and Priestly sources, who described a God whose face we could never look at, as well as material from the Yahwist source, who descibed an anthropomorphic God with human characteristics. So the story changes from time to time, with God revealing himself in the burning bush, to Moses meeting and talking to God face to face, although in one case Moses is described to leave the meeting with his own face so bright that others could not look on it.

What did Moses receive from god during the Israelite's wanderings in the Sinai desert?

The Torah, in the book of Exodus, recounts a story of an encounter with God on Mount Sinai, where God gave Moses the 2 stone tablets on which were engraved the 10 commandments -- twice because Moses threw down and broke the first set when he came down from the mountain and found the Israelites engaging in idolatrous behavior. Jewish tradition holds that God dictated the entire Torah to Moses on the mountain top, and in addition, later Jewish tradition holds that God explained the Torah to Moses, and that Moses passed on this explanation, starting an oral tradition that continues to this day.
