How Does Moses Establish As An Israelite

940 Words4 Pages

Throughout Exodus, God is always there for Moses and the Israelites, even though the people seemed to have forgotten Him. He is constantly looking out for all of the Israelites and genuinely cares about them. When He first appears before Moses and orders him to go talk to the Pharaoh to free the Israelites, Moses voices his concern about speaking to the people because he is “slow of speech and tongue” and protests that God should send someone else in his place. Instead of getting angry, God kindly replies by having Moses’s brother, Aaron, assist him because He understands how Moses feels.

He later kills an Egyptian slave driver who was hurting an Israelite because Moses seems to feel obligated to protect his people from harm because he is still one of them. After he flees to Midian to avoid the Pharaoh’s anger and encounters God in the form of a burning bush, he demonstrates his determination and his persistence by devoting himself to convincing the Pharaoh to free the Israelites from slavery and leading his people towards a better future.
Despite the Pharaoh’s initial resistance to release the Israelites, Moses does not give up and his perseverance helps him get what he wants, as he eventually reaches his goal. He also is a strong leader. Even when his people complain and doubt during their journey, Moses always convinces them not to lose faith and to keep going. His constant optimism encourages the Israelites to keep moving forward. He trusts God wholeheartedly even when they are in a tough situation which proves how much he believes in Him. Moses repeatedly proves how dedicated he is to providing his people with a better

    In the Bible as in Literature, though Moses’ belief in God is inconsistent at times, his flourishing faith is able to give him strength in becoming the leader that he now is, and having the persistence and durability to save the Israelites.

    Through both the Old and New Testaments, the strongest characters with the most compelling narratives feature, such as Moses, an archetypal redemption storyline throughout their development. These redemption arcs throughout the bible demonstrate how, in order to become a good person, one does not need to be without flaw or sin. Instead, being a good person is being able to overcome and repent from one’s actions and adopt a moral lifestyle. In Exodus, Moses “[kills] and Egyptian and [hides] him in the sand”, and upon discovering that his actions were not secret, “Moses fled from [Egypt] and went to live in Midian” (Exodus 2:12, 15). Despite being an outcast from his homeland as well as a criminal, God chooses Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.
