515 Words3 Pages

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.

God approaches Moses, when he is in need, pleading for Moses to advise the Israelites into safety, unfortunately Moses is first low in determination for himself.

At the final exit to freedom, Moses is at a dead-end, and only one man has the ability to help Moses split the waters, solely God himself. …show more content…

God then agrees to assist Moses on his journey, by teaching him everything that he needs to know. Without this assertive personality of God, Moses would never make it out of town. Once Moses, along with God and Aaron at his side, finally make it to Egypt, the Pharoah refuses to let the people go. With the Pharaoh protesting all exemptions of the Israelites, God tells Moses, “...take your rod and stretch over the waters of Egypt...that they may become blood…” This brings forth the first plague sent to the Israelites.
