Before we can learn from an amazing man, we first need to know where he came from. According to the book Exodus, Moses was born around 1391 BC. During this time; Hebrew’s were slaves for the Egyptians for 400 years, but the population was rising at high levels. An order by the Egyptian Pharaoh, said that all newborn Hebrew males had to be drowned in the Nile River so that no one could grow up and fight against him. As just a newborn, Moses’s life was not going to be easy one. Not only that, but his family hid him for many days. So, if you are familiar with the big hit kid’s movie called “The Prince of Egypt” you see the mother put poor baby Moses in the river to find a better way out. The sister of Moses followed and saw where he had landed. Just an act of God he landed in right in front of the Pharaoh’s daughter. The Pharaoh’s family raised him as one of their own, only for Moses to find out the truth later that he was not an Egypt but a Hebrew. He had many lessons and teaching as an Egyptian and because of that when it was time for him to return to his people, he was ready. The rest of his story is found in the book of Exodus. Now that we have put down a foundation and understanding of Moses we can now focus on what matters the most; the leadership of Moses. Moses was many things, one of which was that he was a problem solver. Just by considering his story you see that he had a problem with problem’s popping up for him. We see that Moses did have a few anger issues as you
As previously mentioned in the previous chapter regarding the life of Moses, sometime around 1446BC, he goes to discuss with the Pharaoh the release of the Israelites from slavery. The Pharaoh refuses to release the Israelites, consquently, God releases ten plagues onto Egypt to force the Pharaoh to let the Israelites leave Egypt. The ten plagues consisted of water into blood, frogs, lice, swarm of flies, diseased livestock, men and animals will break out with boils, thunderstorm of hail and fire, locusts, three days of darkness and death of all first-born son and daughters.

The leaders were not only respected by the black community, but they were respected by the white community alike. The black governors dealt out punishments and upheld laws, as well as acted as a mediator between the black communities and the white communities. Though most of those elected were still enslaved, it gave them an opportunity to speak their voice and opinions within the community, which benefited Moses greatly, as he is referred to as a “King” throughout articles.

He grew up as a son of the Pharaoh and therefore believed in the corrupt government of Egypt. However, he eventually embarked on a path of God and learned what was moral and right. As a result, he left his position in Egypt and fought to protect the enslave Israelite’s.
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.

His lack of confidence not only adds more to his incompetence as a leader, but also hinders him from gaining the faith of his people. His lack of self-confidence initially can be seen when God appoints him as the liberator of the Israelites from the Egyptians. During the conversation between Moses and God, Moses is reluctant to become the leader of the Israelites as he says, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt?” (Exodus 3:11). This statement expresses Moses’s doubts towards his ability to lead his people.
