Moses was one of the greatest prophets ever known for. Moses was born in Egypt; his parents were Amram & Jochebed. According to Exodus Moses was born around the month of February or March. Moses was the son of Aram and Jochebed of the tribe of Levi. Miriam and Aaron were his brother and sister. He was born in Egypt during the period in which the Israelites were slaves. Hebrews had become a problem to the Egyptians because of their population. The Pharaoh of Egypt had ordered that all newborn male Hebrew children be drowned in the Nile River so that no one could grow up and fight against him. (Exodus. 1:22).
Aram and Jochebed already had two children, Aaron, three years old, and Miriam, about seven. Jochebed hid him in a basket along the bank of the Nile. The pharaoh’s daughter found Moses and she decided to return Moses to the family. Moses’ calling from God was to set the Israelites free from slavery. That was how Moses became a prophet, when he heard God’s calling. God told Moses to ask the king of Egypt to free the Israelites from slavery. Exodus 5:1–9. The king of Egypt refused to free

Many miracles happened along the way. When the Israelites stopped in front of the Red Sea with the Egyptian soldiers behind them, it was God that parted the Red Sea so that they could cross. Once they had safely crossed, the sea crashed down, drowning many of the Egyptian soldiers. When food ran out, God sent down what was called “manna,” type bread that tasted like honey, every day for food for the Israelites. When the people were in need of water, God told Moses to hit a rock and water came out of the rock. The Israelites traveled for about two months till they came upon Mount Saini. Moses was on Mt. Saini for a long time. The Israelites eventually lost their patience. The Israelites did not want to worship God anymore instead they wanted to worship a golden calf they
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 Pharaoh finally consents to the Israelites leaving Egypt allowing Moses to organize the Israelites and begin their 40 year journey back to Canaan, but the Pharaoh commands a group of his soldiers to chase after and kill all of the Israelites. Moses sees the approaching Egyptian army and with Gods assistance parts the Red Sea, leads the Israelites through the divided water, then after the Israelites are safe from
But Moses parents decide to move back to Sylmar, because they felt more confident that he would do better. In his free time Moses’ would work out or ride his bike to get out of trouble. He would listen to heavy rock and rap to motivate him to do well and make him forget the horrible things about his life. In addition, in the future wanted to study the medical field as a nurse, so he could get paid a
Moses Montrose was born on April 30th, 1741. He was the son of Montrose and Phillis, both of them being slaves. As stated in “David Naughty Will,” David states that all children of Phillis and Montrose would be free. However, following David’s death, Ruth states that in her will, only Montrose and Phillis would be free, but not their children,
Moses went to the mountain to speak with God to get instructions from Him, but the Israelites sinned against God before Moses came down from the mountain. The Lord was greatly angered. And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, up make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. Exo32v1
In the story of Moses, the pharaoh of Egypt was seeing a problem with the rising population of the Hebrews which were slaves. He ordered that every first-born male child be immediately killed. Moses' mother loved her child and saw that the only way for Moses to survive was to put him in a basket and let him float down the Nile River. She could only hope that someone would take care of him and raise him. It so happened that the pharaoh's daughter found the little boy in the basket in the river.
He was the 7th child of 13 children. His dad Moses also known as “Cap” he owned 80-acres of farmland. His dad used his farmland to grow many foods like corn, cotton, and many other foods. Moses was as strong old man and an independent patriarch. He refused to be treated as a second-class status by the whites that lived in the south.
Moses eventually freed these people and guided them along a path to the promise land. The Exodus event with Moses is very
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.
(Exodus 3-4) Dealing with his pride, he went from privilege to poverty, to trailing about the dessert with grumbling people who took a long time to learn the lessons God was trying to teach them: humility, submission, and to be humble in the presence of the Lord. One of Moses’s major trials seems to have been the difference between what he thought his assets were, and what God thought his assets were. When he finally obeyed and fulfilled God’s will for him, Moses then had to bring law to the Israelites, and ultimately all Christians, while doing his best to keep them focused on the many blessings God had granted them. Moses brought the new covenant to the people.
They forbed the Israelites from praying to God. God was not happy about how his people were being mistreated, so assigned Moses to demand that the Pharaoh let his people go.
At that time it was unheard of for any kingdom to allow Greek cultures to be performed in the East. 1. Read Documents 7 and 8 (from The Book of Exodus and The Book of Isaiah). What can we learn about Moses relationship between God and the Hebrews? How does the story told here create a sense of purpose and the and identity for the Hebrews?
As a punishment for acting in distrust, just as those who did not wish to enter the Promise Land, he too was told that he would not enter “The LAnd of Milk and Honey”. This is the fall of Moses. To end this section of chapter 20, Moses continues to tell us, “These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the Lord and where he was proved holy among them.” (Numbers 20:13) Here again we are exposed to God’s true nature, his power,
He overly relies on God to solve every problem he encounters, not believing himself to be able to solve them. His lack of drive and overdependence on God causes problems to arise again and again. The Israelites’ disobedience of God’s commands and their constant complaints about their conditions in their wilderness are such examples of Moses’s incompetence when it comes to exerting control over the Israelites. Although Moses is the one that leads them out of Egypt, he does not gain the hearts of the
But Moses feels unworthy and is reluctant to be God's spokesperson. In Exodus 3:13-18, God gives Moses two names - first, He is the God of the Patriarchs, Abraham,
Around 1300 BCE, the Jews were slaves in Egypt, and their leader was the prophet Moses. Then God guided them through this trouble and Moses lead them out of slavery and to the Holy land of Canaan. God gave another covenant when the Jewish people reached Mount Sinai, reinforcing the covenant that God had given to Abraham. God promised again that the Jewish people are his chosen people, and will never give up on them. God told the Jews that they must pledge to serve God forever and obey his rules to make the world a better and holier place.
