Moses Journey

There must be a strange feeling Moses experiences and I’m sure he probably did feel inadequate to this great task. Many of us would have questioned God in his choice. Look at “Moses as he says that, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. Does this sound like something you may of been through, I have and I’m sure you may of you felt the same way also? Moses is like many of us, caught in our feelings and emotions and leaning on them in a critical time in our life.

When Moses and the Israelites came to the land of Canaan, twelve spies were sent in to explore. They came back and reported that the land was bountiful, but the Canaanites had a mighty army that could crush the Israelites. Soon, the bad report spread through the nation of Israel and the people rebelled. They cried to God, asking why He would lead them so far, only to let them die by the Canaanite sword.

Ramses the Pharaoh wouldn’t let the Israelites out of Egypt, so Moses stepped in and led the Israelites out of Egypt, which we know as the Exodus. If I were an Israelite, I would join Moses out of Egypt. I would do this because being a slave would mean being tortured. Moreover, Moses had powers from God, so it was save to be with him. He had the Ten Commandments, so people would know how to live their daily lives.

Moses helped the Hebrews a lot. With the many things he did, he got them out of Egypt. In my perspective, if I was a Hebrew slave, I would follow Moses out of Egypt. I would follow Moses out of Egypt because the Hebrews were slaves. Moses had the power of God, along with the Ten Commandments. I would want to avoid the plagues.

It has been reported by many of Pharoahs staff that Moses and his brother Aaron repeatedly came before Pharaoh and demanded to let their people go free. These demands were refused.

As Moses grows he becomes aware of his lineage and takes notice to how oppressed his people are in Egypt. While leading a flock out on the side of a mountain the angel of Jehovah appears in a flame and a bush begins to burn. The bush does not erupt into ash and Moses is awestruck. God calls to Moses and begins to relay him his destiny. God says “I have surely seen the affliction of my people that are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows, and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians… and unto a land flowing with milk and honey”

Moses listens to God and goes on a journey as an epic hero in order to free the people. God then sends ten plagues so the pharaoh will let the people go. After the tenth plague the Pharaoh finally frees the people, but immediately changes his mind and runs after Moses and his followers. Moses then splits the Red Sea with his staff and all the Israelites evade and the Pharaoh and all his men drown in the sea. Furthermore after freeing the people and crossing the Red Sea Moses receives the Ten Commandments on the top of Mount Sian from God.

Moses: Unlike Jesus, I mostly direct my scriptures towards my follower but sometimes I say things that could be depicted to all of mankind. Majority of my stories are in the bible but it seems that there are a couple missing. Whether that was by accident or because it didn’t follow some of your ideas I don’t know.

Moses’ sister Miriam came out and asked Pharaoh’s daughter if she would want a Hebrew woman to raise the child and Pharaoh’s daughter agreed. She gave Moses to Miriam, who took him to Jochebed. Pharaoh’s daughter later got him back and gave him the name Moses. He grew up as a prince with respect and royalty. He would deliver his people from pharaoh but didn’t understand it. God made him a ruler over them but they still rejected him, the same way Jesus was rejected. Moses and Jesus can be compared as they share some similarities. They were both favored by God and were rejected. Pharaoh sought to kill Moses because he had killed an Egyptian soldier, so he fled to a land called Midian because he would have find refuge there. One day, Moses sat by a well, he saw some women, getting water. The owner of the land came and told them to leave but Moses stood up for them and watered the flock. They told their father and he was brought into the family. The father sat him and he ate with them, later he gave his daughter Zipporah to him. She, later gave him a son. The Israelites cried out to God because they wanted to be free. One day Moses led his flock up a mountain,

Moses: Moses was born in a time when his people, the Israelites, an enslaved minority, were increasing in numbers and the Egyptian Pharaoh was worried that they might ally with Egypt's enemies. God sent Moses back to Egypt to demand the release of the Israelites from slavery. Moses said that he could not speak with assurance or eloquence, so God allowed Aaron, his brother, to become his spokesperson. After the Ten Plagues, Moses led the Exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt and across the Red Sea, after which they based themselves at Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments

The struggle and obstacles that Jewish people had to endure, made their sense of community and religion even stronger. One of the largest struggles the Jew’s faced was the enslavement. They were enslaved in Egypt. Moses rescued them after his forty-five-year punishment in the Sinai Desert. He was given by God himself, the 10 commandments he was to share with them and free them from slavery. If Moses, was never enslaved, the God of Abraham would have never been able to give him the Ten Commandments, which are the laws that are basic to Jewish life. Another obstacle that the Jew’s had to overcome, was the destruction of Judah by the Neo-Babylonian Empire. It was one of the worst things to happen to the Jewish community. The city of Jerusalem

Moses helped lead the Israelite out of Egypt from slavery. He divided the waters so they can

Moses was a humble man, but God sees that he is mightier than Moses sees himself. When God tells him that he must lead the Jews out of Egypt, he grows fearful and unworthy of such a task. Moses humility toward God is what makes him capable of such a tremendous mission. Although, he would have much rather not lead the Jews out of Egypt because he is afraid and does not have faith in himself, however, he is able to do it because God has told him to and God would not ask him to do so if it was impossible. Moses successfully leads the Hebrews out of Egypt. Moses was capable of freeing the Jews of slavery with a quality of humility (No Title, 1986).

Moses challenges the Pharaoh after God tells Moses to demand his people's freedom, “How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, that they may serve Me. Or else, if you refuse to let My people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your territory” (Exodus, New King James, 10:3–4). Moses then frees the people of Israel as God commanded and Moses becomes the representative of god, allowing the people to understand and believe in Gods words “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today …

Moses is portrayed as evil because he killed many soldiers in the Egyptian army and put Egyptian civilians lives in jeopardy after turning their main water source to
