The Moses Had On The Jewish Religion

God calls Moses to be the Israelites deliverer. This is a man who ran from Egypt because he killed an Egyptian and was content to spend his life as a shepherd. But God had different plans for Moses because the Lord uses the most imperfect people and empowers them to do his will. The Lord met with Moses and called him to deliver his people but Moses wanted to argue with God because Moses did not believe he was the right choice. Moses argued he was not the best choice because

“There is at least a four-hundred-year gap between the last chapter of Genesis and the first chapter of Exodus” (Thronveit and Gaiser). The Egyptian Bondage and Exodus story of the Old Testament centers mostly around a man named Moses. The story is divided into three major parts that each span over a 40 year period. The first 40 years focuses on Moses’s upbringing (Acts 7:23). He was raised like a prince and lived his early life around the royalty of Egypt.

Before he returned, God gave him powers which proved the Jews that Moses had been appointed by God. The pharaoh refused to release the slaves. So God sent ten plagues over Egypt. Moses told the pharaoh what will happen, but instead of agreeing, the pharaoh rejected and made the slaves work even harder. The ten plagues were: 1. The water of the Nile River turned into blood. 2. Lots of frogs swarmed the Nile River. 3. Every dust turned into bugs. 4. Hordes of wild animals rushed Egypt, the animals wrecked everything in their path. 5. Live stocks were cursed with deadly diseases. 6. Boils over Egypt. 7. Thunderstorms of hails dropped from the sky. 8. Locusts covered Egyptian sky and ground. 9. Egypt had three totally dark days with absolutely no light. 10. All the Egyptian firstborns were killed. The plagues climaxed during the murdering of sons of Egyptians. The pharaoh finally let the Jews leave after his own son got killed because of the last

This is the core reason that he ordered all male children under the age of 2 to be slaughtered. This characterization is biblically accurate. The characterization of Miriam, Moses’ sister, is accurate as well. Miriam stayed near the river to keep watch over the basket that held her baby brother both in the Bible story and in the movie. In both stories, it is she who speaks up and offers to find a nurse for the baby. This was a clever way for Moses’ mother to speak truth over him as he grew before he went to live with the royal family.

Only twelve men amongst the people had actually seen the land or its army. Yet, the Israelites were willing to return to slavery in Egypt rather than claim their Promised Land at the risk of an unknown future they believed could end in death. God had shown up in their lives so many times and in such miraculous ways. They knew without question

In Exodus 2:5, the Pharaoh’s daughter disregards the order to kill the baby boys and rescues a baby from the reeds of the Nile. Recognizing he was Hebrew, she decides to raise him as her own, allowing a Hebrew woman to be his wet-nurse by the suggestion of a young Hebrew girl (not knowing they were the baby’s mother and sister). This baby later becomes known as Moses who eventually leads the Israelites to their freedom. In conclusion, the bible demonstrates how the people did not respect the Pharaoh as a leader of the Egyptian kingdom. Raveh (2013) explains:

I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.” Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ “This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation. “Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to

To begin with, one reason I would follow Moses out of Egypt is because the Hebrews were slaves. For instance, the Hebrews were oppressed. According to Document 2, it tells us that Moses saw a Hebrew slave being mistreated. This means that the slaves were mistreated while being in Egypt. Document 2 supports my reason because it tells us that an innocent slave was being wronged.

In Exodus, there was never any signs of doubt and God’s plan for justice was always consistent. Because of this, Moses’ purpose did not waver during the negotiations with Pharaoh, preventing him from understanding Pharaoh’s perspective. Moses followed the orders of God and obeyed his every command, never doubting him for a second (Exodus 3:12). He believed that if anyone was going to pull him and his people out of exile, it would be God. The idea of following God and His love was so simple to Moses, that he completely ignored occurrences that any person today would have fled from.

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.

In the spring of the year both Jesus and John the future Baptist, cousins (cousins, not brothers), had reached the age of seven. The boys wandered far from Nazareth and along the Jordan River just south of the big lake, they decided to play ‘Let My People Go’ featuring Moses and Pharaoh. Little Johnnie the Baptist as Moses, cried out in a loud, raspy voice, “Let my people go!” spraying spit as he spoke. And Jesus, as hard-hearted Pharaoh, replied in a harsh voice, “You mangy dogs, you slaves! No, no, no! Pharaoh has spoken, so let it be done.”

Most likely, Moses was exposed to the gods and idols of Egypt. The Pharaoh thought himself to be a god. However, Moses evidently grew up knowing he was born a Hebrew. The Bible

In order to save her child’s life, Moses’ mother had his father sail him down the Nile in a papyrus basket – an almost unthinkable sacrifice for a loving mother to make. As Moses floated down the river, Pharaoh’s daughter discovered him. Seeing the beauty of the child and being moved by his cries, she decided to adopt him. Before this boy was old enough to develop a working memory, God’s hand was visible in his life. Not only did this baby defy the odds and survive his birth, but he also had the fortune to avoid the obvious dangers of a baby floating down a river in a handmade basket, and he just happened to come across Pharaoh’s daughter.

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 was born in Egypt to Amram and Yochebed. He came about in this world in a period where the Israelites were a threat to the Egyptians. The Pharaoh of the Egyptians ordered that the first born sons of the Israelites were to be killed. One of these first born was Moses, and the parents put him in a basket to float him down a river. Moses drifted down to some noble women. The women did not know he was a firstborn of the Israelites, so they took him on as one of their own. Moses grew up part of the Pharaoh's family. As he was growing up, he knew the right from the wrong, he was taught to treat people with respect. Also when he grew up he saw the Israelites get abused. He tried to stop that but could not. Moses left because he did not want
