Odysseus's voyage had to be completed before saving his people, while Moses' exodus and his people's salvation were simultaneous. In either case, the journey is vital to the hero in order for him to undergo a personal transformation into the legendary hero they became. Moses fought a Pharaoh, the desert, his own people, and himself during his long journey to the Promised Land. Odysseus also had a long journey home and while

would fulfill his part of the covenant, God would provide Abraham with the lands of Canaan. Abraham must have faith in God throughout his journey because the God he speaks to asks him to leave his lands and kinsfolk to go to a promised land that Moses has never seen nor heard much about.

In the book of Exodus, Moses had left his home under the Egyptian monarchy and fled to Midian after learning of his Jewish ancestry, but when God had spoken to him to free his people, he took the responsibility, despite his own fears. At first, Moses believed that he was not worthy

Moses When Moses (Musa) returned from Mount Sinai to the company of the pharaoh, he battled with all the magis under pharaoh’s command. The rod and staff are symbols of that might and power.

“And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice. Then the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain.

MOSES AND THE TEN PLAGUES In the story of Moses and the Ten Plagues which stretches from Exodus 7-12, God begins with pure lies. First, God says to Moses and the elders of Israel to say to the king of Egypt, “The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us and now let us go, we beseech you, three days’ journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God” (3:18).
