Moses: Leader of God's People from Slavery to Freedom

Moses And Exodus
I am going to be talking about Moses and the law it was written in the book of exodus. Moses was
born a Hebrew in Egypt. Hebrews we're an Israelite slave in Egypt at the time when Moses was born
Hebrews started to expand so large that the Egyptians started getting terrified and saying what if the
Hebrews outgrow us? If they outgrow us that means the Hebrew will out number the Egyptians so
therefore if the Hebrews wanted to take over they will be able to because they outnumber the
Egyptians. Pharaoh came up with this idea If he killed all Hebrew baby boys at birth he wouldn't
have to worry about that problem so Pharaoh ordered that all Hebrew baby boys are to be put to
death at birth.
Moses mother had been hiding him for three months she was afraid of keeping him any longer The
reason they hid him for just three months was, because during that period he was able to remain a bit
more silent and discreet, and wasn't very conspicuous to people outside of his home; but as he grew
older, this quickly changed and something had to be done. Not knowing what else to do because the

time there was many gods that people believed in but god wouldn't give his name and said 'I will be
who I will be'. Moses went back to Egypt to ask Pharaoh to let the Hebrews free but pharaoh said no

The Characters Of Moses In The Old Testament
The Old Testament in the bible is a very outstanding it has different amounts of books that
compromise the Old Testament differences between Christian Churches as well as the names
throughout the bible. It has 39 marvelous books in the bible, that tell different stories about
important people and how they change the world that we live in today. If I had to pick on a character
I would have to pick Moses. Moses, he is a character in the Old Testament and a prophet that was
picked to lead Israel out of Egyptian slavery, and delivered the Ten Commandments. Moses was
born 1400 BC in New Kingdom of Egypt, he is the son of Amram and Yochebed, and had siblings
named Miriam and Aaron. Moses had a lot of strengths in the Old Testament he guided people to
battle against Egypt, he defended slaves, and fought the men who harmed the women. His weakness
would have to be he was a very weak speaker and struggles with anger weakness. In Exodus 2:11
says "One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched
them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people." In Hebrews
11:24 says, "By faith Moses when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's
daughter." However, the forty years of Moses's life he had a mother figured that was a princess for
the Egyptians. She took Moses in and made him realize that he was becoming a man, she had very
emotional problems for being his birth mother. Later on, he started to

Plato, Aristotle, and Moses Essay
"Households, cities, countries, and nations have enjoyed great happiness when a single individual
has taken heed of the Good and Beautiful. Such people not only liberate themselves; they fill those
they meet with a free mind." Philo of Alexandria
Athens, via Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, and Jerusalem through the Hebrew Scriptures, refer to two
general and fundamental ways of life: the life of free inquiry on the one hand, the life of obedience
to God's law on the other. As discussed in class, the fact that most do not read the Hebrew Scriptures
as a politically philosophical text, they are overlooking some fundamental political principles that
are similar and complimentary to the Greeks.

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.'"
The transformation that Moses undergoes, having seen "the face of God" at the burning bush is
similar to Plato's "Analogy of the Cave". He emerges with a mission, a calling that is to consume his
life; leading the people to truth and justice. Bringing them forth from the darkness of Egypt into the
light of Canaan. Like the man who returns to the cave having seen the light, Moses' trustablitiy is
doubted many times. Moses was rejected by "his people" many times. First, by the Hebrews as he
attempted to help them by killing the overseer, sending him into exile. Secondly, by the Egyptians
for siding with the slaves. Thirdly, by the Israelites during his attempt to lead them safely to the
Promised Land. Like the Israelites, the Athenians did not understand, or refused to accept, the
teachings of Socrates, which were intended to renew private and public morality; leading to is
eventual condemnation and a nightcap of hemlock. Following the death of Socrates, many of his
students

Moses the Leader
Moses was a leader of the Hebrews and probably the most important figure in Judaism. He led the
Hebrew people out of Egypt and into the Promise Land. His story is told in the book of Exodus, and
begins when he was first born during the time that the pharaoh of Egypt declared that all male
Hebrew babies were to be drowned at birth. Moses' mother Yocheved, hid Moses and placed him in
a basket in the reeds of the Nile River, where he was then found by the pharaoh's daughter, who kept
Moses and raised him as her own. In the story of Moses, he grows up and stumbles upon an
Egyptian beating a Hebrew slave. Out of anger Moses murders the Egyptian, and flees to Midian to
escape his crime (Hays, 2000). In Midian, Moses rests besides a well, ... Show more content on

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). Being a leader is very
important when it comes to being successful. Like Moses, who was a natural born leader, it is
necessary for a President to be a leader. A President must possess certain qualities to make certain
that he will be successful in office. Leadership is a key attribute in order to be able to direct and be
followed by others. Any President would be grateful to have all the leadership qualities that Moses
had. Moses was loyal and faithful, to his belief in God. Despite his inner doubts, he believed that
God had chosen him to lead the Hebrews out of slavery and into the Promise Land. His faith kept
him motivated to persevere. Perseverance is another

Moses In The Land Of Goshen
Moses, son of Abraham and Jochebed, was born in the Land of Goshen, modern day Egypt. At the
time due to the law that the Pharaoh had put in place all first–born children of the Israelites had to be
drowned in the Nile River to prevent children from growing up and retaliating against the Pharaoh
himself. Moses was put in the Nile, but wasn't drowned. Jochebed couldn't drown her own son so
she put him in a basket and let him float down the Nile. As he floated by the Pharaoh's estate, the
Pharaohs daughter rescued him from the Nile and named him, and thus he was "raised" by Egyptian
royalty. At the beginning of the book of Exodus Moses speaks to G–d through the burning bush,
where G–d appoints him the leader of the Israelites and instructs him ... Show more content on

This becomes more evident when Moses marries, Zipporah, a woman from the Midianites (Exodus
2:15–22). Together they have a son named Gershon, which is thought to translate to "exile."
Sigmund Freud argues that the Israelite genealogy of Moses' roots was only created to mask the true
Egyptian roots of Moses. The Promised Land was promised to the Israelites and the death of Moses
at the hands of G–d may be a way of sending a message to the people of Israel. By killing Moses,
the leader of the people for the past 40 years, G–d is communicating to the people that even
someone with very little Egyptian heritage doesn't deserve to live in the Promised Land, no matter
how important they've been to the freedom of the Israelites. This hypothesis would argue that Moses
was killed by G–d purely to send a message to the people of Israel to prove how privileged they are
to be permitted into the Promised Land, creating an extreme sense of

Moses : The Friend Of God
Introduction
This paper will point out three major events in the life of Moses, the son of Amram and Jochebed.
He was known as the friend of God. "And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed
God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God" (James
2:23 King James Version). The events will then be related to timeless principles such as completely
breaking ties to the world, taking on the desire and will of the one true God, having complete trust in
God. And finally this paper will explain how these events and principles can be applied to human
lives today.
Moses left Egypt and Embraced his Heritage Moses was one of the most important men in the Old
Testament. "His critics come and go. But Moses still stands out as the foremost man of the pre–
Christian world." (Halley, 1965) During the time of his birth in Egypt, Pharaoh ordered that all
newborn male Hebrew children be cast into the Nile. God's hand was on Moses from the very start.
Pharaoh's daughter found the "three month old" Moses floating in the Nile River in a basket and
raised him as her own son. (Readers Digest Association, 1994). Since Pharaoh's daughter could not
provide milk for Moses, she had to find a Hebrew woman to nurse and raise him until he was
weaned, around three years old (Readers Digest Association). Again, God made provision for Moses
by sending his own birth mother, Jochebed, to provide for him. While she fed and cared for him, she

Moses : The Bystander Effect
On March 13, 1964, a young woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a man on her way
home. She was stabbed and later, raped and killed by her attacker, all in front of 38 of her neighbors
in their Queens, NY apartments. Despite hearing her screams and cries for help, no one had called
police until it was too late. This is one of the most famous examples of the bystander effect, a
psychological phenomenon, in which the likeliness of a witness to intervene lowers as the amount of
witnesses increase, because each individual believes that they no longer have a sole responsibility to
help. In a time where it is more prevalent than ever to just believe that "someone else can do it," we
need a hero to encourage us to take action ourselves. The biblical hero Moses demonstrated the traits
of responsibility and courage to free his people from the Egyptians and, today, to inspire this
generation to strive for what is right, even when others might not.
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 of this great
task God had presented to him, questioning God that "who [was he] that [he] should go to [the]
Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt" (Exodus 3:11). Nevertheless, Moses still returned to
Egypt to do what God had asked of him because he

Moses Accomplishments
Sometimes when we think of biblical heroes, we tend to, in a way, take their actions for granted.
Moses can be one of these. We think, "Yea, he brought the Israelites out of slavery from Egypt and
led them into the desert for forty years blah blah blah and then he has these two stone tablets yada
yada yada, let's pray and be dismissed." The accomplishments that this man made are unprecedented
among Biblical resumes. He started by following what God said and went and conversed with the
current Pharaoh of Egypt (Believed to be Thutmose II) for the release of the Israelite slaves. Not
only was he successful in showing the power of God, but after many trials was he able to render the
people of God from the hands of the Egyptians. When trapped between the hammer of the powerful
Egyptian army and the Red Sea, Moses trusted God and led the people across dry ground to the
other side while drowning the Egyptians. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
For all of the good that moses did, he did have some major faults. One day in Egypt after being
brought up in Pharaoh's house, he killed an egyptian man who was beating an Israelite and had to
flee into the desert. When first asked to go and bring the people of israel out of egypt his first
responses were, "Who am I to do this?" "What shall I tell the Israelites about who sent me?" "What
if they don't listen to me? What if they deny that God appeared to me?" "But I am not eloquent. I am
slow of speech and tongue." "Lord, send whomever you want." When you first read these, it can
sound like an eight year old trying to get out of doing the dishes. His next big mistake was hitting a
rock to make water come out of it to quench the thirst of the Israelites when God had originally
instructed him to speak to the rock. For this mistake, God would not allow Moses to enter the
promised land. He did get to see it from a mountain top right before he

Moses is one of the most important if not the most important person in all of the book of Exodus and
the Old Testament. Moses is a very important person in the book of Exodus because he helps the
people of Israel escape Egypt and commits to a new covenant between God and the nation of Israel.
This new covenant between God and Israel promises a land flowing with milk and honey if they
obey God 's laws and commandments. In turn Moses leads the people of Israel through a long
journey to the place in which they call the promise land. This is why Moses was such an important

But Moses complains that he is not the right person and he should find someone else and that such a
burden cannot be handled because of his speech issues. Finally, God replies that he will send his
brother Aaron to assist him. Then Moses again doubts God and says what if Israel doesn 't believe
me? Then God tells Moses to tell Israel that "I am has sent me to you"(ESV Bible, Exodus 3:14).
Shortly after this Moses leaves with his family to go to Egypt. I believe this teaches us no matter
what we do or what happens to us God still is still going to use us in his plan. Upon Moses arrival
with his brother Aaron they went to pharaoh and performed all of the miraculous signs including up
to the 10 plagues but pharaoh was ignorant and hardened his heart against God. Although, the last
plague which became the first Passover for the Israelites pharaoh let the Israelites go because his
first born son had been killed. Then Moses leads the people of Israel out of Egypt but pharaoh
hardens his heart again and decides to pursue after the Israelites. Now, the people of Israel come to
the Red Sea where Moses raises his staff and splits the Red Sea and the Israelites walk on dry land
but the pursuing Egyptian army his engulfed by the Red Sea. After this, time has passed and the
people of Israel have been wandering in the desert for forty years because of their unfaithfulness to

The Birth Of Moses ' Moses
Moses
Question 1
Exodus 2:1–10 – The birth of Moses
Moses was born to two Levites. His mother hid him for three months as the pharaoh was killing all
the Hebrew's children. When she couldn't hid him she made a basket, put him in it, and floated it
down the river. The pharaoh's daughter found the baby and took pity on it. She nurtured the baby
and took it as her own.
Exodus 3:1 – 4:17 – God speaks to Moses through the burning bush
Moses was herding is Father–in–law's flock and took it past the wilderness. A bush was set alight
and was not being consumed. Moses went to look at this bush and God called out to him. Moses
took of his sandals and hid his face from God as he was scared of him. God tells Moses he must go
into Egypt and free the Israelite slaves. God proceeds to tell Moses to tell the Israelites he was sent
by The Lord, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob.
Moses question the Lord on how he would prove that he was indeed sent by the Lord. God told
Moses to throw his staff on the ground, the staff turned into a snake. He then told Moses to pick up
the snake by the tail, the snake turned back into a staff. God then gave Moses two more ways to
prove he really was sent by God. One of them was to put his hand into his cloak and take it out
again. Once he did this his hand turn leprous and when he put it back into and out of his cloak it
went back to normal. The other proof was to pour a bucket of Nile river water into

Moses Research Paper
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.
The FOA acknowledges that the skills, Moses used to defeat the clergy of pharaoh were not only his
mastery in magic, but that he possessed skills in the martial arts. At that time the magicians of Egypt
were masters of the natural elements, represented as the snake's staff. (A symbol used today called
the caduceus as the wisdom in Medicine) Magic was at its highest peak just like the Pyramids.
Moses bested them with a technique he learned from God (The sixth element//Intelligence) while in
exile at Mount Sinai. Moses skills with the Staff also proved that Egypt had a stick fighting style
4000 years ago. Moses learned the ancient techniques of the Sphinxes during his early years as a
prince in Egypt. The FOA have a lesson (General Monk–Monk and the Tamahu) referring to the

Moses Journey
In the Bible many characters overcame problems while playing a big role in history, one of them
was Moses. He was an important person who had many feats, but also suffered in the Bible. While
being the man who led the Israelites out of slavery, he was hurt and disliked by many people for a
purpose; to spread his religion.
Moses's suffering started the day he was born. His mother had to hide him for three months so he
would not be killed by the Egyptians, but because his mother did this, he ended up becoming the
man who, with god by his side, saves his people from slavery. Moses's life was full of ups and
downs, and while it seemed like everything would be fine, his struggles had just began.
Moses grew up in royalty, but was disliked by the Pharaoh, the egyptians, and even his own people.
While he tried to be nice, his people were bitter and had once even said "'Who made you a price and
a judge over us?'"(110) His people may have hated him, but they had no idea his intentions. So the
hatred from the Israelites pushed him to leave Egypt and meet God. ... Show more content on

Although this was for a reason, he suffered so that others would not. If his family was discovered
hiding him against law they would probably be killed. Moses was the main character who took all
the glory, but also suffered the blame. So that when God told him to confront the Pharaoh, he was
the one who was in trouble, not his people who did not have the courage to do so. Though while he
was trying to save them, his people did not realize he was not the cause of their death, but their hero.
So when the Egyptians charged towards them he stayed calm, and knew that he had god by his side
and that no matter what doubts anyone had, he they would be okay. So he told the Israelites, "'Fear

Moses: Israelites Response To The Song Of Moses
Referred to as the Song of the Sea, the Song of Moses, the Song of Miriam, a hymn of praise and
Hebrew poetry, Exodus 15:1–21 is the Israelites response to the saving actions of Yahweh at the sea.
Moses and the people sing antiphonally about the miracle performed by the LORD and of their faith
in their divine warrior and king who reigns forever and ever. God triumphed gloriously and thwarted
the plans and power of Egyptian army and led his people through the sea to his holy habitation. The
Israelites prophetically sing how their future enemies will hear of this triumph and be fearful.

Allen attributes the Song of Miriam as one of the older literary passages of the Old Testament and
verses 13–16 presupposes their time in the desert while verse 17 speaks of their worship in
Jerusalem. Because of these two distinctions, he concludes the Song of Miriam served as a
prototype for the Song of Moses. Other commentators state Exodus 15:1–18 may be read as the
response to Miriam's exhortation, and the mention of her name places her in the leadership circle
with Moses and Aaron. Russell says "This interpretation has led several scholars to argue that
ideological forces have been at work to minimize Miriam's role. Some scholars believe Miriam's
'anticlimactic' contribution has been downplayed and suppressed by redactors." Brenner claims
Miriam was the original author and performer of the Song of the Sea, but in the present literary
context, she has been reduced to a mere echo of Moses. Feldman, on the other hand, reconstructed
the Qumran scroll 4Q365 of the Song of Miriam, concluded "the new readings and reconstructions
reaffirm the observation made by previous scholars that the Song of Miriam in 4Q365 relies on the
wording for the Song of the

Sinai. "Muslim's make the pilgrimage to Mt. Sinai to see the mosque, Christian pilgrim's make the
journey to encounter the chapel and far and in between, Jew's rarely make a pilgrimage to Mt. Sinai
so that it will "remain surrounded by misty holiness."" (Kessler, 1968) Christian pilgrims encounter
a revolutionary Christian ideology through the monastery images of Moses removing his sandals
before a burning bush that was never consumed by fire, or Moses, holding to his face, the very
tablets which ordained the way people were to live in the Old Testament prior to the transfiguration
of the incarnate Christ in human form in the New Testament. The experience itself is a minimalized
fraction of what Moses experienced when meeting with God face–to–face, standing in the presence
of the holiest of holies, sealing Mt. Sinai as the birthplace of a spiritual nation where God showed
His glory to Israel, forever changing history.
Resistant to change, the rituals of pilgrimage to Sinai are conspicuously set apart from the secular
world. (Coleman & Elsner, 1994) Contradictory to Turner, the tripartite pilgrimage process features
geographical separation, exposure to sacred knowledge and the expectation of transformation. To a
degree, there are two conversions pilgrims are "expected" to experience in pilgrimage to Sinai. The
first level would be one of a theological element, based on Christian belief, a

They are both referred to as men or servants of God. However, they represent vastly different
functions within the Bible. While both David and Moses serve God, they do so in extremely

First, they both antagonize their rulers. Likewise, this causes them to lose the favor of their adoptive
households. Interestingly, Moses and David, both distinguish themselves and lose royal favor, by
killing someone. First, David loses favor and becomes a significant figure by killing Goliath. As a
result, Saul begins to fear David. Similarly, Moses kills an Egyptian slave–driver, which angers the
Pharaoh. Both of these deaths, symbolize the beginning of the divine missions of David and Moses.
As a result, they both begin confronting the authority in the region. David begins directly fighting
against Saul. Moses begins confronting the Pharaoh with plagues. However, at this time the first
major difference between Moses and David becomes apparent. David spoke through God indirectly
through the prophet Samuel. But Moses, was a prophet, so spoke to God directly. However, this
point of their lives poses additional similarities. During this time of their lives, both Moses and
David worked as shepherds. Likewise, their opponents constantly began to yield, but changed their
minds. The Pharaoh at many points stated that he would free the Jews. For example, the Pharaoh
said, "I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer," (Exodus 9:28). However, the Pharaoh
constantly changed his mind because, "The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh," (Exodus 9:12).
Similarly, at many times Saul considered making peace with David. However, he must change his
mind, until he is eventually defeated and David becomes

The Tabernacle Of Moses
The ancient tabernacle of Moses was a sacred and holy place for the people of Israel. It served as a
tool for the people to remember God and to look forward to their promised Messiah. The tabernacle
was so integral to the lives of the Israelites that they even built the tabernacle in the center of their
encampments during their journeys (Yom Kippur). The tabernacle also served many purposes for the
Israelites in their rituals, ceremonies, and beliefs of their religion. Many practices that the ancient
Israelites performed in and for the tabernacle anciently, may seem peculiar to the modern thought
process or many beliefs today. The main focus of the tabernacle was the day of Yom Kippur, or Day
of Atonement. On this day, the Israelites would gather and watch as a high priest performed the
rituals in the tabernacle that would rid the sins of the people of Israel. This day and ceremony was a
very important aspect to Israelites' beliefs and the tabernacle was the main tool for their ceremonies.
The tabernacle and the day of Yom Kippur served many purposes in helping the Israelites to
remember their God, learn from symbols, and to help them strive to obey their God's
commandments.
To be able to understand the symbols and rituals that the Israelites did in the tabernacle, a
knowledge of the tabernacle's history, and specific instructions must be understood. In Mariuce

reminder that God was with him.
As long as his arms were up, the Israelites were winning the battle. As he lowered his arms, the

The Zohar, supposedly written by the Spanish Jewish Mystic Moses de Leon, presents some
interesting additions to the excerpt from Exodus chapter 3. Several hundred years ago, de Leon

book of wisdom written by a well known teacher of the second century who lived in Israel, Rabbi

old secrets by copying portions from the original book and selling them. When a young man named

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 on that journey battled Poseidon,
the sea, his men, and himself. Not only are the stories of The Odyssey and Exodus the similar, but
the heroes, Odysseus and Moses, share many of the same attributes and behaviors. Both, despite
having murderous pasts, were chosen by their God or gods to be the savior of their people. Each had
a specific limitation that directly interfered with the completion of their mission. And since they
were helped by God or the Greek gods along the way, Moses and Odysseus ultimately had faith that
they would be successful, regardless of the obstacles ahead. Their similarities exist on a personal
level as well. Both heroes had to make great sacrifices for the good of the whole. They each
underwent a personal transformation as a result of the trials they faced. And each learned a lesson
that they passed on as a message for their people. The hero's journey is also determined by how each
story originated. The Hebrews passed down Moses

Meaning Of The Law Of Moses
Meaning of the phrase "Law of Moses"
The meaning of the phrase "law of Moses" has different possible meanings. To find which of the
meanings fit the text best one must look at the Hebrew context. Since there is no word for "of" in the
biblical Hebrew, Hebrew uses what is called a construct chain to define what type of (possessive)
relationship between two nouns. A construct chain is when two nouns are placed side by side in
which the (possessive) relationship between these two nouns is expressed. In a constructive chain,
the word "of" is implied because each of the nouns is side by side. Most of the time two different
translations is possible, for example "law of Moses" or "Moses' law."
Now as to some of the possible meanings of the phrase "law of Moses" there are a few. The most
assumed meaning is that Moses wrote the law – this comes from the constructive chain that is being
in the subjective genitive form of "authorship" which could mean "Moses wrote the law" The
problem with this is that this does not necessarily mean "all", meaning that it does not explicitly
suggest that Moses wrote all of the law. Therefore, there are other possible meanings to the phrase
"the law of Moses." Other possible meaning would be that Moses had "possession of the law", the
"law was given to Moses," "the law was for Moses," or "law about Moses." There is another
possible meaning and that is that it means the Mosaic law, which refers to the Torah. These
meanings are all possibilities even

Moses: Myth or Reality
Despite the achievements contribution of the great number of most powerful men throughout the
history, Moses is one of the most influential figures in the history of mankind. Being a son of Israel,
he is a greatest prophet who received the Ten Commandments from God himself on Mount Sinai.
Indeed, the contribution of Moses is innumerable. He is a father of Judaism, and he also influenced
two most powerful world religions – Christianity and Islam. In addition to that, Moses is the leader,
liberator of slaves, and the commander of the army of invaders.
Even though the religious views of Jews, Christians, and Muslims vary in many different ways,
those three fundamental religions share leastwise one thing in common: they all treat Moses with
equal and profound respect and appreciation. In Christianity, Moses is one of the most important
prophets who is thought of a prefiguration of Jesus Christ. The same as the Old Testament was
revealed through Moses, so the New Testament was given through Christ. In Muslim tradition,
Moses is called Musa, and he is one of the greatest prophets of Allah. The view of Moses in the

The Role Of Moses In Machiavelli
The Bible portrays Moses as an indignant vigilante faced by the oppression of his confrères, as the
instigator of the revolt of the enslaved Israelites, as the leader of a newly constituted people, as a
legislator, and as a political founder. Of course, the Bible explicitly says that Moses is the servant of
God who acts only under the orders of a supreme and divine ruler. Yet Moses seems to be the human
leader of God's chosen people and plays an undeniably political role. To read the bible politically is
a question of determining how to interpret Moses and the exit from Egypt. From the outset, it is
important to note that Moses does not appear as the representative of a certain form of politics
whose mottoes and convictions he would manifest.
On the contrary, Moses plays the role of an emblematic political figure in political theories. Moses'
approaches to political thought are varied and contradictory. Machiavelli proposes a realistic view of
Moses, he is interested in the biblical character and emphasizes the anthropological realism that
Moses demonstrated, but he is also interested in portraying Moses in the image of his own political
narrative. Machiavelli demonstrates that he is convinced that the Bible offers a realistic and even
disenchanted view of men who oppose any form of political idealism. According to Machiavelli, the
Bible shows men as determined by their passions that forbid them, most of the time, from virtuous
behavior. Upon greater scrutiny, the Bible

Abraham and Moses Essay
Abram is presented to us as an old man without an offspring or heir. He is at the age of seventy–five
when God comes to him with the offer of the covenant. Abraham stands for devotion, justice,
compassion, faith, tact, and personal integrity. He is also seen as cunning, humorous, and pragmatic
throughout the story. Abram is a man looking for his faith, and God asks Abram to leave his land
and kinship to a land which God will show him. In exchange for Abram's faith and compliance, God
will make of Abram a great nation, make his name great, bless those who bless him and curse those
who curse him, and finally all the communities of the Earth will find blessing in him.

Abraham found out that this was God's final test before the covenant was finalized. God told
Abraham that all his people must look to God as their god, and that all the boys must be circumcised
on the eighth day after their birth. If Abraham 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. God promises Abraham many things which were unbelievable or impossible without divine
intervention, so Abraham's faith is always being tested. Abraham knows that his legacy will never
continue without an heir, so his faith lets him continue and believe that he will still have a son even
after he has aged so much. Another reason why Abraham must have faith is that the people
following him have faith in Abraham. If at any time Abraham loses faith, he will not only risk
breaking the covenant with God, but he will also be letting down all the people who had faith in
him.
The story of Abraham changed the way the Hebrew people thought about time. The Hebrew people
began to think of time as cyclical. Each cycle was begun with the promise of what is to come, and
ended with the fulfillment of this promise and the need of a new promise. This fits in with the stories
of the Prophets, as the coming of Abraham and Moses can be

The passage takes place in Goshen where all the Hebrew people are currently living. After Moses is
born he is placed in a basket in the Nile river and found by Pharaohs daughter. Miriam his older

him. So the princess asked Miriam to take the child and find a Hebrew woman to nurse it for her. So

If we look at the historical context of the passage we see that the Hebrew people were under the rule
of a new Pharaoh who did not know Joseph. (ESV). The significance of mentioning the Pharaoh did
not know Joseph was that for the Hebrew people Joseph was seen as a savior of the Egyptians and
his family for his guidance during the great famine that covered the land in Genesis. Its implied that
if the Pharaoh had known the partnership between the Hebrews and the Egyptians long ago he might
not have treated them the way he did. With the growing population of the Hebrews the Pharaoh
grew scared that the people might join sides with an enemy nation or revolt against the Egyptians.
So Pharaoh decreed that all newborn Hebrew boys be thrown into the Nile river. This was so that the

The Characters Of Moses In The Bible's Exodus
In the Bible as in Literature, the characters face many problems to appease to God. While Moses is a
featured character in the book of Exodus, Moses faces a great deal of problems that he somehow
manages to overcome, and stay strong in the faith of God. What separates Moses from other
characters is how much he accomplishes through his struggles, which start the second he is born.
Moses becomes one of the most well known biblical figures, Moses stands up to the Egyptians for
his people, and most importantly saves an entire religion.
Around the time of Moses's birth, a large number of the Hebrew population in Egypt was enslaved
by the Pharaoh. Pharaoh was afraid of what would happen if the Hebrew population continued to
grow. "Every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile, but you shall let every
daughter live." (110) Moses's mother refused to let this happen so she made a basket coated with tar
and sent the basket, with Moses inside, down the Nile river. To anyone's surprise, Moses survived
and happened to float into a part of the river where the Pharaoh's daughter was bathing. Pharaoh's
daughter took Moses and saw that he was a Hebrew child and decided to keep him as her son. Even
though Moses was too young to recognize this as a problem, it's amazing how he was able to survive
the Nile, and to be raised as a royal member of the family, considering his, "Grandfather", had
ordered all Hebrew male babies to be killed. This itself

Moses's Life : Moses And The Life Of Moses
The life of Moses can be adequately summed up by the verse Jeremiah 29:11. "For I know the plans
I have for saith the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and a
future." Little did Moses' mother know that God would use her child to change the history of the
Israelite people forever.
Moses was born to Amram and Jochebed in about 1500 B.C. where the Pharaoh had issued a decree
that all Israelite baby boys must be thrown in the Nile River. Jochebed gave birth to Moses and had
Moses' sister Miriam place him among the reeds. Miriam placed him among the reeds. Through
God's providence he was found by Pharaoh's daughter and raised as a king. Up until the time Moses
was weaned he was cared for by his mother thus educating him in the ways of his people. And
Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds." While
Moses was educating himself, and growing in knowledge and stature the treatment of the Israelite
people worsened. At the age of 40 Moses witnessed an Egyptian taskmaster beating a slave, Moses
struck down the Egyptian and buried him in the sand. Moses feared the consequences of his actions
so he ran away to Midian. In Midian Moses met his wife Zipporah. What a wonderful example how
even in our mistakes God uses our them for our good. Moses stayed in Midian until the day when he

doubt who he really is as a person. Moses is chosen by God and tries to free his people but struggles

Aeneas is already made to be a powerful heroic figure by nature. At the end of the Aeneid he
temporarily loses his heroism and his pietas. The burning of Troy guards his ability to perform like a
natural hero he is. I can tell that his heroism will be an inner struggle within himself. Aeneas feels
like he is no longer in control of his own destiny. This makes him more of a hero than a leader. He
has to deal with battle everywhere he goes. Aeneas shows his true heroism and leadership when he
choses his duties as a leader over his love for Dido. He has to tell Dido he is "duty–bound" (973).
Aeneas shows compassion and love, which are some rare traits in heroes. To me, this makes him
more of a hero because he can show his emotions. He felt very guilty and thought he was the reason

In the Hebrew bible, the golden calf was an idol made by Aaron for the Israelites during Moses'
unexpectedly long absence. It is first mentioned in Exodus 32:4.
When Moses went up onto Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments (Exodus 19:20), he left
the Israelites for forty days and forty nights (Exodus 24:18). The Israelites feared that he would not
return, and asked Aaron to make a god for them (Exodus 32:1). The Bible does not note Aaron's
opinion of this request; merely that he complied, and gathered up the Israelites' golden earrings. He
melted them to construct the golden calf. He also built an altar before the calf, and the next day, the
Israelites made offerings and celebrated.
G–d told Moses that his people had corrupted themselves, and that he planned to eliminate them, but
Moses argued and pleaded that they should be spared (Exodus 32:11); G–d relented. Moses came
down from the mountain, but upon seeing the calf, he became very angry; and as a result threw
down the tablets upon which G–d's law had been written causing them to break. He ground up the
golden calf, mixed its powder with water, and forced the Israelites to drink it. Then he gathered the

facing all of the racial and gender barriers in London, Moses contemplates his experiences and
acknowledges that he has been stagnant. Selvon's use of commas in the place of periods creates a

Similar to how the sentence is like an incessant list, Moses's reflection and sorrow for his lack ...
Clare was originally supposed to be heavily suppressed given her circumstances, arguably even
more than Moses, as she had an autocratic father neglecting her black roots and was perceived as a
naive twelve year old girl incapable of doing anything. Nonetheless, she had confronted her limits
that society placed on her in pursuit of her identity, leading her to have the confidence to fire the
gun. After that incidence of defiance, her mother told her, "When you are grown you can want
anything you want. You can be anything you want. A doctor. A teacher. But to get there you have to
learn the rules. That girls like you don't fire guns"(Cliff 150). Unlike Moses whose narrative ends
with regret, the end of Clare's journey as rebel opens a new chapter for her where her possibilities
are, according to her mother, endless. However, their views on the path to success and fulfillment
are quite different. Clare's perspective on doing "anything [she] wants" is not defined by being in the
workforce which is suggested by her mom and is the route Moses took. Rather, Clare derives her
pleasure from defying these "rules" made for girls and finding her identity and the independence that
follows, enabling her to develop a greater sense of human

He did this for his apostles and his apostles only. He wanted to show them true faith and belief in
God and the power it held. Peter was able to take a few steps towards Jesus, but when he became
fearful and lost his faith, he quickly sank. Jesus responded by telling him, "You of little faith, why
did you doubt" (Matthew 14:31). This moment marks a turning point in the Bible. From here on, the
