Moses with the Ten Commandments
(Unknown artist).
(Unknown artist).
Moses was a prophet of Israel (Deuteronomy 34:10), the author of the first five books in the Old Testament (the Pentateuch), a revered Jewish leader and icon who, with God's help, led an estimated 3,000,000 Israelites out of Egyptian bondage to form the Jewish nation. The son of Amram and Jochebed (Exodus 6:20), Moses was born a Levite Jew (Exodus 2:1) in 1571 BC when the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt (Exodus 1:13-14). Afraid that the growing population of Jewish slaves would one day turn against Egypt (Exodus 1:10), the Egyptian Pharaoh Rameses ordered midwives to kill all the male Jewish babies at birth (Exodus 1:15-16). When the midwives refused (Exodus 1:17), Pharaoh ordered the babies to be "cast into the river" (Exodus 1:22). To save the infant Moses' life, his mother Jochebed hid him in a basket in the reeds on the banks of the Nile River (Exodus 2:3). Pharaoh's daughter found Moses (Exodus 2:5-6) and raised him as her son.
Growing up, Moses received an education (Acts 7:22) and all the advantages given to the son of a king. But at the age of forty, he killed an Egyptian for mistreating a Hebrew (Exodus 2:11-12; Acts 7:23-24) and was forced to flee Egypt. Moses fled to Midian (Exodus 2:15) near Sinai, where he married and lived the simple life of a Shepard (Exodus 3:1) for forty years until God appeared to him in the form of a burning bush (Exodus 3:1-22; Acts 7:30-34).
Following God's instructions, the eighty-year-old Moses returned to Egypt to liberate the Israelites. After God brought a series of ten miracles/plagues down on the Egyptians (Exodus 7:1-12:51), Pharaoh allowed the enslaved Israelites to leave Egypt a free people. The Israelites wandered through the wilderness for the next forty years, searching for the Promised Land (Canaan). Moses, "the mediator of the old covenant," received the Mosaic Law (the First Covenant, the Ten Commandments) from God on Mount Sinai (Exodus 34:1-35), prophesied the coming of the Messiah (John 5:46; Acts 7:37), was likened to Christ (Deuteronomy 18:15; Acts 7:37) and appeared with Jesus during the transfiguration (Matthew 17:3-5; Mark 9:2-4; Luke 9:29-30). Moses lived to be one hundred and twenty years old (forty years in the royal palace, forty years as a fugitive in Midian, and forty years in the wilderness) and died on Mount Nebo in Moab (eight miles east of the mouth of the Jordan River) and was buried by God (Deuteronomy 34:5-7). In Jude 1:9, we see Satan arguing with Michael the Archangel over Moses' body. The story of Moses can be found in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

"Aside from Jesus, it has never been given to any man to be agent of so many stupendous manifestations of Divine power:
The plagues of Egypt. Waters of Red Sea dried up. Water made sweet at Marah. Quails sent in wilderness of sin, and at Taberah. Manna supplied daily for 40 years. Water from the rock at Rephidim and Meribah. Cataclysmic scenes at Sinai. God's voice from the mountain. The Ten Commandments written on stone with God's finger. Moses' face shone. Moses talked face to face with God. Miriam's leprosy sent and removed. Korah and his rebels swallowed by earth. Punitive plagues at Taberah, Kadesh and Peor. Aaron's rod buds. People healed by brazen serpent. Balaam's ass speaks. Balaam utters amazing prophecies. Israel guided 40 years by a supernatural cloud. Clothes waxed not old, and feet swelled not.
Moses could not have delivered Israel out of Egypt, and sustained them in the wilderness 40 years, without the direct miraculous help of God. This high privilege, as in case of Paul, was accompanied by almost unbelievable suffering."
