Moses was chosen to be a leader because he was considered a prophet, saw a burning bush that spoke to him, and was selected by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt to the Promised Land. His upbringing and experiences also prepared him for this significant role.
Jews worship in the home in a variety of ways. These include saying blessings and certain prayers, lighting candles before the Sabbath, as well as keeping kosher in the home.
According to our tradition, we can pray privately when necessary, but communal prayer in the synagogue has a much stronger effect (Talmud, Berakhot 7b-8a). Praying also strengthens the spiritual level and the bonds within the community.
Joshua died at age 110.
He conquered the land for 7 years.
He divided the land for 7 years.
That would make him 96 years old when he took over for Moses.
However there's no clear information how long he lived after conquering and dividing the land - so he may have been younger.

Reese Chronological Bible complied by Frank R. Klassen (Bethany House Publishers, 1977) indicates that the Israelites entered the Promised Land in 1422 B.C. (Joshua 1) and that Joshua died in 1372 B.C (Joshua 24:29). If this is true, this means that Joshua was in the Promised Land for 50 years. Since Joshua 24:29 says he died at the age of 110 years, this would imply that Joshua was 60 years old when he entered the land. Also, he would have been 20 years of age at the time he gave the good report to the nation of Israel. This agrees with Numbers 11:28.
Emerson credits Moses with the strength of his convictions, Plato with his philosophical wisdom, and Milton with his poetic inspiration.
According to the Bible, after Moses killed an Egyptian and fled Egypt, he went to the land of Midian and settled there. He hid himself among the people of Midian and eventually married the daughter of a Midianite priest.
There is no specific mention in the Bible about Moses being wrapped in a Hebrew blanket. However, Moses was traditionally placed in a basket and sent down the Nile River as an infant to escape being killed by Pharaoh's order.
Moses' followers are referred to by various names in different contexts. In the biblical narrative, they are often called the Israelites or the children of Israel, as they were descended from Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel). They are also sometimes referred to as the Hebrews, reflecting their heritage as descendants of Abraham, who was a Hebrew.
No, Miriam did not go into the promised land. According to the Bible, she died and was buried before the Israelites entered the land of Canaan.
Pharaoh's daughter had the most influence on Moses. She rescued him from the Nile and adopted him as her own son, raising him in the royal court. She provided him with a privileged upbringing and education, shaping him into a future leader.
Yes, at least 2 children
Exodus 18:2-5 NIV (quick google search)
2 After Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro received her 3 and her two sons. One son was named Gershom,[a] for Moses said, "I have become a foreigner in a foreign land"; 4 and the other was named Eliezer,[b] for he said, "My father's God was my helper; he saved me from the sword of Pharaoh."
5 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, together with Moses' sons and wife, came to him in the wilderness, where he was camped near the mountain of God. 6 Jethro had sent word to him, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons."
Moses in Hebrew is moshe (משה) which which is most likely derived from Egyptian mes meaning "son", but could also possibly mean "deliver" in Hebrew.
Note: The meaning suggested in the Bible, "drew out" from Hebrew משה (mashah) is probably an invented etymology.
The Bible describes Moses as fearless and loyal, as when he killed the Egyptian who struck another Israelite. Other strengths given for Moses were his honesty and self-awareness. When the Lord chose him to lead the Israelites, he first said that he was not eloquent and would not make a good leader.
By killing the Egyptian and therefore committing a grave sin, he exposed his own moral weakness. Few other weaknesses are described in the text. A relevant, although indirect weakness concerns doubts about his very existence. Over 90 per cent of scholars are reported as believing that the Exodus never occurred as described in the Bible, implying that Moses, the great leader of the Exodus, never existed either.
Yes, if necessary. However, it is preferable for Jews to pray in groups (called minyanim).
Harriet Tubman, because she freed slaves and in The Bible Moses freed people
In the b-b-b-b-bible? Seriously, I've never heard any mention of Moses having a stuttering problem anywhere except your question.
A possibility:The idea that Moses stuttered may come from what he said in Exodus 4:10 - Then Moses said to the Lord, "O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue." [NKJV]It is related to Moses having reached a level of prophecy higher than that of any other prophet (Numbers ch.12, Deuteronomy ch.34). Because of that, he was chosen by God as the person most suitable to carry out the greatest missions (the leading of the Israelites out of Egypt and then across the Sea of Reeds, the receiving of the Torah, and the leading of the Israelites throughout the next forty years).

Judah. This was prophesied :-
Gen 49:10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come. And the obedience of the peoples to him.
Heb 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
Rev 5:5 One of the elders said to me, "Don't weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals."
Rev 5:6 I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lambstanding, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.
Jewish Answer:
Tribal distinctions were already lost by the time Jesus was born, so no one truly knows.
Another AnswerPeople knew what tribe they belonged to.For example, Anna knew she was from the tribe of Asher:-
Luke 2 (v.36) There was also a prophetess, Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was well along in years, having lived with her husband seven years after her marriage,
Paul knew he was from the tribe of Benjamin:-
Phil 3 (v.4) although I [that is, Paul] once also had confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more: (v.5) circumcised the eighth day; of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; regarding the law, a Pharisee;
Paul's parents knew they were from the tribe of Benjamin:-
When Paul changed his life by being converted and becoming a Christian, he also changed his name. Paul's previous name was "Saul" , and was taken from King Saul, who was also from the tribe of Benjamin. Paul's parents knew they were from the tribe of Benjamin and so called their son after the greatest leader of that tribe.
However, all these tribal details were lost when the Temple was destroyed in 70AD.
the tribe of Judah
Hebrews 7:14 - For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. [NKJV]
the tribe of Judah
Jesus was from the tribe of Judah.
Ex 14:21-22
Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.
NIV
-----------------------
If it really happened, the parting of the Red Sea can only be considered a miracle. It is such an improbable miracle that some Christian apologists have sought to explain that perhaps it was not the Red Sea but a lesser body of water, such as the Reed Sea, that Moses parted. This is unnecessary, since if God is able to perform miracles, he could surely perform great miracles.
As to whether the parting of the Red Sea really happened, over 90 per cent of scholars are reported to believe that the Exodus from Egypt never happened as described in the Bible. Without an Exodus, there was no parting of the Red Sea and therefore no miracle.
She didn't want him killed by the king and he was found by someone and raised up
All Jews are his descendants, therefore they gain the same blessing that he received from God.
Answer 2
Tradition states that Abraham founded Judaism, and Moses later received the Torah from God.
Abraham (18th century BCE), tenth-generation descendant of Noah, of Hebrew lineage, was the son of Terah, uncle of Lot, father of Isaac, grandfather of Jacob, and forefather of the Israelites. His story is in Genesis ch.11 (end), through ch.25. Jewish tradition states that he was the first to actively spread belief in One God; and it is in his merit that Jews continue to exist (Genesis 18:19, and ch.17).
No, Moses and Joshua were not cousins. Joshua was Moses " General" when he was fighting in the army. Joshua fought and overcame the battle with a sword. Furthermore, Joshua was of the half-tribe of Ephraim while Moses was of the tribe of Levi.
