What 3 parts of moses life helped him free the hebrews?

Moses lived for 120 years, 40 years in Egypt, 40 years in the land of Midian and 40 years leading the Hebrew people in the way to the promised land. ANSWER: Moses lived in Egypt for 40 years and learned all the ways of the Egyptians. The next 40 years Moses lived as a shepherd, was married and His father in law (Jethro) was a priest of Midian. It has been said by many scholars that Jethro was a priest of the one true God. If this is so he and Moses had a lot to talk about as Moses had been raised by his mother, Jecobed for some years and no doubt was told about God by her. It was during the last part of the desert years that Jehovah called Moses to deliver the children out of Egypt. The next 40 years Moses did in fact lead the children out of Egypt and was the go between of God and the Israelites. It wasn't Moses' experience that led God to call upon him. All the work of bringing the Israelites out of Egypt was God's doing. Moses was the instrument.

How many years ago did Moses live?

The Bible says that the Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt, and an analysis of the biblical genealogies suggests that Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt around 1440 BCE. That means that the journey to Egypt would have taken place about 1870 BCE. According to Genesis, Moses' grandfather, Kohath, was alive at the time of the migration of the Israelites to Egypt and lived 133 years, while Moses' father, Amran, lived 137 years. We do not know how old Kohath was when he went to Egypt, but if he and his son Amran were capable of fathering a child at any time between puberty and the year of their deaths, then Moses was born between about 1855-1600 BCE. Since Moses died just before the invasion of Canaan, forty years after the Exodus from Egypt, he died about 1400 BCE. On these figures, Moses was born about 3,610 to 3,865 ago and died about 3410 years ago. On the other hand, Moses is recorded as living to 120 years old, which means that one or both of the above dates is wrong, or just that the Bible was written before the invention of calculators and a ready means of checking the facts as they are being written.


How many years were the Jews slaves in Egypt before being led to freedom by Moses?

430 yearsAccording to Exodus 12:40-41, the Hebrews spent 430 years in Egypt.210 yearsHowever, a problem arises because biblical information about the year of the birth of Moses does not tally with the date of the Exodus, if he lived only 120 years. A Jewish midrash of the common era attempted to rationalise by stating that Moses protested to God that he could not lead the Hebrews, because they had only been in Egypt for 210 years and had not yet faced the 400 years of oppression that God had foretold to Abraham. God responded that the time of oppression had to be dated from the birth of Isaac, and so 400 years had indeed gone by.Not at allMany archaeologists have pointed out that although there are extensive records of life in ancient Egypt, there is no archaeological evidence that the Israelites were ever held in Egypt. Over 90 per cent of scholars are reported as saying that the enslavement of the Israelites and the Exidus from Egypt never really happened.

How many years between Moses and David?

There were anywhere from 300 to 500 years between the time of Jacob and Moses. Jacob was born first of the two. One of Jacob's sons was Joseph - who became a leader in Egypt. Moses was born into the Egypt that Joseph had presided over. Therefore, Moses came about 2 generations after Jacob. In biblical time, that's about 3 to 5 hundred years.
