The summary of Moses is A retelling of The Bible story. Pharaoh Ramses decrees the death of all Hebrew children, but Moses, placed in a basket in the Nile by his mother, is taken by a royal princess and raised as the brother of the heir to the throne of Egypt, Memefta. Moses is called by God to lead his people from Egypt to the promised land. A very reluctant prophet, feeling unworthy of the call, Moses accepts the task. After a series of plagues Memefta agrees to let the Hebrews go. With second thoughts, he pursues them to annihilation of his army in the parting of the Red Sea. Starvation is averted by manna from heaven, the ten commandments are given the people through Moses, they go astray with worship of the golden calf. Forty years of wandering in the wilderness, until finally they reach what will be their home (which Moses lives to see but not to enter). Written by Bruce Cameron {dumarest@midcoast.com} The story begins in Egypt with the persecution of newborn Hebrew males, and Ptira's, the Pharaoh's daughter, discovery of the infant Moses on the Nile. Moses' youth at the Pharaoh's court ends abruptly when he is forced to flee, after he kills an Egyptian overseer to save his brother Aaron. During his years of exile, Moses meets his future wife Zipporah and her father Jethro. After Moses and Zipporah's wedding, the vision of God in the Burning Bush occurs, commanding Moses to return to Egypt with Zipporah and his brother Aaron. There, Moses and Aaron confront the Pharaoh, demanding that he free the Israelites. Only after the tenth plague - the killing of the Egyptian firstborn - does the Pharaoh allow them to depart. With the crossing of the Red Sea and God's destruction of the Egyptian army ends the first part of the story. The second part begins with the discontent of the famished Israelites with Moses. The mood changes when God nourishes Israelites with the sudden, welcome gift of manna and quails in the desert. On the slopes of Mount Sinai, God and the people of Israel enter into a Covenant, which is sealed by Moses receiving the Ten Commandments on the mountaintop. Upon his return to the camp, however, Moses is shocked to discover that the people of Israel have lost their faith in God and are now worshipping an idol: the Golden Calf. In rage, Moses smashes the tablets and severely punishes the idolizers before retreating to the mountaintop and receiving the new tablets. On the way to the Promised Land, Moses' sister, Miriam, jealous of Moses' wife Zipporah, rebels against her brother's leadership. God punishes her and makes it quite clear that Moses is the chosen leader and will remain so. Finally on the borders of the Promised Land, the Israelites send out twelve scouts. Their fearful description of the Canaanites when they return shocks the people of Israel into rebelling against Moses and Aaron, intending to kill them and return immediately to Egypt. God quickly punishes the rebels, and tells Moses that none of the adult Israelites he has led will ever see the Promised Land, and instead must wander through the desert for another 40 years. Exactly forty years later, Miriam dies. Although Moses wants to mourn the loss of his sister, the people only complain to him about the lack of water. At God's command, Moses strikes a rock and water flows from it, but he is so angry and frustrated with his people that he forgets to attribute the miracle to God, and he too is condemned to never enter the Promised Land. Moses appoints Joshua as his successor and sets off alone to the peak of Mount Nebo. As a final mark of his forgiveness and thankfulness, God grants Moses the chance to look over into the Promised Land just before his death. Finally, now under the leadership of Joshua, the Israelites cross the Jordan river into the Promised Land. Happyfeet360 wrote this.

answere 1-welll tht wasnt very nice answere 2, jeeeeezz

anywayss the thing is if you beleve then yes there are many facts

like for instance, he lived till the age of 120

that he was given the 10 cammandments

he killed the egyptions first born and many many more !

msn ? justt askkk !

answere 2-The only facts about Moses is, there are no facts. Modern Biblical Scholars now agree, at least at this point in time, that the Biblical Moses is not Historical.

Answer 3- Moses is in Egyptian history, although not by the name Moses, but by his egyptian name. He is also the writer of the first five books in the Old Testament, namely Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy(written in Chaldean, or Hebrew if you'd rather call it that)

sort of hard for a man that never existed to write five books.

Well the summary of Moses is just the shorter version of the Life of Moses that can be found in the Bible. Moses' family is called the HEBREW. When Pharaoh heard of a new king being born, he ordered his guards to kill all the baby boys in Egypt. Jochebed, Moses' mother, hid Moses for three months. She was scared for the life of her son so she wove a basket of bullrushes, packed it with blankets for comfort and placed the baby inside. She asked God to guide and protect him. Pharaoh's daughter, princess Ptira, went to bathe in the Nile River saw the banket and ordered to see what's inside the basket. She found a baby and wanted to keep him but had no time to raise an infant. Moses' elder sister, Miriam, offered her a nurse and got her mother. Ptira agreed and Jochebed raised Moses to love and obey the Lord always.

When Moses grew older, living in the palace of the now queen, he saw a guard beating a Hebrew and due to temper, he killed the guard and hid for his life. When Pharaoh found out about this, Moses went to live in the Midinite Wilderness where he lived for 40 years with his wife, Zipporah and children. One day on his way home, he saw a burning tree that was not consuming. When he got near the tree he was ordered to take off his shoes for he is on Holy Ground. The Lord told Moses that it was time for him to set his people free. He refused for a while then he finally agreed. He went to Pharaoh and told him that he has come to set his people free but Pharaoh didn't let them free until the death of his first born son.

The story of Moses started when the Hebrew Patriach Jacob [also called 'Israel'] , his wives, his sons and all their families moved to Egypt. One of those sons was called 'Levi' (after whom the tribe of Levi is named:-.

Exodus 1

1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; ...

2 ...Levi, ...

They greatly increased in number:-

7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

A new Pharoah [the Egyptian king] enslaved the people and ordered all new-born male babies born to be killed:-

8 Now there arose up a new king [or a 'Pharoah] over Egypt, ...

9 And he said unto hisJacob's people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:

13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:

14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, ...with rigour.

15 And the king of Egypt spake ...

16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife ....if it be a son, then ye shall kill him:...

22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, ...

Both of Moses' parents were Levites.

Exodus2

1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.

This means Moses was a Levite. (The Levites were the tribe of priests named after 'Levi' born over 300 years previously).

Moses was put in a waterproofed basket into the Nile:_

Exodus 2

2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and ... she hid him three months.

3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, ... and put the child therein; and she laid it ...by the river's brink.

His sister Miriam kept watch:-

Exodus 2

4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him

Pharoah's daughter [Note: scholars believe this was almost certainly Hatshepsut] rescued Moses in the ark :-

Exodus 2

5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.

6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.

Pharoah's daughter ordered his sister Miriam to get a Hebrew woman to nurse Moses, [Joseopus says this was because Moses refused to let the Egyptian women suckle him] and this was Moses' own mother.

Exodus 2

7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?

8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.

Moses' mother was actually paid for nursing, and rearing, her own baby.

Exodus 2

9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.

Josephus says that although Moses' own father wanted to call him Joachim, Pharoah's daughter called him Moses :-

Exodus 2

10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

When Moses was 40 he killed an Egyptian and then fled for his life:-

Exodus 2

11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.

12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?

14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.

15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.

In Midian he saw a bush burn but not burn up and decided to see why:-

Exodus 3

1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

God had used the burning bush to attract Moses' curiosity and told him he was to return to Egypt, and take the people out of Egypt:-

Exodus 3

10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

19 And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.

20 And Moses ... returned to the land of Egypt:...

9 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:

30 And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

31 And the people believed: and ... then they bowed their heads and worshipped.

Then when Moses asked Pharoah to let the Hebrews leave Egypt he refused :-

Exodus 5

1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

2 And Pharaoh said, [Basically, 'Nó way!']

Then followed:-

the 10 Plagues on Egypt,

the Hebrews leaving Egypt [called 'The Exodus'],

going to Mt Sinai, and

God giving the Ten Commandments to Moses.

As they say, the rest is history.

(If you are a Muslim) you can read it in Surat Taha, and the first 2-3 pages in Surat Shuara. Those two tell the stories very well.
