He brought them out of Egypt (Exodus ch.12) and gave them the Torah from God (Deuteronomy 33:4).
Moses was a great-great grandson of Jacob. He was born 245 years after the death of Abraham. The time when Moses was born was when the Pharaoh had ordered his people to kill all Israelite male infants because he (Pharaoh) was afraid that the Israelites would become too strong for him (Exodus ch.1-2).
Moses' mother didn't want him to die. So she made a basket for him and put him in it to float in the Nile reeds. He was found by Pharaoh's daughter, who took pity on him (Exodus ch.2) and raised him as her own son. (See: How did Moses know he was an Israelite?)
Moses was forced to flee after killing a cruel Egyptian taskmaster, and went to Midian, where he wedded the daughter of Jethro.
He eventually achieved the highest level of prophecy (Deuteronomy ch.34) and was called upon by God (Exodus ch.3). He brought the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery (Exodus ch.12). He received the Torah from God (Exodus 24:12) and later recorded it in writing (Deuteronomy 31:24). He went up on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights (Deuteronomy ch.9-10) and brought down the Two Stone Tablets with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18). He brought the Israelites into the covenant with God (Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), and he oversaw the building of the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.35-40). He was the humblest of men and the greatest of prophets (Numbers ch.12).

Moses never used those words. Rather, he said 1) The Israelites will ask Your name; 2) Who am I to speak to Pharaoh and to lead the Israelites; 3) The Israelites won't believe me; and 4) I stutter. For each of these questions which Moses raised, God provided an answer: 1) He revealed two of the Divine Names to Moses 2) He said that His Presence will be with Moses 3) He granted certain miraculous acts to Moses 4) He gave Aaron as a spokesman.
The main two complaints the Hebrew people had against Moses were the lack of good food and water.
It was Moses who received the written Ten Commandments (the two Stone Tablets) and conveyed them to the Israelites (Exodus 31:18).
In Exodus chapter 4, Moses gains confidence and performs miraculous signs to convince the Israelites and Pharaoh of his mission from God. In Exodus chapter 5, Moses and Aaron request Pharaoh to release the Israelites to worship, but Pharaoh responds by increasing the work burden on the Israelites. The Israelites blame Moses and Aaron for making their situation worse.

Moses led the Jews out of Egypt under God's guidance (Exodus, first 12 chapters); and he conveyed to them the two stone Tablets of the Ten Commandments (Exodus ch.24), as well as the rest of the Torah (Deuteronomy 31:9).
Joshua served under Moses: He was a leader of the Israelites in battle (Exodus 17) and with Moses when he received the 10 Commandments atop the mountain. (Exodus 32) He was the son of Nun (Numbers 11) and was one of only two -out of ten- men sent in to examine the Promised Land who came back with a favorable report. (Numbers 13) He was appointed by God to succeed Moses as leader of the Israelites (Numbers 27).
Moses is credited with receiving the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai, which became foundational to Jewish ethical and moral teachings. Additionally, Moses led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and established a covenant between them and God, laying the groundwork for the Jewish people's identity as a chosen people.
