Best Answer

The story of Moses leading the Israelites is found in the Book of Exodus, which is considered to be part of the Deuteronomic History. This was written down by an anonymous author now known as the Deuteronomist during the seventh-century-BCE reign of King Josiah of Judah. Although written down more or less in the form we know today by the Deuteronomist, there was undoubtedly an earlier written or oral source that the Deuteronomist relied on.

Moses is not traditionally remembered as a warrior, but rather as a prophet and leader of the Israelites. His story in the Bible focuses on his role in leading the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and receiving the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai. While Moses displayed courage and strength in his leadership, he is not depicted as a warrior in the same way as figures like Joshua or David.


How are Joshua leading the Israelites across the Jordan River and Moses leading them across the Red Sea the same?

Some of the key biblical events around Moses had quite close parallels in the story of Joshua. In the Exodus story, Joshua accompanied Moses onto the mountain, and was the only person other than Moses who could enter the tabernacle. In the Book of Exodus, Moses held out his rod and parted the Red Sea. The importance of the priests was given greater emphasis in the Book of Joshua, and as soon as their feet touched the waters of the Jordan, the waters stopped flowing and the people could cross. In the first case, parting the water allowed the Israelites to cross over and defeat the Egyptians who were pursuing them; in the second case, parting the water allowed the Israelites to cross over and defeat the Canaanites who were before them.


How did Miriam influenced and encouraged Moses?

Miriam saved her brother Moses. This well-known story shows that the survival of the leader of the Exodus, Moses, depended on the courage and ingenuity of one young woman, his sister Miriam. Miriam's role as a leader of the Hebrew women was obviously more extensive than is shown in the biblical text. Despite her personal charisma and power, her story has to a large extent been subsumed into the story of her brother Moses. As well, Miriam went on to travel with Moses and Aaron and the Israelites for almost 40 years in the desert.

What did Moses receive from god during the Israelite's wanderings in the Sinai desert?

The Torah, in the book of Exodus, recounts a story of an encounter with God on Mount Sinai, where God gave Moses the 2 stone tablets on which were engraved the 10 commandments -- twice because Moses threw down and broke the first set when he came down from the mountain and found the Israelites engaging in idolatrous behavior. Jewish tradition holds that God dictated the entire Torah to Moses on the mountain top, and in addition, later Jewish tradition holds that God explained the Torah to Moses, and that Moses passed on this explanation, starting an oral tradition that continues to this day.


What did God command to Moses?

After Moses ha fled Egypt God came unto him in the form of a burning bush and told him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt due to the forced labor they underwent for Pharaoh. Moses protested saying he was not a great speaker so God allowed Aaron to speak for him. Moses appeared before he elders and turned his staff into a serpent so they would believe him. He then performed the miracle before Pharaoh but God had hardened his heart so he would not allow the Israelites to leave. After the the death of the first born son, with Passover for the Israelites, Pharaoh chased them out of Egypt. Moses then received the Ten Commandments and the miracle of manna.
