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 did Moses and Abraham shape the history of the Hebrew people?

Answer 1Abraham shaped the Hebrew history by being told by God himself, or believed that He did tell him, to leave his own home, and settle into Canaan where his descendants-the Hebrews-- finally settled also, but later, some of the Hebrews moved to Egypt, (they moved to other parts of the world later). However, with the growth of the Hebrews, the pharaoh of Egypt, was worried the Hebrews soon might take over, and to stop that from happening, he made the Hebrews slaves.

Which story was Moses in?

Moses was in the Book of the Exodus, which describes the life of Moses. Moses was sent down the Nile River by his mother to save him from his death. The Pharaoh's wife finds Moses and takes him as a sign from the gods. Moses grows up as a prince of Egypt with Ramses II. Soon, Moses finds his sister, also finding out that he is not an Egyptian, but a Hebrew. He runs away from Egypt after killing an Egyptian while trying to protect a Hebrew slave. He lives in the desert for many years living with a tribe of Hebrews. One day, Moses finds the burning bush and received a message from God. He says that Moses must go back to Egypt to free his people. So Moses did as told, but the pharaoh, Ramses II, did not free the Hebrews. God got angry, and sent 10 plagues down on Egypt consisting of insects and gross bugs. On the last plague, Ramses's son died. Ramses agreed to have Moses's people go. when they made it to the Red Sea, Ramses decided to take back the decision and send his troops out to retrieve the Hebrews, but God let the Hebrews go through the Red Sea without harm and flushed all of Ramses's troops. Moses finds Canaan with all of the other Hebrews and lives a good life.
