How many Jews did not leave with Moses?
4/5 did not leave Egypt.
Shemot (Exodus) 13:18
So God led the people around [by] way of the desert [to] the Red Sea, and the children of Israel were armed when they went up out of Egypt.
The word for "armed" in the Torah is "חמשים" which can also translate as "one out of five" from the root word "חמש" meaning 5. In other words, only 1/5 of the Israelites departed from Egypt, and the other 4/5 died in Egypt during the 3 days of Darkness.
For more info on the matter (as I am not a Rabbi) watch the Related Link. At 14:10, Rabbi Brody could explain it better than I could.
Why is the story of exodus important to both Jews and non-Jews?
God has never endorsed man's pagan Easter (Ishtar) service in His Word... and its religious importance to men, claiming to be Christian is lost on Him.
The story of Israel's deliverance from death (by the Lamb's blood) and further bondage to Egypt (sin) is important to all mankind, however. Following their escape from Egypt (sin)... the pillars of the cloud by day and fire by night (Jesus Christ - I Cor.10:1-4) kept Pharaoh (Satan) and his army (demons) away from them, The cloud that followed them protected them and prevented Pharaoh (Satan) from capturing them and bringing them back into slavery to Egypt (sin).
The story of Israel's exodus from Egypt (sin) is important to all mankind, because at the end of their flight from Egypt (sin)... their backs were to the wall (the Red Sea; death) and all seemed lost. It seemed that Pharaoh's army (Satan and his demons) would win in the end. But the Red Sea parted... and the Israelites were delivered:
"...Fear ye not, stand still, and see the SALVATION OF THE LORD, which He will shew to you to day..." (Ex.14:13).
Pharaoh's army (Satan and his demons) and their threat disappeared as they passed through death to salvation on the other side.
Israel's exodus... deliverance... from Egypt (sin) is important to all mankind, because it reveals the salvation of Jesus Christ (the Almighty Creator God of the Old Testament - John 1:3) to the world... not through "Easter," the pagan goddess of feritility... but through God's commanded Holy Days, the Passover, which God does endorse for man to observe.
"...for even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast..." (I Cor.5:7-8).
Were is Moses found in the bible?
What does the story of Moses teach us?
JOSEPH AS A BOY, JOSEPH AS A SLAVE IN EGYPT, JOSEPH AS A PRISONER, JOSEPH AND HIS BROTHERS REUNITED. Love for his brothers, kindness and faith. Faith in God, when he was in prison and forgiveness, because he forgave his brothers for treating him unfairly. and great lessing to a nation. AGAPE LOVE DIVINE MINISTRIES,
What part of God did moses see?
From Exodus ch.33:
18 And [Moses] said: "Show me, please, Thy glory." 19 And [the Lord] said: "I will make all My goodness pass in front of you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy." 20 And [the Lord] said: "you cannot not see My face; for man shall not see Me and live." 21 And the LORD said: "Behold, there is a place with Me; and you will stand upon the rock. 22 And it shall come to pass, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand until I have passed by. 23 And I will take away My hand, and you will see My back; but My face shall not be seen."
"God's back" is understood as a lesser intensity of Divine revelation than "His face." His "hand" is also understood as not being completely literal.
Whom did Moses write the book of Genesis for?
It is not known exactly where he either wrote or compiled the writings. However, there were several lengthy periods where he may have had the time to do so. The Israelites camped for a lengthy period around Kadesh-Barnea, as is also evidenced by many pottery fragments from the relevant period. Obviously the Torah could not have been written prior to the Exodus, as it had not yet been given to Moses, and so it could not have been written while in Egypt for example.
Whether Moses actually wrote the original text of Genesis or acted as the editor who put it in its final form, he had time to do this during the 40 years in the wilderness before Israel entered Canaan. Particularly, a large part of this time was spent in the region of Kadesh-Barnea and so this is considered as a likely location for this work to have proceeded.
AnswerMoses did not write the book of Genesis, or at the very least it was edited heavily by later writers while in exile. There are date/knowledge errors in the book. AnswerThe currant view of some Biblical scholars...who definitely know more than I do about this subject, say that the Pentateuch was mostly oral knowledge passed down thru the centuries, and was written much later than the time of Moses. Genesis alone has two anachronisms that couldn't have been known till around 550-500 BC. Theoretically the Pentateuch was written somewhere about 1400-1500 BC. Even the Jewish people acknowledge that the book was put to paper or papyrus or whatever they used back then in the 500's BC.Why did Peter suggest he erect shelters for Jesus Moses and Elijah?
Mark:9:5-6:
5: And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6: For he wist not to say; for they were sore afraid.
What does the moses staff represent?
Jewish Midrash (Va Yosha 42-44) teaches that Moses received his staff from Jethro (and God) to earn Zipporah's hand for marriage. A great read is Goldin (2006):
The Family Book of Midrash: 52 Jewish Stories from the SagesWhat are facts about Moses' life?
Put very briefly:
1. As an adopted child of Pharaoh's daugher, and with an upbringing in the Pharaoh's palace, he would have had a very privileged upbringing - and would have been educated to a high standard.
2. As a Jew in exile, he was all too aware of the plight of his fellow countrymen and women - as they were treated as no more than slaves by subsequent Pharaohs.
3. As an adult, he was all to aware of social injustice, on one occassion killing with a blow a guard who was mistreating a Jew. This implies that he was well built and strong. By all accounts he was quite an attractive man
4. As a result he became a refugee.
5. When thinks quietened down. he returned and became the Jewish leader - he was charismatic and had great powers of leadership - and he became a Godly (despite his previous crime) man. Although as a leader, he was rather reluctant as he thought others more worthy. However, walking with God, he wished to obey his calling.
6. Sadly he complained of a 'slowness of speech' which we now take today to be a bad stammer, and so his brother aaron often acted as spokesman.
7. He was a determined man - so much so that he would not take 'no' as an answer when he bid the Pharaoh to let is people free.
8. There was a sense of frustration whilst Moses was ading the people out of Egypt. Despite his leadership in the ways of God, the people continued to rebel against God, much to Moses' anger.
9. Therefore he had a hard life after his initial affluent upbringing, and, although regarded as a great leader and prophet by the people was always self-effacing. Sadly he died before he could lead his pple in to the 'Promised Land' - that privilege being taken by his successor, Joshua.
Why was moses hesitant to answer God?
Moses objected to God's call because he didn't feel he was worthy. One of the reasons was that Moses had a speech impediment, and he didn't think the people would listen to him (literally and figuratively). Mostly, he was afraid.
How did God prepare Moses for his mission?
The 40 years he spent after he fled Egypt prepared him for the mission.
Answer:
Everything in Moses' life prepared him.
Perhaps the most important was Moses' being "saved" from death as a child... and reared as one of "Pharaoh's own."
"...she brought him [Moses] unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son..." (Ex.2:10).
This afforded Moses the "best education of that time" as an "elite" in the world-ruling Egyptian empire. He learned to read and write... and he had the best "library" of scrolls and manuscripts in the world [which very likely included pre-flood literature] from which to research and learn.
This, no doubt, prepared Moses to be able to pen his later inspired contribution to the Word of God.
No. Moses lived 3300 years ago, and (together with Abraham, who lived earlier) founded Judaism, as described in this linked page.
Islam, which began around 1400 years ago, was founded by Muhammad.
Moses had no powers of his own. The Lord worked his miracles through Moses.
What was Moses' name at birth?
Moses' Egyptian name means 'drawn out'. This is a reference to his having been drawn out of the Nile River where he had been placed by his mother. His Hebrew name that Yocheved chose for him was Toviah which means 'Good for God'. The whole account is in:
1And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. 2And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. 3And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. 4And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him. 5And 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. 6And 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. 7Then 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? 8And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother. 9And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the women took the child, and nursed it. 10And 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. It is worth noting that his name was given by the daughter of pharaoh specifically in relation to the drawing out from the water, as in v 10 above.
What is the connection between moses and the ten commandments?
The covenant is that if a man wishes to please God and to receive his salvation he will covenant with God to keep all of the commandments. One must also remember that the actual written covenants are but a guide, for their meaning goes much deeper than we imagine. Thou shalt not kill also means thou shall not think of killing. All of the commandments have added to them that to even think of breaking them is as bad as the actual act of breaking them
Was Moses really Ramses II brother?
Ramses was not Moses' brother. Moses was a Hebrew man. His parents were Hebrew. Ramses was Egyptian, his father was the Pharaoh of Egypt.
Moses mother put him in a waterproof basket and set him sail down the Nile river, with Moses older sister-Miriam as a child, following the basket with her brother in it, as it floated down toward toward one of Pharaoh's daughter.
What you have to know is that Pharaoh had given a decree that all Hebrew baby boys under 2 years old were to be killed, because the Pharaoh had heard that a deliverer would be born to rescue the Hebrew people from slavery.
in Hebrews 11:23 says "By faith Moses when he was born, was hid 3 months of his parents, because they saw he was an unusual child and they were not afraid of the king's commandment." (This is also seen in Exodus 2:2)
Exodus 1:21-22 says "And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that He made them families of their own. And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born you shall cast into the Nile river. But every baby girl you shall save alive."
So, in Exodus 2 Moses is born to Hebrew parents. The mother would not allow him to die. (Note: Moses is the younger brother of the priest Aaron and younger brother of Miriam the priestess who was later stricken with leprosy because she went against Moses authority...)
So Moses floats down the Nile in his basket where Pharaoh's barren daughter was bathing. She told her servant girl to retrieve the basket for her. Here is what it says..."During this time, a man and woman from the tribe of Levi (Levi was one of Jacob/Israel's 12 sons), got married. The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She saw what a beautiful baby he was and kept him hidden for 3 months. But when she could no longer hide him, she got a little basket made of bulrushes and daubed i with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein., and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. And his sister stood afar off to wit what would be done to him. Ad the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river, and her maiden walked along by the river's side. And when she saw the ark (basket) among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. And when she had opened it she saw the child and behold the baby wept. And she had compassion on him and said: This is one of the Hebrews' children. Then said his sister (Mariam) to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to you a nurse of the Hebrew women , that she may nurse the child for you? And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give you your wages. And the baby's mother took Moses and nursed him. And the child grew and the child's mother brought him unto back unto Pharaoh's daughter. The princess named him Moses, Because I drew you out of the water." that's found in Exodus 2:1-10.
Moses did grow up under his adopted mother (Pharaoh's daughter, the Princess). He thought he was the son of Pharaoh. He learned at the finest teachings available to a "prince" but one day he found out he was not Egyptian, but Hebrew. He did kill a man for hurting one of the Hebrew slaves. He was afraid and ran away to live in Midian where he met his wife and had children. He was living out there away from Pharaoh for 40 years. He had a great encounter with the Living God and God used Moses to free the Hebrew slaves from Pharaoh's son who had become in charge after his father's death.
It took 10 plagues, but the Jewish people came out of there with great wealth and crossed on dry land through the Red Sea, all the men, women, children and their new possessions crossed the sea before his closed up and drowned.
Pharaoh ended up letting the Hebrews go but then God hardened Pharaoh's heart and he took 600 of his chosen chariots and all the chariots that were in Egypt and all the rulers who commanded those chariots. His heart was hardened against the people of Israel and so he pursued them. They caught up with Israel who was encamped by the shore near Phahiroth. As Pharaoh and his vast army approached, the Hebrews panicked and they cried out to The LORD for help. Then they turned against Moses and start complaining that they were better off as slaves in Egypt. Moses told them to stand where they were and watch the LORD deliver them. He said THE LORD himself would fight for them. The Egyptians you see today, you won't see them ever again. God told Moses why are you crying to Me, tell the people to go forward. God told Moses to lift up his rod and stretch his hand over the Red Sea. God said He would get the honor over Pharaoh's big army and chariots. Then The Angel of THE LORD who had been leading them got in position behind them, so did the Pillar of Cloud. The Cloud settled between Israel and The Egyptians. And night came, the Pillar of Cloud became a Pillar of Fire for Israelite to see in their camp. But this same Cloud became darkness for Egyptians so they were not able to find where the Hebrews had gone. So Moses raised his hand over the sea and God caused a strong East wind to blow all night long, this made the sea dry land.
The waters were walled up on each side (on the right and on the left sides), but the sea ground was completely dry. So the Hebrews walked through the Red Sea on dry land. Then the Egyptians started coming on the dry ground as well.
All Pharaoh's horses and chariots and army got to the middle of the sea, which was still dry ground. In the morning God looked through the Pillar of Fire and saw the Egyptians, so He started messing with the Egyptians. He gave them great troubles. Their chariot wheels started falling off. They realized God was fighting for Israel, so they wanted to turn around and go back to Egypt.
But God told Moses to stretch his hand back over the sea to close it up. And it did close up and drowned those Egyptians in the sea. Pharaoh's entire army drowned. Everyone of the Egyptians who chased the Hebrews into the sea drowned. Not a single of those Egyptians survived. The Egyptian bodies began washing up on shore. So then the Hebrews feared the LORD God and put their faith in God and in Moses, God's servant. This is found in Exodus 14. In Exodus 15 Moses and the people sang a song of deliverance to God.

Who was Moses' Birth father in the bible?
The birth of Moses can be found in Exodus chapter 2 verse 2.
When Moses fled Egypt where did he live?
Moses fled to the land of Midian which was in the northwest Arabian Peninsula. This account is found in the Bible in the book of Exodus.
Exodus 2:15 When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well.
Was Moses' wife from Ethiopia?
No. Moses' wife, Tzipporah, was a Midianite (Exodus ch.2) who converted to the Israelite religion. See also:
Aarons' rod was a confirmation of his priesthood. Numbers 17:1-11
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and get from them a rod from each father's house, all their leaders according to their fathers' houses-twelve rods. Write each man's name on his rod. 3 And you shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi. For there shall be one rod for the head of each father's house. 4 Then you shall place them in the tabernacle of meeting before the Testimony, where I meet with you. 5 And it shall be that the rod of the man whom I choose will blossom; thus I will rid Myself of the complaints of the children of Israel, which they make against you."
6 So Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and each of their leaders gave him a rod apiece, for each leader according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. 7 And Moses placed the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
8 Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses went into the tabernacle of witness, and behold, the rod of Aaron, of the house of Levi, had sprouted and put forth buds, had produced blossoms and yielded ripe almonds. 9 Then Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his rod.
10 And the Lord said to Moses, "Bring Aaron's rod back before the Testimony, to be kept as a sign against the rebels, that you may put their complaints away from Me, lest they die." 11 Thus did Moses; just as the Lord had commanded him, so he did.
What is the law of moses called?
To Moses the Lord first gave the Higher Priesthood and revealed the fullness of the gospel. But Israel rebelled and manifest such gross unworthiness that their God took from them the power whereby they could have become a kingdom of priests and of kings and gave them instead a lesser law, a preparatory gospel. He gave them instead The Law of Moses.
They were the divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. They were the law of commandments contained in ordinances. When Christ came the law was done away with and the Higher Law was again restored. The Lord said "Behold, I say unto you the law if fulfilled that was given unto Moses".
What does the Israelites passage through the Red Sea symbolize for Christians?
Christians do not believe that the account of the Israelites passage through the Red Sea was merely symbolic, for a Christian, this account it true history. That said, what the account does symbolize/show is God's provision and his protection.
