Moses
Moses is the most important prophet in Judaism and is also important in Christianity and Islam. Moses led the Israelites out of their slavery in Egypt, miraculously crossing a divided Red Sea. At Mount Sinai he received the Ten Commandments. He led the Israelites through 40 years of desert wandering and finally to the Promised Land. He died there, within sight of his goal, at the age of 120.

Did Moses have a sister named Miriam?

Who was the Pharaoh during the plagues and the Exodus?
Moses is famous for essentially two things. As a leader he brought the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt. As a man who was brought up in pharaoh's house and educated with 'all the learning of the Egyptians', he evidently knew how to write, since he is also credited with authorship of the Pentateuch. In regard to the last four books, he was a personal participant in much that transpired. In relation to Genesis, he evidently either recorded or else edited previous material.

What is the history of ten plagues of Egypt in the Bible?
Historically, the Ten Plagues occurred over the course of one year (Mishna, Eduyot ch.2), which according to traditional chronology was 1313-1312 BCE. The plagues, in order, were: Blood, frogs, lice, swarms of animals, death to the flocks, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, death to the firstborn.
After the Plagues, Egypt was in turmoil for decades, as we may understand from the Ipuwer papyri (Professor John van Seters, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50). This (and evidence for the Exodus in general) may be seen here:http://www.academia.edu/1651319/Is_the_Exodus_Story_Possible

In Exodus 2:12 he killed an Egyptian for beating a Hebrew and then in Exodus 2:15 he fled from his punishment. However, throughout the rest of his life, God was able to use him. That is amazing!

And his sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.
Exodus 2: 2-4
What happened to the body of Moses?
Moses was buried in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor. This area of Moab is on the Southeastern side of the 'Salt Sea'. It is written in Deuteronomy, "So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord. And he buried him (Moses) in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day." (Deu. 34:5 & 6)
How did Moses feel when he realized what God wanted him to do?
When Moses came down with the ten commandments, he saw a sight that angered him. The Hebrew people melted all their gold and made a golden calf. Not only did they make a calf idol they were worshiping it. Strictly against the very first commandment of god.
Another answer from our community:
Not quite.
Moses promised the coming advent of Jesus when he said in Deuteronomy 18.15. "The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;"
Yes, of course. The Torah records the many words he spoke in Hebrew, many of which are direct quotes.
The fact that Moses was a real person is recorded by ancient non-Jewish writers going back over 2,300 years, including Hecataeus, Strabo, Alexander Polyhistor, Manetho, Apion, Chaeremon, Tacitus, and Porphyry. Non-religious ancient Jewish sources mention him too, such as Artapanus, Eupolemus, Josephus and Philo.
Dr. William Albright, who was probably the foremost authority in Middle East archaeology in his time, said: "There can be no doubt that archaeology has confirmed the substantial historicity of the Old Testament." And a quote from a researcher named Norman Geisler: "In every period of Old Testament history, we find that there is good evidence from archaeology that the Scriptures speak the truth. In many instances, the Scriptures even reflect firsthand knowledge of the times and customs it describes. While many have doubted the accuracy of the Bible, time and continued research have consistently demonstrated that the Word of God is better informed than its critics.
"In fact, while thousands of finds from the ancient world support in broad outline and often in detail the biblical picture, not one incontrovertible find has ever contradicted the Bible."
How was Moses related to Ramses?
Moses and Ramses were not related by blood, but as Moses was adopted.
Did Moses write the Book of Joshua?
One thought:
God himself wrote the ten commandments and handed it over to Moses on Mount Sinai.
Exodus 31:18 (NIV)When the LORD finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.
Exodus 32:15-16Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands. They were inscribed on both sides, front and back.The tablets were the work of God; the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets. (Deuteronomy 4:13; 5:22; 9:10)
Even after Moses broke the first two tablets(Exodus 32:19), the second set of Ten Commandments were also written by God himself(Exodus 34:1-4) .
God had Moses rewrite alot of the other details pertaining to the covenant with Israel(Ex 24:3, 4/ 34:27), but the Ten 'Words' (or Ten Commandments) were written by God himself both times, though the tablets were 'carved out' or prepared, by Moses.(Deuteronomy 10:1-4)
More Information:
Moses wrote what is known as the "book of the law", which was placed by the side of the ark of the covenant (Deuteronomy 31:24-26). As apposed to the ten commandments that were written by God Himself, which were placed inside the ark.
Why Moses received the Ten Commandments?
Moses received two sets of commandments. The first were of the Higher Law which God had prepared for the people. But there disobedience while Moses was receiving them caused God to give them a Lower or Lesser Law. This Lesser Law was lived until the birth of Christ when He once again brought the Higher Law to the people..
The Exodus was in 1445 BC ( dated according to Ussher) and Moses was then 80 years old:-.
Exo 7:7 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
Deu 34:7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years oldwhen he died:...
This means that Moses died in 1405 BCE
AnswerIt is generally accepted by Christians that the Israelite journey into Egypt would have taken place about 1870 BCE. According to Genesis, Moses' grandfather, Kohath, was alive when the Israelites travelled to Egypt and lived 133 years, while Moses' father, Amran, lived 137 years. We do not know how old Kohath was when he went to Egypt, but if he and his son Amran were capable of fathering a child at any time between puberty and the year of their deaths, then Moses was born between about 1855-1600 BCE and, living to 120 years old, died between 1735 and 1480 BCE.The Bible literally tells us that the Exodus from Egypt took place approximately 1444 BCE, based on 1 Kings 6:1, which states that the Exodus was 480 years before the fourth year of Solomon's reign. Moses lived a further forty years so, and living to the age of 120 years, was born approximately 1524 BCE and died approximately 1404 BCE.
From a historical point of view, there probably was no moses and therefore we can not say that Moses died. Over ninety per cent of scholars are reported to believe that the central event in his life, the Exodus from Egypt, never occurred as described in the Bible.
AnswerMost accept that Moses died on 7 Adar 2488 - or February/March 1271 B.C.Moses' brother was Aaron, and their sister was Miriam (Numbers 26:59). See also:
That he will lead his people to the promised land.
Answer:
The covenant between God and the Israelite nation (see Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), was made in the time of Moses, with Moses serving as the messenger.
This covenant is one of obedience, to listen to God's voice (Exodus 19:5), which will include the entire Torah (24:12). The covenant was manifested through God's giving the Ten Commandments (Exodus ch.19-20), and was finalized (on our part) through the sacrifices described in Exodus ch.24.
God, for His part, promised:
1) To give the land of milk and honey (aka The promised land) to the Israelites (Exodus ch.3).
2) To redeem them from the Egyptian slavery and smite the Egyptians (Exodus ch. 3-4; see also Genesis ch.15).
3) To give them the wealth of Egypt (Genesis ch.15; Exodus ch.3).
4) To give them the Torah (Exodus 24:12).
5) To cherish them as a treasure (Exodus ch.19; Deuteronomy 26:16-19).
6) To drive the Canaanites out of the Promised Land (Exodus ch.23).
7) To do unparalleled miracles for them (Exodus ch.34).
8) To dwell among them (Exodus ch.25).
9) To give them large families, wine and oil, and livestock (Deuteronomy ch.7).
10) To give them prophets (Deuteronomy ch.18).
11) To return His presence and blessings to them in the end of days (Deuteronomy ch.30).
According to tradition, Orpah (from the Book of Ruth) was Ruth's sister.
God chooses whomever He wants. God is sovereign and most of the time what God does is by His own choosing. We have no idea what is in God's mind many times.
One thing is sure if God chooses a person to do something, God will give them the ability to do whatever God wants.
Further thoughts:
Numbers 12:3 tells us that "...Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth."(NIV) He never attempted to become an 'invincible ruler' over Israel, but always recognized his limitations(Exodus 4:10-17) recognizing God as ruler. This certainly was a quality that God could appreciate and work with. For this reason he was called "the man of God" (Ezra 3:2KJV). Despite his education and power(Acts 7:20-22), he remained humble (meek/teachable) and devoted to God (Deuteronomy 31:30-32:4), as described at Hebrews 11:24-29.
Why did Moses go up to the mountain?
Moses went up in obedience to God's command. While up there, God gave him the Ten Commandments and a wide range of other instructions.
=== === And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
