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.

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.
When did Moses free the Hebrews from slavery?
The Exodus from Egypt, described in the Old Testament book of that name, does not appear in any secular history. The book was written several centuries after the purported event. Assuming it actually occurred, it is not possible to determine a date.
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).
Which pharaoh confronted Moses?
According to Jewish dating, based on the Tanach (Jewish Bible), Moshe (Moses) confronted the Pharaoh in the year 2447 of the Hebrew calendar or the year 1313 BCE according to the Western calendar. This would make the Pharaoh in question Rameses I.
Recent archeological finds have found evidence supporting the exodus story based on the Jewish dating as opposed to Western dating methods.
Answer
The closest tie to the times is Thutmose II or III, who was pharoah in 1444 BC. He ruled for 54 years. Additional information from his mummy is that he had cysts that would have resulted from the plagues in Egypt and the Hittite Empire during those years. In 1906, clay tablets from the Hittite Empire corroborate with the events related in the Bible were found. Climate changes, including the rise of the Nile River also fit the times.

Is there A Sixth and seventh book of Moses? I only Know of 5 from Moses. and yes I love asking a question with a question.

Did Moses' mother claim Moses later?
Yes, Exodus 2:5-10 tells us of Pharaoh's daughter discovering Moses floating in the Nile river. Moses' sister, Miriam, suggested the idea of finding a Hebrew nurse to care for the child, Pharaoh's daughter agreed, and Miriam got her mother (Moses' mother) to do the job until Moses had grown. So Moses had regular contact with his mother growing up.
How do you commit idolatry every day?
You commit adultery every day when you look at someone or something lustfully. You also do it when your mind is impure or you have impure thoughts. And, obviously you commit adultery when you have sexual activity with someone who is not your wife or husband. This how adultery is commuted.
The answer is simple...we are all children of God...Moses was a man born completely of the flesh of both parents and not devine...There is also a story that the Angel of Death was instructed by God to take Moses' life but Moses turned the Angel away... Bismillah (In the name of God) Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 23, Number 423: Narrated Abu Huraira: The angel of death was sent to Moses and when he went to him, Moses slapped him severely, spoiling one of his eyes. The angel went back to his Lord, and said, "You sent me to a slave who does not want to die." Allah restored his eye and said, "Go back and tell him (i.e. Moses) to place his hand over the back of an ox, for he will be allowed to live for a number of years equal to the number of hairs coming under his hand." (So the angel came to him and told him the same). Then Moses asked, "O my Lord! What will be then?" He said, "Death will be then." He said, "(Let it be) now." He asked Allah that He bring him near the Sacred Land at a distance of a stone's throw. Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "Were I there I would show you the grave of Moses by the way near the red sand hill."
Who were the prophet Moses' parents?
Amram and Jochebed (Exodus 6:20)
The Hebrew Bible says Moses was the son of Amram and his wife Jochebed. They were members of the Levite tribes and immigrated to Egypt.
Exodus also says that Jochebed set Moses adrift on the Nile after the Pharaoh (unnamed) ordered all Hebrew born male children be killed. He was found and taken in by the Pharaoh's daughter.
What was Moses' title in the bible?
In respect for Moses' humility (Numbers 12), God did not give him a title. He can be correctly described as prophet, lawgiver, head of the tribes and the judges (see Exodus 18), and some say that he had the powers of a king (Nachmanides commentary on Deuteronomy 33:5), but no title is traditionally appended to his name, other than "rabbeinu" (our teacher).
