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.

The Bible does not state explicitly how long this journey should have taken, but in the Book of Exodus beginning in chapter 32, it strongly suggest the journey would be quite short. It is only about 200 kilometers and even with a group between 600,000 to 3 million people, the Israelites would have begun to enter into Canaan within 2 weeks on foot - with the remaining forces continuing onward for probably another couple of weeks.
As with all people, even though the Israelites saw great miracles from God and had a very special leader in Moses, they soon tired of the delays and wanted to end the journey to begin anew as quickly as possible. Their thick headedness (testing God 10 times - see Numbers 14:22) caused delays and punishment which forbade the present generation from entering the Promised Land as they wandered in the desert for 40 years. The story is presented in Numbers 12 through 14 also.
Joseph and Moses are not directly related by blood. Joseph was one of the twelve sons of Jacob (also known as Israel), while Moses was a descendant of Levi, one of Jacob's sons. However, they are both significant figures in the history of the Israelites, with Joseph playing a key role in the story of the Exodus and Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt.
How many years between Moses and Jesus?
According to Sacred texts, Moses lived for one hundred and twenty years and the time period between him and Abraham was five hundred years, and the period between Moses and Jesus was one thousand and six hundred eighty years.
According to the Bible as we have it today, Moses died around 1400 BC. Jesus was born in either 4 or 5 BC. So the difference would be 1396 or 1395 years.
According to Deut. 34:7 "Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died."
What is an artifact that relates to Moses?
An artefact is something made by man, often of historical or archaeological importance. Strictly speaking, an artefact should be something that has been physically identified rather than something merely written about long ago. On this strict definition, we have no artefact related to Moses because none has been found. Since the story of Moses and the Exodus are regarded by over 90 per cent of scholars as not based on actual events, we are unlikely ever to find any artefact relating to Moses.
From a biblical point of view, the tablets containing the Ten Commandments is probably the key artefact, followed by the ark of the covenant and the mercy seat.
When did Moses receive the Ten Commandments?
Answer 1
1446 BC I believe, according to a time line I found online. Not sure if its totally dependable though.
Answer 2
One date which differs a little, although using exactly the same principles, as mentioned below, is that of 1440 BC. This is commonly referred to as the 'early date' for the Exodus and subsequent giving of the law and is in the same general range as the others. 1 Kings 6:1 (King James Version)
1And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
The date can be calculated based on a 961BC date for Solomons Temple, we then add the 480 years which arrives at 1441 BC for the Exodus. The 10 Commandments would have been received some time after that - probably in 1440 or later in 1441, depending on which month the Exodus began in. The verse below indicates it took 3 months to travel from Egypt to Sinai where the commandments were given to Moses.
Exodus 19:1 (King James Version)
1In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
Answer 3
Depending on how the chronology is calculated, it appears that he was given the ten commandments about the year 1513 BC.
Bible chronology is computed by counting bible periods from the known dates of corresponding prominent historical events.
A key date in calculating/extrapolating Bible dates is the date of the overthrow of the city of Babylon by the Medes and Persians under King Cyrus. This event is recorded both in the bible (Daniel 5:30) and in world history. From this date it is possible to compile tables both backwards and forward in time, thus providing a framework for dating other bible events. Using such dates, together with linking bible texts, it is possible to calculate, with reasonable accuracy, the dates of many events recorded in the bible, including the date of when Moses was given the ten commandments.
However, the historical dates of ancient events in history are sometimes disputed, so differing opinions may lead to slightly different dates being used as starting points. Consequently some may consider a year other than 1513 BC to be the date of this biblical event.
Answer:Jewish tradition places the receiving of the Ten Commandments in 1312 BCE.How many Psalms did Moses write?
"Psalms is a book, so technically, Solomon wrote a fraction of a book of Psalms." Yes, however, I think the intention of the question is how many Psalms did Solomon write. Psalm means song. From the book of Psalms, Solomon wrote 72 and 127. However, we are told in 1 Kings 4:29-34 that Solomon wrote 1,005 songs. We only two songs (Psalm 72 and 127) in the Old Testament unless you also count the book, the Song of Solomon, as the third.
What was the second law from moses?
The second commandment of Moses is outlined in the Old Testament as follows: "You shall have no other gods before me." This commandment emphasizes the importance of worshipping and honoring only one true God and avoiding the worship of false idols or deities.
Why was moses chosen to be a leader?
Moses was chosen to be a leader because he was considered a prophet, saw a burning bush that spoke to him, and was selected by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt to the Promised Land. His upbringing and experiences also prepared him for this significant role.
Jews worship in the home in a variety of ways. These include saying blessings and certain prayers, lighting candles before the Sabbath, as well as keeping kosher in the home.
According to our tradition, we can pray privately when necessary, but communal prayer in the synagogue has a much stronger effect (Talmud, Berakhot 7b-8a). Praying also strengthens the spiritual level and the bonds within the community.
How old was Joshua when he took Moses' place?
Joshua died at age 110.
He conquered the land for 7 years.
He divided the land for 7 years.
That would make him 96 years old when he took over for Moses.
However there's no clear information how long he lived after conquering and dividing the land - so he may have been younger.
-----
Reese Chronological Bible complied by Frank R. Klassen (Bethany House Publishers, 1977) indicates that the Israelites entered the Promised Land in 1422 B.C. (Joshua 1) and that Joshua died in 1372 B.C (Joshua 24:29). If this is true, this means that Joshua was in the Promised Land for 50 years. Since Joshua 24:29 says he died at the age of 110 years, this would imply that Joshua was 60 years old when he entered the land. Also, he would have been 20 years of age at the time he gave the good report to the nation of Israel. This agrees with Numbers 11:28.
With what does emerson credit moses plato and milton?
Emerson credits Moses with the strength of his convictions, Plato with his philosophical wisdom, and Milton with his poetic inspiration.
Where did Moses go and hid himself?
According to the Bible, after Moses killed an Egyptian and fled Egypt, he went to the land of Midian and settled there. He hid himself among the people of Midian and eventually married the daughter of a Midianite priest.
Was moses wrapped in a Hebrew blanket?
The Torah doesn't mention anything about a Hebrew blanket. That was from the movie, "The Ten Commandments" (1956).

Did Miriam go into the promise land?
No. Miriam was Moses older sister and Moses had died before the Israelites 40 years in the desert were over.
Who had the most influence on moses between the birth mother and pharoah's daughter?
Pharaoh's daughter had the most influence on Moses. She rescued him from the Nile and adopted him as her own son, raising him in the royal court. She provided him with a privileged upbringing and education, shaping him into a future leader.
Does Zipporah And Moses Ever Have A Child?
Yes, at least 2 children
Exodus 18:2-5 NIV (quick google search)
2 After Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro received her 3 and her two sons. One son was named Gershom,[a] for Moses said, "I have become a foreigner in a foreign land"; 4 and the other was named Eliezer,[b] for he said, "My father's God was my helper; he saved me from the sword of Pharaoh."
5 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, together with Moses' sons and wife, came to him in the wilderness, where he was camped near the mountain of God. 6 Jethro had sent word to him, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons."
What does moses mean in Hebrew?
Moses in Hebrew is moshe (משה) which which is most likely derived from Egyptian mes meaning "son", but could also possibly mean "deliver" in Hebrew.
Note: The meaning suggested in the Bible, "drew out" from Hebrew משה (mashah) is probably an invented etymology.
What were the strengths and weaknesses of Moses?
The Bible describes Moses as fearless and loyal, as when he killed the Egyptian who struck another Israelite. Other strengths given for Moses were his honesty and self-awareness. When the Lord chose him to lead the Israelites, he first said that he was not eloquent and would not make a good leader.
By killing the Egyptian and therefore committing a grave sin, he exposed his own moral weakness. Few other weaknesses are described in the text. A relevant, although indirect weakness concerns doubts about his very existence. Over 90 per cent of scholars are reported as believing that the Exodus never occurred as described in the Bible, implying that Moses, the great leader of the Exodus, never existed either.
Yes, if necessary. However, it is preferable for Jews to pray in groups (called minyanim).
Umm, maybe in my pocket? Hell yeah Moses come from my pocket!
In the b-b-b-b-bible? Seriously, I've never heard any mention of Moses having a stuttering problem anywhere except your question.
A possibility:The idea that Moses stuttered may come from what he said in Exodus 4:10 - Then Moses said to the Lord, "O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue." [NKJV]Why did God tell Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt?
It is related to Moses having reached a level of prophecy higher than that of any other prophet (Numbers ch.12, Deuteronomy ch.34). Because of that, he was chosen by God as the person most suitable to carry out the greatest missions (the leading of the Israelites out of Egypt and then across the Sea of Reeds, the receiving of the Torah, and the leading of the Israelites throughout the next forty years).
