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.

When did the story of Moses take place?

According to traditional chronology, Moses was born in 1392 BCE and died in 1272 BCE.

Moses was an Israelite, a great-great grandson of Jacob. He was born 245 years after the death of Abraham. The time when Moses was born was when the Pharaoh had ordered his people to kill all Israelite male infants because he (Pharaoh) was afraid that the Israelites would become too strong for him (Exodus ch.1-2).

Moses' mother didn't want him to die. So she made a basket for him and put him in it to float in the Nile reeds. He was found by Pharaoh's daughter, who took pity on him (Exodus ch.2) and raised him as her own son.

Moses was forced to flee after killing a cruel Egyptian taskmaster, and went to Midian, where he wedded the daughter of Jethro.

He eventually achieved the highest level of prophecy (Deuteronomy ch.34) and was called upon by God (Exodus ch.3). He brought the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery (Exodus ch.12). He received the Torah from God (Exodus 24:12) and later recorded it in writing (Deuteronomy 31:24). He went up on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights (Deuteronomy ch.9-10) and brought down the Two Stone Tablets with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18). He brought the Israelites into the covenant with God (Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), and he oversaw the building of the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.35-40). He was the humblest of men and the greatest of prophets (Numbers ch.12).

More about Moses

Did god want moses to drop the ten commanments?

Absolutely not. Originally, God wrote the ten commandments on two tables of stone (Exodus 31:18 - "written with the finger of God." and Exodus 32:16 - "And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables."). When Moses saw the people were doing lots of bad things, he smashed the tablets (Exodus 32:19). Moses had to cut two more tablets and go back to talk with God. This time, Moses had to create new tablets (Exodus 34:28).

What were Moses' followers called?

Hebrews or Israelites. They weren't called Jews until about 1000 years after.

What is the stone that Moses carry's?

What was the covenat that Moses had with God?

What can we learn from Moses in the book of Leviticus?

All the laws of Leviticus. However, concerning Moses' personality we don't see very much in Leviticus, since according to tradition the Torah was dictated by God (Exodus 24:12) and Leviticus contains almost no descriptions of events. It is all laws. Even when it is Moses speaking or doing something (see Leviticus ch.8), he is doing so according to God's exact words. To learn about Moses, you would want to see Exodus, Numbers, plus a few passages in Deuteronomy.


There is, however, one passage in Leviticus (10:16-20) which is very significant. In it, Aaron corrects Moses for having forgotten the proper application of a certain law, and Moses immediately accepts Aaron's correction, implicitly admitting his mistake. This shows Moses' humility (see Numbers ch.12) and the fact that he knew that obedience to God is more important than his own honor.

To Jews this has the further significance of informing our belief that any human claiming infallibility is, by definition, a falsifier. If Moses could err, any human can and will err too.


It should be pointed out that Moses' expressing his displeasure (10:16) should not be seen as meaning that Moses was ever prone to anger. In every case in which Moses does this (Exodus 16:20, Numbers 31:14), it is in response to a violation (or a perceived violation) against a Torah-matter. He expressed displeasure to show the importance of obedience to God. Moreover, the Hebrew word for actual anger is not used in these passages.

Moses' biography

What is the origin of the myth about Moses?

A:

First it is necessary to establish that the story of Moses and the Exodus really is a myth. Some of the most compelling evidence for this is the discovery by archaeologists that the Israelites did not take over the Canaanite cities by force, as described in the Book of Joshua, but were actually Canaanites who left the region of the rich coastal cities to settle in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland. Further evidence comes from Egypt, where nothing in the considerable volume of Egyptian records ever mentions or implies that a large number of slaves had left the country. And too much of the biblical story is inconsistent with what we now know about history. Nearly all scholars now believe there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible.

Some of what we read in the story of the Exodus could point to an origin for what must now be recognised as a myth. Scholars have established that the early Israelites worshipped the same gods as their neighbours, except that a new God, known to them as YHWH (believed to be pronounced 'Yahweh') arrived around 1000 BCE, probably from the south. They have also found an Egyptian reference to a Midianite storm god, YHW. One hypothesis is that a small band of slaves really did escape from Egypt and was rescued in the desert by the Midianites. The slaves attributed their good fortune to YHW and adopted him as their patron god. Leaving the Midianites, they travelled north, where they met up with the Hebrew people of Judah, bringing news of their beneficent god. Whether or not one of these escapees had a name similar to 'Moses', this could well have been the origin of the myth about Moses and the Exodus.
