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.

Was the core of the Law the ten commandments given by God to moses?
Yes, you could say that. One reason why that is correct is that God spoke the Ten Commandments to all the Israelites (Exodus ch.19-20), while the rest of the Law (the Torah) was spoken to them through Moses (Exodus 24:12). Also, God himself inscribed the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18), while the rest of the Law (Torah) was penned by Moses (Deuteronomy ch.31).
Still, the Jews are not permitted to stress the Ten Commandments to a degree that would suggest that they're not as obligated to keep the entire Torah (Talmud, Berakhot 12a).

What does the Biblical name Moses mean?
It means "Born of a god" and it is originaly an Egyptian name
By way of a very complicated path, it means something like "withdrew".
The name is Biblical in origin. At the beginning of Exodus, Moses is placed in a basket as a newborn infant and floated in the Nile. Pharaoh's daughter hears the baby's cry, locates the floating basket, and takes it out of the water. She names the baby "Moses", or in Hebrew "mo-SHEH", explaining its connection with the phrase "from the water I WITHDREW him", and it's the Hebrew word for "withdrew" that gets adapted into the word "mo-SHEH" or Moses.
How could Moses son on slaves have access to the pharaoh?
First of all, Moses was not the son of slaves. According to tradition, the scholarly Tribe of Levi (Moses' tribe) was never enslaved.Second, Moses presented himself as a leader of the Israelites, so Pharaoh could have taken that into consideration.
Third, Moses had been raised in Pharaoh's palace (Exodus ch.2).
Fourth, we today do not know all of the circumstances. There have been kings who had set times to briefly meet with those coming to petition them, from whatever walk of life.
Did Moses' Egyptian mother go with him when the last plague hit?
Yes; according to tradition she lived long enough to join the Israelites in the Exodus.
Moses fled from Egypt as a felon because he murdered an Egyptian. Long before the burning bush, Moses knew that he was chosen by God to deliver the Israelites from the bondage of the Egyptians. He tried it his way, by murdering an Egyptian, and not God's way, thereby extending their wait for deliverance another 40 years. See: Acts 7:25 "For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not."
Was Moses considered to be the only Jewish prophet?
NO. He is not the only Jewish prophet or considered to be the first Jewish prophet (by Jews). However, Jews consider him to be the most important prophet because of his (1) closeness to God, (2) his actions in leading the Jewish people out of Egypt and slavery, and (3) his delivery of the Divine Law, which religious Jews still follow to this day.

Why is Deuteronomy the fifth book in the old testament?
The word means 'Second Law.' It is a recap of the writings in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers for this new generation of Israelites.
The Nation of Israel was ready to enter into the Promised Land after their long, 40 year sojourn in the desert. This was Moses' last chance to prepare the children for their new life in the land of their inheritance, especially since Moses himself, would not be going with them. Moses emphatically wanted to make sure this generation fully understood the Covenant the nation made with God.

Is it Joshua who alleged that Moses was an Israelite?
Joshua certainly would have believed Moses to be an Israelite, but nobody "alleged" that Moses was an Israelite. Moses was an Israelite because of his ancestry and because of his connection to the people and he believed he was an Israelite.
What danger is there in saying Moses did not write the five books?
It has been established beyond reasonable doubt that Moses did not write the first five books of the Bible, known to Christians as the Pentateuch. If Christianity is based on fact, then there can be no danger in accepting the facts as they are. Only fallacious religions need fear their followers learning that not all traditions are actually true.
Answer 2
If the question is asking "What earthly peril befalls a person who suggests that Moses did not write the Pentateuch?" then the answer is contingent on history, not the authorship of the Pentateuch.
While currently both Jewish and Christian communities accept and tolerate the "blasphemy" that Moses did not write the Pentateuch (although will not believe it themselves), there are no earthly penalties or retributions taken for this affront. Historically, Jews would punish those who committed blasphemy, advocated for it, and failed to retract it with excommunication. This effectively prevented a person from making a living or intermingling in society. Christian punishments were typically much more severe, resulting in torture in many "inventive" forms, forced recanting of "blasphemous speech", and execution in certain cases.
Was Moses willing to sacrifice his son to show obedience to God?
Yes, he was willing to sacrifice the only son he could ever have to be loyal to God but God let him keep his son because he was faithful enough to do it. I hope this is helpful.
Why did Moses order the killing of the Midianite Children?
I will never believe that god told the Israelites to kill the Midianite Children and take the virgin Midianite girls for their own selfish pleasures. That's just like believing that those that kill in the name of Allah and is killed will go to heaven and be granted 100 virgins. But why did moses still order the killing of the Midianite Children?
What does the word heave mean in the Bible?

What book in the bible do you find the story of moses preaches to the people about the covenant?
Exodus ch.19, among other verses.
Did Moses of the Bible have a speech impairment?
Yes....He stuttered
AnswerExodus 4:10 - 'Moses said to the LORD, "O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.'An actual problem is not specified, but it could be that Moses considered himself not up to the public speaking required of him.
Better Answer
No, Actually Moses said to the Lord that he was not up to the job, but in the New Testament, Stephen tesitfied that Moses was a great and powerful speaker. Moses, probably, said that he was not up to the job of leading the people out of bondage because Moses was very humble, more than any man who was on the face of the earth.) Num 12:3 (NASB77) Stephen's statement was a truthful statement. In addition, Moses was always the one doing the talking before the leaders and the people, and he was never said to have stuttered, nor was said to have spoken in any embarrasing manner.
