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 was Abraham the first to believe in?
Abraham was not the first to believe in the God who would be the God of the Israelites, because Genesis says that he met a priest of this God. Based on this account, there must have already been an entire community that also believed in God.
Abraham was not necessarily the first to believe in one God alone, as the Bible never attributes monotheism to him. A well known Jewish midrash has it that Abraham, while still a young boy, realised that his father's idols had no power, and perceived that there is but one God. But midrashim are no more than rabbinical opinions and can not be relied on as evidence of events said to have occurred almost two thousand years earlier.

What was the role of moses in the salvation history?
Moses was born in 1392 BCE. Pharaoh had decreed that Israelite boys be killed (Exodus ch.1), but the daughter of Pharaoh took pity on the infant Moses (Exodus ch.2) and raised him as her own son. He 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).
Why is Moses valuable in history?
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.

Did Grandma Moses go to school?
What was moses work that took him out into the desert?
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I."

Describe the deposit of faith?
In Christianity the belief regarding the deposit of faith is split into two factions. The Catholic (incorporating Roman Catholic, Orthodox and Coptic churches) and the Protestant.
The Catholic view of the deposit of faith is roughly this: Christ left behind all the information that was needed (Public Revalation), in both textual and verbal instructions. These textual instructions are known as Scripture, and these verbal instructions as Tradition (note the capital "T"). The verbal instructions were teachings but the correct interpretation of scripture and the words of Christ, being instilled in the Apostles who then instilled these teachings regarding scripture etc. in those they ordained to take their places. While this Tradition is not recorded in scripture itself, it is recorded in the teachings of the fathers of the church in the early years (for example in the writings of Polycarp and his disciple Ignatius) and it is echoed through the teachings of the church down the ages.
In the Protestant view, the deposit of faith Is contained in its entireity within the passages of Scripture. There was no verbal tradition, therefore aby doctrine which cannot be verified through direct reference to scripture aught be dismissed.
A similar situation exists in Islam, with the Quaran, the Sunnah and the Hadith. All three of these things are viewed as the deposit of faith however various sects within Islam debate which parts are legitimate and which are not.
What year did Moses lead the people from Egypt?
According to ARKDiscovery.com, it was around Egypt's 18th Dynasty. Because when the born-again Christian archaeologist Ron Wyatt & his friends went scuba diving down in the Gulf of Aqaba (the right "finger" of the Red Sea), they found human bones, horses bones and hooves, and chariot down there. These wheels were 4-spoke, 6-spoke, & 8-spoke. When they brought the pictures to an Antiquity Department in Egypt, they said, 'This is from the 18th Dynasty, because that's the only won that used 4, 6, & 8 spoke-chariot wheels at the same time.'
c.1290 B.C. was when Moses leaded the Israelites back to Canaan, or "The Promise Land". Moses received the Torah on Mount Sinai on there way back, where he received the Ten Commandments.
This is right I'm not kidding!!!
ps: Mt Sinai is not in "Sinai peninsula" - history shows that some Phoenician princess was wandering around there in a wagon, pointed at the mountain and said, 'Wow, that's Mt Sinai!' They said, 'How do you know?' 'Oh I just think it is.' 'Yes m'am.' But she didn't know. The Bible clealrty says in galatians 4:25 that "Mt. Sinai is in Arabia"!
Moses was a former Egyptian prince later turned prophet, religious leader and lawgiver, to whom the authorship of the Torah is traditionally attributed. He was from the tribe of Levi. In 1445 bc five years after Death of Thutmose III's death, Moses returns to Egypt. (Exodus 4:18-7:13) He then becomes the leader of the Israeli.
What were the consequences of Moses' and Aaron' actions?

Where is judgment is mine saith the Lord in the Bible?
It's not there. How about: "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." (Romans, chapter 12: verse 19)
Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
This verse makes reference to Deuteronomy 32:35.
Who was the mother of Moses and where can she be found in the Bible?
(Exodus 6:20) "...Now Am′ram took Jochebed his father's sister as his wife. Later she bore him Aaron and Moses. And the years of Am′ram's life were a hundred and thirty-seven years...."(Numbers 26:58-59)
(Exodus 2:6-10) ". . .. So Phar′aoh's daughter said to her: "Go!" At once the maiden went and called the child's mother. Phar′aoh's daughter then said to her: "Take this child with you and nurse him for me, and I myself shall give you your wages." Accordingly the woman took the child and nursed him...."
The Bible says that Amram married "his father's sister", Jochebed. This was allowable in that time period, but later was prohibited in the Mosaic Law. (Leviticus 18:12)
She was the "Hebrew woman" that Miriam got to nurse Moses for Pharaoh's daughter.
Is there any historical evidence outside the Bible for the Ten Plagues of Egypt?
There is no extra-biblical evidence for the ten plagues of Egypt. These plagues would surely have caused great economic and social stress, yet there is no archaeological evidence for this, and Egypt continued on at the height of its economic and military power for several centuries. The ancient Egyptian texts do not mention the supposed plagues, even indirectly. Alpologists would claim that the Egyptians would choose not to record anything negative abouth the kingdom, but much of the writing that has come down to us consists of commercial transactions, correspondence and trivia about life in Egypt. The plagues should at least be reflected in this minutiae, yet life went on blissfully.
- Answer 2
The plagues were also described by ancient historians, including Herodotus and Diodorus. The Exodus is mentioned by Strabo, Berosus, Artapanus, Numenius, Justin, and Tacitus.
But in any case, few nations are content to record embarrassing setbacks honestly. Even today, British and American textbooks describe the American Revolution in very different ways.
An example of the above principle:
The destruction of Sennacherib's army at the walls of Jerusalem was denied by secular theorists, because the Assyrians made no mention of it. But then it was found that Berosus and Herodotus both state that Sennacherib's military campaign in Judea ended in plague and defeat. It should not surprise us that the Assyrians themselves didn't record their own losses.
It is only the Hebrew Bible, because of its Divine origin, that exposes the faults of its own people and even magnifies them.
In no other religious text can one find such openness. None of the Israelites were immune to strong criticism: Abraham (Genesis 16:5), Reuben (Gen.ch.35), Simeon and Levi (Gen.ch.34 and 49), Judah (Gen.ch.38), Joseph's brothers (Gen.ch.37), Moses (Numbers ch.20), Aaron (Exodus 32:2-4), Samson (Judges 14:1-3), Eli's sons (1 Samuel 2:12), Samuel's sons (1 Samuel 8:1-3), Saul (1 Samuel ch.15), David (2 Samuel ch.11-12), Solomon (1 Kings ch.11), and many others.
It means that there is no in between in being a Christian. You are either a full-on Christian ("Hot") or you are not ("Cold"). You are either Gods' friend ("Hot") or you are His enemy ("Cold"). Note: If you are not His friend, then you are His enemy. This is what God says about it, not me. "Lukewarm" means that God really dislikes people that refuse to make a choice, e.g.when a person says something like, "Oh, I'm not God's enemy or anything, I'm just still thinking about it." In that case He will spit them out of His mouth like stale, nasty water. An interesting side-note about this passage is the placement of the city of Laodicea. It was between two sources of water that still exist today, although not near as plentiful as they were 2,000 years ago. In one direction lay a natural hot spring of calcium-rich water, while in the other lay a natural source of cold water. The people of Laodicea tried to channel both streams into their city. The distance was so great, though, that by the time the waters reached the city, the hot water had cooled off, and the cold water had warmed up, leaving both literally lukewarm and undesirable. (The calcium-rich stream was, in fact, bitter to the taste and poisonous.) God was using this natural occurrance as an illustration of the spiritual condition of the "Christians" in that city at the time; both had strayed so far from their source that they were worse than useless, they were repulsive.
What is the biblical meaning of shittin wood?

Moses is not traditionally remembered as a warrior, but rather as a prophet and leader of the Israelites. His story in the Bible focuses on his role in leading the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and receiving the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai. While Moses displayed courage and strength in his leadership, he is not depicted as a warrior in the same way as figures like Joshua or David.
Which book in the bible does Moses appear in?
he appears in exodus, leviticus, and, numbers. his successor became joshua!!
Note that the precise location of the splitting of the Sea of Reeds is no longer known for sure.
An answer is found in Exodus 1:8, which you may think means that Egypt forgot Joseph. However, it does not state that. Rather, "the king of Egypt did not know Joseph" (Exodus 1:8), which does not necessarily mean that every Egyptian no longer knew of him. To this day there is an ancient aqueduct there, which the locals have always called "Joseph's waterway."
Moreover, it may be that the king found it politically convenient to deliberately turn away from the memory of Joseph, as opposed to having literally been unaware of him (Rashi commentary, ibid., quoting two Talmudic opinions concerning this possibility).
If, however, your intention is that they forgot the Plagues, that is not stated anywhere. Rather, they considered the matter and Pharaoh commanded his army to sortie against the exiting Israelites (Exodus ch.14), despite the plagues that had happened.
