According to Exodus, Moses was ordered by the Lord to lead the enslaved Hebrews to escape from ancient Egypt and go to the rich land: Canaan. After more than 40 years of trekking, he died when he was about to reach his destination.
Under the leadership of Moses, the Hebrews got rid of the miserable life of slaves, learned to observe the Ten Commandments, and became the first nation in history to worship monotheism.
Moses' life can be divided into three periods, each of which is forty years.
The first period was in Egypt.
The second period was herding sheep in the Midian wilderness.
In the third period, God called to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, across the Red Sea and across the wilderness.
Moses can be said to be a prophet, a priest, a legislator, a judge, a intercessor, a shepherd, a miracle maker and a founder of a country.
Moses; ; Hebrew:; Arabic:). The Catholic name is Moses and the Islamic name is Musa. His name in Hebrew means: Pull up from the water. Because Moses was just a baby and was put in a basket, Pharaoh's daughter rescued Moses from the water and named him.
The princess saved Moses and raised him as her own son. When Moses grew up, he accidentally killed a soldier who beat the Jews. In order to avoid Pharaoh's pursuit, Moses came to Midian and married Zipporah, the daughter of the priest, and gave birth to two sons, Gershon and Eliezer. One day, inspired by God, Moses returned to Egypt and led the Jews who lived in Egypt as slaves to leave there and return to Canaan, the promised land flowing with milk and honey.
Judaism regards Moses as the greatest prophet. He is the supreme leader of the Jews. He was a soldier, politician, poet, moralist, historian and Hebrew legislator. According to the Bible, he personally talked with God and was inspired by him to lead the Hebrews from Egypt to the promised land-Palestine (formerly known as Canaan) and liberate them from slavery. According to the bible. According to Exodus, when he led the Hebrews through the Red Sea, God separated the sea water to reveal a dry land water, and the sea water made a wall around them. The Hebrews crossed the sea like land.
When Egyptian soldiers chased the Red Sea, God sealed the sea and drowned the pursuers, enabling them to escape smoothly.
On Mount Sinai, he got the tablet of the Ten Commandments written by God himself, taught the Hebrews the commandments, laws and regulations, and built a tent of meeting. The commandments promulgated are the Ten Commandments of Moses. (exodus 19-40)
The Hebrews kept complaining because of their dissatisfaction, which led God to punish them for drifting in the wilderness for 40 years. It was not until the first generation who left Egypt died that they were taken to the promised land-Canaan. (Number Chapter 65438 +04)
Moses endured the unreasonable wandering life of the Hebrews in the wilderness for 40 years, and was angry because of the people's complaints. Instead of "ordering" the stone to fetch water according to God's will, he hit the stone with a stick to let the water flow out. God punished him and Aaron. Because you don't believe me and don't sanctify me in the eyes of Israel, you will not bring this congregation into the land I have given them. (Chapter 20 of Numbers)
When Moses was stationed in the plains of Moab, he led the Israelites to retaliate against the Midianites who cheated them. After that, God sent Moses to Mount Nebo. God showed Moses the promised land, but he couldn't go in. (No.21) [6]
After overlooking the promised land, Moses died on the mountain. God himself buried him in the valley opposite Beth Peor in Moab, but no one knows his grave until now.
Moses died at 120. No dim eyes, no mental decline. The Israelites mourned for Moses in the plains of Moab for thirty days, and the days of mourning and mourning for Moses were completed.
After that, there was no prophet like Moses in Israel. The Lord knew him face to face. The Lord sent him to do all kinds of signs and wonders in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, all his servants and all his land, and to do all great and terrible things in the sight of all Israel.
Moses led Israel to war five times in his life, and he won every time according to God's instructions! They went against the Amalekites, Canaanites, Ammonites and Midianites who challenged them. (exodus17: 8-4; Number 21:1-3; 2 1-23; 3 1; Deuteronomy 3:1-11; 2:24-37)
Moses was mentioned 767 times in the Old Testament and 79 times in the New Testament. It can be seen that Moses is a pivotal figure in the history of Israel and is admired by Jews.
He is a great figure in history, leading a group of slaves, shaping them into a nation in unimaginable difficulties, and influencing and changing the whole process of human history.
On the way to lead the Israelites to Canaan, Moses experienced the leadership challenges of his people, his sister Miriam and his brother Aaron, and finally continued to lead the Israelites with the approval of God. (No.12; Chapter 16)
The most famous period of Moses was probably in the 3rd century BC/KLOC-0, because it is generally believed that Pharaoh Ramses II in Exodus of the Bible died in BC 1237. After 847 years, Muhammad believed that Moses was a true prophet. With the spread of Islam, Moses became a respected figure in the whole Islamic world (even Egypt).
By 500 AD, his fame and prestige had spread to many parts of Europe together with Christianity. Today, more than 3000 years after his death, Moses is still respected by Jews, Christians and Muslims, and even by many atheists.
Joshua, the son of Nun, succeeded him to the throne.
Although Moses could not enter the land of Canaan before his death, his soul could enter the land of Canaan after his death. Jesus Christ was transfigured and shone on the big Bor mountain, showing a trance-like appearance. Then the prophets Moses and Elijah appeared on both sides of him, and Jesus talked with them. (Matthew 17: 1-9, Kyle 9:2-8, Luke 9: 28-36; 2 Peter 1 chapter 16 to 18).
