Moses (Hebrew: מֹשֶׁה, Modern Moshe Tiberian Mōšé; Greek: Mωϋσῆς Mōüsēs in both the Septuagint and the New Testament; Arabic: موسىٰ, Mūsa) was, according to the Hebrew Bible, a religious leader, lawgiver, and prophet, to whom the authorship of the Torah is traditionally attributed. Also called Moshe Rabbenu in Hebrew (Hebrew: מֹשֶׁה רַבֵּנוּ, Lit. "Moses our Teacher/Rabbi.
According to the Book of Exodus, Moses was born in a time when his people, the Children of Israel, were increasing in number and the Egyptian Pharaoh was worried that they might help Egypt's enemies. Moses' Hebrew mother, Jochebed, hid him when the Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed. He ended up being adopted into the Egyptian royal family. After killing an Egyptian slave-master, Moses fled across the Red Sea to Midian where he tended the flocks of Jethro, a priest of Midian on the slopes of Mt. Horeb. After the Ten Plagues were unleashed on Egypt, Moses led the Exodus of the Hebrew people out of Egypt and across the Red Sea, after which they based themselves at Mount Sinai and compassed the borders of Edom. It was at this time that Moses received the Ten Commandments. Despite living to the age of 120, Moses died before reaching the Land of Israel.
A retelling of the bible story. Pharaoh Ramses decrees the death of all Hebrew children, but Moses, placed in a basket in the Nile by his mother, is taken by a royal princess and raised as the brother of the heir to the throne of Egypt, Memefta. Moses is called by God to lead his people from Egypt to the promised land. A very reluctant prophet, feeling unworthy of the call, Moses accepts the task. After a series of plagues Memefta agrees to let the Hebrews go. With second thoughts, he pursues them to annihilation of his army in the parting of the Red Sea. Starvation is averted by manna from heaven, the ten commandments are given the people through Moses, they go astray with worship of the golden calf. Forty years of wandering in the wilderness, until finally they reach what will be their home (which Moses lives to see but not to enter).
We seek the truth, yet we do not seek God's mercy, because the truth is hard to find, and only God possesses it. How can we be like this? Is this what our fathers taught us? Is this the peace and love everyone seeks? I think not... It is not for me to decide, and we are all blind... Let God guide us all and wake us up, make us see! Do not doubt his power, believe in it, and we shall see His wonders!

You ask yourselves why. You ask yourselves why did Israel do that. You think that we wouldn't, and blame them for everything. Blame! Do they deserve it? Arent we the same?! We live in sins! Are we good enough so that God would turn his face to us? Are we any different from those people back then, who still didn't believe, after all they saw? No! We're not different at all. We see wonders every day, but we forget to thank our Lord. ...

@pm12charlier I believe that God Blesses the whole world with No Exceptions, even animals are Gods creatures. I abide by Christs Law and "render unto Caesar, that which is his". Try to check out the excellent film Apocalypsis Revelation, with Richard Harris as St. John. Moses, Paul and John, the Alpha and Omega, the Old and the New, both are valid and we are all free as created by God. Ultimately its what you see in your heart. God speaks to us in different ways, but HE is the same God of all.

@ajrimmer10 then you don't quite understand the love of God, the animal sacrifices, are always because of sin, it is a substitute for the person who committed the sin. example, you break a law of the land, lets say grand theft auto, you make bail as in you pay money so that you don't have to do jail time. what is that?? substitution.so we see (though that is a poor and weak example) that substitution is used till this day, the difference is the severity (sin) and the the method of substitution.

This is barbaric. If even one person (or animal for that matter) has to be sacrificed in the name of God, then that law can be neither spiritual or good. These people killed their own. Too much guilt and vengeance for those who claim to be in touch with God. Thankfully most of us have moved beyond these barbaric traditions and rituals.

I find it absolutely, impossibly ungrateful that after watching God split an entire sea, after seeing Him descend on Mount Sinai with thunder, lightning, smoke and fire, hearing His angels sound their trumpets to announce the arrival of the King of Creation, that ANYONE would break faith with Him. It just seems impossible. Why Israel? How could you be so ungrateful, so filled with wickedness? I know I would not.

@tradbowseven Did you create that life? God has power over all, and for that sakes, He can do as He pleases. Wow God is so merciful, see the way you say "WTF" over what Our Heavenly Father has said....
I don't get why people challenge or question God, He is the finisher of our faith.
