History of Judaism
I will be telling you about one key person I found that was very important to the Jewish history was Moses. He was spoken about throughout the book of Exodus as the founder of the Ten Commandments and the rules of living for the Jewish people. Moses wasn’t born as Egyptian but as a Hebrew baby. That was put in a watertight basket in the Nile River. There an Egyptian princess found Moses in that basket and raised him as her own child. Later in life Moses sees an Egyptian foreman beating an Israelite slave. Moses kills the foreman in cold blood and then flees from Egypt. This is where he begins his journey to pursue in letting his people go to be free and lead them the promise lands as there Mosiah to god.
Moses was bought up in Egypt where there beliefs were to many gods. Throughout his upcoming in exile from Egypt. He is soon approached by a burning bush that speaks to him as the voice of God, who then commands him to return to Egypt to free his people the Hebrews. This is where Moses finds out there is only one god or as the Torah says “The one true God” this leads Moses to act on the word of god to bring the justice to set his people free. In the book of Exodus Yahweh the god of the Hebrews, simply need to show himself to be more powerful than any of the gods of the Egyptians. In one (possibly older) tradition, Yahweh is embodied and appears directly to human beings. In another (possibly later) tradition, Yahweh exists as a spirit, separate from human beings. By showing his true powers that he was the one true god to the Jewish people. Yahweh the Hebrew God shows his power by sending the ten plagues to strike at the Egyptian people to let his Israelite slaves free. The last and greatest of the plagues is the death of the first-born sons of the Egyptians. The Israelites’ sons are spared because they have followed Yahweh’s warning and have marked the doors of their homes with the blood of a substitute—a
