Moses:
Moses was a like a coyote in the desert. Always caring for the people, and always on the lookout. Many people were with him, and Moses was there all along the way to lead them. Miracles were also happening, with the power of the almighty God. Moses was one of the greatest prophets from the Old Testament because of helping the Israelites out of slavery, leading them through the desert, and receiving the Ten Commandments of God for the Israelites. (Tschen-Emmons)
Background Information
Not to mention the early years of Moses' life was also significant. His trip to the river was just the beginning.. Originally, Moses was born a Hebrew. Until the Pharaoh wanted all the Hebrew babies to be thrown into the river, fearing they will overthrow. Jochebed, Moses' mother, wanted to keep her baby. So she wrapped baby Moses in a basket and let him float onto the Nile River. (Tschen-Emmons) (Telushkin)

The Princess took him and raised him as her own. A few years passed and Moses worriedly escaped from the Pharaoh and left Egypt. Moses then wandered into the desert and became a shepherd in the desert. (Telushkin) (Bradley, Chris and Michael)
All through his life, Moses had a direct communication with God. God blessed him and his people that were loyal and obedient. God made many miracles with Moses and would often be like an advisor for him. Whenever Moses had trouble with the complaining and troubling people, he would talk with God, resulting into the Lord's miracles for them.

    The worship of the Nile River is what sets apart the Egyptian people. They may not be able to relate to the river, but the Egyptian people have to respect and worship the Nile River because the Nile was the only source of water and it brought fresh soil every year. The Hymn to the Nile states, “The bringer of food, rich in provisions, creator of all good, lord of majesty, sweet of fragrance.”(16) Giving the people fresh soil means grass for the cows and with that they can sacrifice the cows to the gods. The Nile helps the Egyptians in every way, every day to worship their…

    Jeremiah In The Odyssey

    • 642 Words
    • 3 Pages

    By describing his call, Jeremiah considers himself as a child. Jeremiah indicates that he was chosen by God before he was in the tomb. Allen highlights that: “Jeremiah’s call is strikingly presented as the culmination of long-term divine planning that antedated his conception and birth. Elsewhere in the O, this sort of statement is at home in special birth narratives.” Moses also was chosen by God before he was born to save Israel from slavery (Ex 2). Moses in Exus 3: 1-4 while keeping the flock of his father-in-law, the Lord appears to Moses in the burning bush, and calls him to go to deliver the Israelites in Egypt. Moses answers ‘here I am’ (Ex 3: 4), but after that when he listens to God’s program, he presents his objections: “Who I am that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” (Ex 3: 11), then He complains about what he would say when he arrives in Egypt and they will ask ‘what is the name of the God who sends you?’ (Ex 3: 13-14). Moses also lament his poor language by murmuring: “O my Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor even now that you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech” (Ex 4:10). This last objection is quite similar to Jeremiah’s one, only Moses adduces his stammer. These objections suggest that the prophetic career of Jeremiah and Moses were not their own idea or achievement, rather it must be attributed to the electing…
