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) …show more content…
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.
