They forbed the Israelites from praying to God. God was not happy about how his people were being mistreated, so assigned Moses to demand that the Pharaoh let his people go.
Another thing we can learn from God and Moses relationship is obedience. Moses obeyed God in everything that God told him to fulfill. When God told Moses to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt, Moses did not stop until he led the Hebrews out of Egypt.
Prior to 1930, Caswell County had not provided a high school education for African American students. Through activism and persistence, the first high school was created in Yanceyville, North Carolina. The local white school board showed harsh resistance, so the school's principal resorted to a new strategy. To create the school an eighth grade was added to Yanceyville Elementary. " Each year a higher grade was added using the local student population.
God makes a covenant with Moses called the Mosaic covenant, which is the covenant between God and the nation of Israel. The covenant was made at Mount Sinai, where God makes Moses the leader of Israel. This covenant is conditional because its organized in the form of blessings and curses. God states “I will set my Dwelling among you, and will not disdain you.
In verse 6 and 7 it says” Be strong and courageous,because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left,that you may be successful wherever you go.” This is driving home the theme once again to be courageous so obviously it matters to God that we trust Him to help us through. It also matters to God that you obey His will and the law.
Moses states in the Hebrew bible, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might”
Moses was commanded to lay hands upon Joshua, thus inaugurating him into the service of God to lead the children of Israel across the Jordan River. He would need all of the encouragement he could get, for the people of god needed a strong
In the past God has pushed and pushed Moses and now he is trying to establish a glass ceiling for
For the Hebrew people the covenant covered all human relationships. It is a bond which unites people through mutual obligations. It is natural, therefore, a relationship to God was expressed in covenant terms. It occurred between God and Abraham and was the beginning of the relationship between God and Jewish people. Simply put, it provides Jews with God's protection if they uphold and follow his commandments and laws.
In the Bible as in Literature, though Moses’ belief in God is inconsistent at times, his flourishing faith is able to give him strength in becoming the leader that he now is, and having the persistence and durability to save the Israelites. Without God’s guidance and knowledge, Moses’ courage would be nonexistent. God approaches Moses, when he is in need, pleading for Moses to advise the Israelites into safety, unfortunately Moses is first low in determination for himself. In order to officially escape the Israelites out of Egypt, he needs God’s overpowering spirit to bring down destructive plagues on the vile Egyptians. At the final exit to freedom, Moses is at a dead-end, and only one man has the ability to help Moses split the waters, solely God himself.
When he crossed the Red Seas, (when he was leading Israel) they all had to have faith in order for the seas to part. He was a great leader, but he complained and told God that he was a nobody, and that he couldn’t do it. God provided for Moses and showed him that he was capable of doing things he didn’t think he could do. When Israel was waiting for the Promised land, God provided
In Exodus book 32, the Israelites create for themselves a god out of gold rings, an action that angers the Lord so much he wants to “put an end to them and make a great nation spring from” Moses instead (Exodus 32.10). Rather than cowering away from his wrathful God, Moses “set himself to placate the Lord” (Exodus 32.11). Moses tells the Lord to “turn away from [his] anger, and think better of the evil [he] intend[s] against” them and reminds him of his covent (Exodus 32.12-13). Moses acts heroically without God’s assistance in this instance and successfully got “the Lord [to think] better of the evil with which he had threatened his people,” thus saving the Israelites from their own God (Exodus 32.14). In this story, God is acting just as much like a human as Moses is, and Moses is the one providing
Despite being appointed as God’s chosen liberator of the Israelites, Moses is a person incapable of effectively leading his people. Moses’s lack of charisma, confidence, and determination are his greatest flaws as a leader which are demonstrated when he initially fails to stop his fellow Hebrews from fighting. His critical flaws as a leader initiates a chain of failures that will befall the Israelites during their journey and their eventual punishment of never reaching the Promised Land. One of Moses’s greatest shortcomings as a leader is his lack of charisma. He is unable to make the people naturally follow him and his words.
But Moses feels unworthy and is reluctant to be God's spokesperson. In Exodus 3:13-18, God gives Moses two names - first, He is the God of the Patriarchs, Abraham,
God made covenants with the Jewish people. The first covenant was between God and Abraham. God chose Abraham to be the father of a group of people that would be special to God. God said Abraham and his descendants must obey God and live their life in a way that shows the world God was the only supreme God. In return God would protect them, help them, and give them the land of Canaan to live.
