As previously mentioned in the previous chapter regarding the life of Moses, sometime around 1446BC, he goes to discuss with the Pharaoh the release of the Israelites from slavery. The Pharaoh refuses to release the Israelites, consquently, God releases ten plagues onto Egypt to force the Pharaoh to let the Israelites leave Egypt. The ten plagues consisted of water into blood, frogs, lice, swarm of flies, diseased livestock, men and animals will break out with boils, thunderstorm of hail and fire, locusts, three days of darkness and death of all first-born son and daughters. The Pharaoh finally consents to the Israelites leaving Egypt allowing Moses to organize the Israelites and begin their 40 year journey back to Canaan, but the Pharaoh commands a group of his soldiers to chase after and kill all of the Israelites. Moses sees the approaching Egyptian army and with Gods assistance parts the Red Sea, leads the Israelites through the divided water, then after the Israelites are safe from
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.
Moses went to the mountain to speak with God to get instructions from Him, but the Israelites sinned against God before Moses came down from the mountain. The Lord was greatly angered. And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, up make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. Exo32v1
Moses returns to Egypt and fails to convince Ramses to release them.” (Tiano pg 27) God gave Egypt ten different plagues, but the last one finally convinced Ramses. Confident that the plagues convinced him, Moses and his brother, Aaron, took the Israelites and escaped. When the Israelites left, Ramses changed his mind and sent out and chased them to the Red Sea. God helped Moses part the Red Sea and the Israelites and Ramses’ army walked below the body of water.
but before they did god got a message that he had to go welcome Aaron into heaven and Moses was like wat what. He said I need to going welcome an incoming and Moses said I think that might be my brother so he went with
Moses eventually freed these people and guided them along a path to the promise land. The Exodus event with Moses is very
It all started in the mid-1800s and there I was, sleeping in my quarters… It was 12:00 AM and I heard a sound that everyone was talking about. “Go down, Moses, ‘way down to Egypt Land” was the signal Moses would make to let the other slaves know that they could come with him and escape. I knew this was the chance for me to escape.
However, the lesser known second happening of this miracle in the wilderness of Zin contributes greatly to God’s message to us in the Bible. After liberation from slavery in Egypt the Israelites were on their way
If the Bible does tell some partial truth in Exodus then why did Moses allow the Hebrew people to wander in the desert? Perhaps one of the most controversial questions would be was Moses truly a biblical prophet sent by god, or was he a military leader on a mission to
God then agrees to assist Moses on his journey, by teaching him everything that he needs to know. Without this assertive personality of God, Moses would never make it out of town. Once Moses, along with God and Aaron at his side, finally make it to Egypt, the Pharoah refuses to let the people go. With the Pharaoh protesting all exemptions of the Israelites, God tells Moses, “...take your rod and stretch over the waters of Egypt...that they may become blood…” This brings forth the first plague sent to the Israelites.
No wonder why we read in Exodus 7:15 that Moses and Aaron were commanded to go and meet Pharaoh at the river bank; for it was his custom to go and pay homage to the water spirits in the river Nile in the mornings. In fact, the whole of the Egyptian kingdom was under the control of Leviathan, a seven headed sea monster that empowered Pharaoh! (Read more about this in chapter 7). You see the reason why Pharaoh responded, (when he was told to let the Hebrews go) “ Who is the LORD that I should obey his voice to let Israel go?
His first order of business as a new leader was to send spies to Jericho before crossing the Jordan. Crossing the Jordan The Jordan River is not slow and stagnant, rather it is vigorous and filled with rushing waters. The Israelites had crossed through a parted sea once already during the leadership of Moses. According to Bible, the Israelites were to follow behind the arch of the covenant, carried by one man from each of the twelve tribes.
He overly relies on God to solve every problem he encounters, not believing himself to be able to solve them. His lack of drive and overdependence on God causes problems to arise again and again. The Israelites’ disobedience of God’s commands and their constant complaints about their conditions in their wilderness are such examples of Moses’s incompetence when it comes to exerting control over the Israelites. Although Moses is the one that leads them out of Egypt, he does not gain the hearts of the
The Book of Numbers – in Hebrew, Bəmidbar, meaning “in the wilderness [of Sinai]” – describes the the Israelites’ long journey in the desert to take possession of God’s promised land. The Jewish Study Bible divides Numbers into three major units based on “geographical criteria” and “ideological motifs”. The first unit spans from Numbers 1.1 to 10.10 and details the Israelites’ encampment at Mount Sinai and their preparation for the long journey. The second unit picks up this narrative and describes the generation‐long march in the desert from Sinai to Moab. The final unit, starting with Numbers 22.2, narrates the encampment on the plains of Moab before entering the promised land of Canaan.
