Moses
Moses is the most important prophet in Judaism and is also important in Christianity and Islam. Moses led the Israelites out of their slavery in Egypt, miraculously crossing a divided Red Sea. At Mount Sinai he received the Ten Commandments. He led the Israelites through 40 years of desert wandering and finally to the Promised Land. He died there, within sight of his goal, at the age of 120.

What incident turns Moses into a prophet?
God spoke to him for the first time at the Burning Bush (Exodus, end of ch.2).
According to the biblical genealogy, Moses would have lived in the late bronze age. However, few scholars today believe that the story of Moses was really historical.
What is the final plague proclaimed by Moses?
In the final plaque the first born sons of every one who did not mark the door with blood would die.
How old was Moses when God chose him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt?
Amazingly enough he was 80 years old! Using chronology we can identify this time. At Moses death he was 120 years old (Deuteronomy 34:7). Because of their repeated disobedience and mistrust of God the Israelites were punished and made to wander in the wilderness for 40 years (during that time those disobedient Israelites would die-off only leaving their offspring behind).
Unfortunately, during that 40 year period, in a moment off anger Moses also sinned against God and was not allowed to enter the Promised Land. (Numbers 20:2-12) He died shortly before the nation entered.
So subtracting 40 years from his final age of 120 years we get our answer: 80 years old. Of course he received the strength to accomplish this great task of leading the nation of Israel from God. In fact at Deuteronomy 34:7 it states: "And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old at his death. His eyes had not grown dim, and his vital strength had not fled."
Why did moses flee Egypt when he was young?
He fled Egypt because he saw Egyptians beating up Hebrews.

Plus... Moses killed the Egyptian... tried to hide the body... was found out... and "took it on the lam." [Ex.2:12-15]
What mountain is where the law was given to Moses?
Mt. Sinai. No one knows for sure where Mt. Sinai is really located. There are a lot of mountains that have been called the Mt. Sinai, but, no one knows for sure where the real Mt. Sinai is located.
What Hebrew holiday was created from the plagues by Moses?
You're thinking of Passover or Pesach (פסח), but this holiday was not created from the plagues by Moses.
The Ancient Hebrews created this holiday to commemorate their freedom and the Exodus from Egypt. The Plagues are only a small part of the story.
How did Moses help midians daughter?
When the daughters of Jethro the priest , went to fetch water from the well, the Egyptian shepherds started to chase the girls away, but as Moses was resting near by he then drove all the Egyptians away. he then fetched water for the daughters of Jethro.
What does it mean when God said to Moses 'I am'?
Translated into English, I AM, is about the best way to conceptually describe our Creator to the finite human mind.
"Am" is a form of the "state-of-being" verb, "TO BE." Which simply means, God is telling us... "HEIS."
He "exists" without "beginning or end"... which the human mind CANNOT COMPREHEND. God WAS... He IS... and He SHALL BE -- FOREVER! In an eternal state of existence.
In other words... the best translation of God's name into English is: ETERNAL.
The human mind cannot conceive of anything without "limitations." Forever, infinite, eternally, without end: is incomprehensible to our fleshly existence that's fraught with limitations... especially the limitations of our five physical senses.
God exists.
Though we can't understand it now... it will be made plain to us by the end of God's plan, when we all "shall be changed" into the "immortal Children of God" [I Cor.15:51-54].
Immortal -- being incapable of dying. That's another incomprehesibility to us.
What was moses' adopted brother called?
Aaron was Moses' older brother and the first High priest of the nation of Israel.
Moses Annenberg was born in Germany but later immigrated to Chicago in the United States. He was also indicted for tax evasion and lived in a prison until his death.
Who was born first Moses or David?
Jesus Christ because he is the 'lamb slain from the foundation of the world.' (Revelation 13.8), and Adam was created on the sixth day. (Genesis 1.27 & 31)
Who did Moses receive the ten commandments from?
Moses received the Ten Commandments on the top of Mt. Sinai from God.
Moses struck the rock twice because he was impatient, and he got punished and was not allowed to enter the promised land of Canaan. Aaron stood by him as co-leader and was therefore held partially responsible.
Moses' sin is mentioned (Numbers 20:12 and 24) again and again (Numbers ch.27, Deuteronomy ch.32). He struck the rock which was, by a miracle of God, made into a source of water (Numbers ch.20). He was supposed to speak to the rock instead (ibid). Striking the rock served to slightly diminish the miracle.
It should be self-understood that this criticism of Moses is only in proportion to his greatness. In the final analysis, he remained the most godly person who ever lived (Deuteronomy ch.34).
Why is Moses the most important Hebrew?
Because he received the Torah from God.
Moses was an Israelite, a great-great grandson of Jacob. He was born 245 years after the death of Abraham. The time when Moses was born was when the Pharaoh ordered his people to kill all Jewish male infants because he (Pharaoh) was afraid that the Israelites would become too strong for him (Exodus ch.1-2). Moses' mother didn't want him to die. So she made a basket for him and put him in it to float in the Nile reeds. He was found by the Pharaoh's daughter, who took pity on him (Exodus ch.2) and raised him as her own son. He was forced to flee after killing a cruel Egyptian taskmaster, and went to Midian, where he wedded the daughter of Jethro. He eventually achieved the highest level of prophecy (Deuteronomy ch.34) and was called upon by God (Exodus ch.3). He brought the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery (Exodus ch.12). He received the Torah from God (Exodus 24:12) and later recorded it in writing (Deuteronomy 31:24). He went up on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights (Deuteronomy ch.9-10) and brought down the Two Stone Tablets with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18). He brought the Israelites into the covenant with God (Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), and he oversaw the building of the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.35-40). He was the humblest of men and the greatest of prophets (Numbers ch.12).
Which book was revealed on Moses?
Exodus.
Answer:
Deuteronomy: "...This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab (Iraq), according to the Word of the Lord. And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulcre unto this day. And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated." (Deut.34"4-7)

Why Joshua to be Moses successor?
One big reason may have been the fact that Aaron was the older brother,
and was already dead by the time Moses was ready for succession.
A better question might be: Why Joshua and not either one of Moses' sons ?
According to the Book of Genesis, Moses was born in Egypt. However, there is good reason to believe that Moses never really existed, in which case he was not born anywhere.
Where in the Bible does Moses allow divorce?
Jesus does not express any points on marriage and divorce in the Bible. Marriage as an institution even pre-dates Abraham. In fact Kain and Seth, Adam and Eve's surviving children, were married. So the institution pre-dates even formal Judiasm. Since other religions have a form of marriage we can assume that it's origin is more cultural then religious in origin. I would be a safe assumption then, the rules of divorce, are also equally cultural rather then religious. The acceptability and rules of marriage were established prior to Jesus and continue to evolve long after and with little input on Jesus' part, tend to fall into Church traditions rather then direct influence by the Messiah of Christianity. This may be intentional as the message of redemption and fullfillment of God's law had little to do with micro-managing the development of the new\restored faith. Jesus does bless marriage as a sacrament by changing water into wine but that is the only definitive positioning Jesus makes as far as I can recall.
Who was moses' second in command?
Joshua.
Deuteronomy 31:14 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, the days approach when you must die; call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of meeting, that I may inaugurate him." So Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the tabernacle of meeting.
Did Moses enter the promised land why?
