When Moses was born he was supposed to die when his mother put him in the river and he floated there crying and the "pharaoh's daughter comes by the river and pities the baby and adopts him."(Exodus 2:1-10)

    In Exodus, Moses did not go seeking justice on his own. He was walking along in the desert and happened to stumble upon a burning bush and happened to be the one chosen to fight for justice. Without prior knowledge, Moses was in God’s plan all along to free the Israelites from Egypt, but was never revealed until that moment.

If Moses also did not share a similar definition of justice as God and believed more in the Pharaoh, the journey would not have worked well.…
