The Author of Salvation
As one of the most well-known names from the Bible, Moses’ story is one of faith and frustration. The basic of retold stories of Moses focus on the job he had to help set God’s people free from their enslavement in Egypt.

In Genesis 41, once Joseph has been imprisoned in Egypt he begins interpreting the dreams of the Pharaoh. The proof of Moses being the author becomes clearer as he begins naming Egyptian priests and goddesses such as “Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On” (Genesis 41:45).
