Why Did Moses Listen To God

Decent Essays
1} Why did Moses kill the Egyptian that was beating on a slave? I would like to know the reasoning behind Moses killing the Egyptian since the majority of people kill somebody for a reason; however occasionally people just like to kill random people. So I would like to know if he killed the Egyptian for a purpose or just for amusement.
2} Why did Moses listen to God? I would ask this question to anybody who has been talked to by God. For example, Mary was talked to by an angel but why didn’t she just walk away from him. Why did Moses listen to the burning bush and not put out the fire or just walk away.
3} Did Moses know about God before the Burning Bush? I wondered this the first time I learned about Moses because if Moses

    Exodus 4:10 says, “And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.” Although this verse depicts Moses giving God an excuse as to why he was unable to be used, this verse also shows that Moses was no longer confident in his abilities. In Egypt, he had power, influence, and fame. He was so over-confident that he brought himself to kill a man. There was no doubt that God needed some time to develop humility in Moses’ life.…

This modern Midrash not only revitalizes the story of Moses, but changes its original purpose. By comparing and contrasting the DreamWorks version of Moses’ youth and exit from Egypt to Midian to that of the biblical story and scholarly commentary, it is revealed that the purpose of The Prince of Egypt is to emphasize social change and justice.…
