members from the great flood. These two situations have a common factor which is water, but what is most important is that these two men were trusted with the lives of others. In both circumstances, God destroyed, or punished the evil, the Egyptians in Exodus and the corrupt and violent in Genesis. Both Noah and Moses were kept from drowning, because they obeyed God and refrained from questioning what God intended to happen, and commanded to perform an action in which saved lives. Noah and Moses…

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) When Moses was called an outcast he wanted to prove to them that he is not so it happened and "Peter explored Moses and what his life was like."(Biblical Archaeology Society Staff) So in the end of all …

as you asked. Just go! And bless me, too!” Many scholars think that Joshua was 45 when Moses led Israel out of Egypt, but there is nothing in the Scriptures to confirm it. If I have read correctly there is no mention of Joshua in Scripture until Exodus 17:9-13; at which time Moses commands Joshua to go and battle against the Amalek’s.
