Moses Essay

many differences between the Exodus described in the Bible and the Exodus shown in the 2007 film The Ten Commandments. From how Moses found out that he was a Hebrew to the one responsible of making the Golden Calf, the stories within the movie accommodate to its audience; the children. In addition to the difference in names for the LORD, the film focuses on portraying Moses and Aaron as exceptional men in the eyes of God, while the Bible has a more bitter, realistic feeling to it.

to die stacking bricks for Pharaoh’s tomb. How Moses convinced the Pharaoh to release us, I cannot fathom. Today was the most terrifying day of my life. Pharaoh sent out his men to retrieve us and enslave us again. We were hemmed by the Red Sea in front and the army behind. I, at the time, wondered what Moses would do because all he had done was cry out to G-d. Today I walked across the Red Sea on dry ground. It was a miracle!

After doing some comparison and contrast concerning this story. Moses was sent to deliver the Israelites from bondage. Pharaoh wanted to keep the children of Israel…

Jones, Moses is revealed to be attuned to nature through a juxtaposition of his former slave status and his new slavelike obsession of earth. As the passage opens Moses's owner has died, so that means Moses is a free slave. His attunement to nature is then revealed when he continues to work the land even though he is free. “He was the only man in the realm slave or free to eat dirt,” meaning that the earth was the “only thing in his small life that meant as much as his own life.” Moses is so…
