Robert Moses

response to the narrative: I think there are a few parts of this passage that I find strange. I think it is strange how God favors Moses more than anyone else. Just because Moses is a good, humble man should not make him the more favorable human being the Lord should express himself through. I feel like the Lord is saying to Miriam and Aaron that they will never get the gifts Moses receives because they will never be as good as him. I also find it disturbing how just Miriam is punished for what…

God had prepared the life of Moses in order for him to guide the children of Israel out of bondage in Egypt. The first forty years of Moses’s life was spent living as Pharaoh’s son, which gave him the finest training as a leader at that time. He later became a shepherd living in Midian so that he may become the guide to the children of Israel. Lastly, he used his modules learned to stear the children of Israel out of Egypt and into the Promised Land. God chose Moses for a reason, to mold him…

the story of Exodus was an especially popular book of the Bible to study. The Bible book, Exodus, was a story told in which God directed the prophet Moses to deliver the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage, and the African Americans had faith that God was…

be? How does God choose who is a prophet, and how does God communicate with them? One aspect I did not know was that there are many different kinds of prophets. Growing up I assumed that the only prophets were the ones listed in the Bible, such as Moses, Elijah, and Joseph. However, this is not the case, according to Carvalho, there were hundreds of prophets just around Samaria alone but much more in the county of Israel. I thought it was interesting to read about the “frenzy”. A “frenzy” is…

Deuteronomy 31, 32 and 34 give the account of the succession of Moses by Joshua. When Moses was leading the Israelites out of Egypt, he had several disagreements with God, and as such he could not enter the Promise Land. Among the disagreements included the time he broke the tablets of the Torah and God made him curve them again himself. Also, he was aging and his time of death was near. He, therefore, needed a successor who would lead the children of Israel into the Promised Land. He gathered…

In Exodus 15: 1-21, Moses and the Israelites sang a song that entailed multiple claims about God. They sing just after they finally escape the clutches of the Egyptian Emperor. In the previous chapter, Moses is leading his people, or the Israelites, from Egypt where they were held as slaves for many years. Within this chapter, the Israelites cross the Red Sea with the Egyptians on their heels. As the story goes, the Israelites pass through the Red Sea that was split by Moses, through the…

In the book of Genesis within the Old Testament, the story of Abraham and his descendants marked a major significant in the Old Testament and New Testament. Throughout the book of Genesis, it introduced the nation (Israel) to its origin in elections and promises. We know that Abraham was known and credited as faithful and righteous. However, he did have time when he was being suspicious and doubtful about God’s promises to him. Starting at the chapter 12 of Genesis, it introduced Abram to the…

happens from disregarding a boss. Instances go back to biblical days of the Old Testament Bible for Christians and Jews. Where in the first covenant, God promised the children of Abraham, the ‘Promise Land’, otherwise known as Canaan. God then sent Moses the ten commandments, the rules God sent for them, that must be followed if the children of Israel was to get their Promised Land. They broke these rules continuously and repeatedly, some unapologetically. Hence, their consequence was not…

relationship with Him. Jews also believe that God reveals himself to them through prophets and special events. Jews abide by the ten commandments which were given to Moses by God on the top of Mount Sinai. Moses and Abraham were the main founders of Judaism. Moses and Abraham were both men of God and did great things. God used Moses as a vessel to release the ten commandments to the world. Some of the commandments are not to kill, steal, commit adultery, etc. Committing…
