Moses
Moses
Moses is the prophet and lawgiver revered in Judaism, Christianity and Islam as the leader who brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. According to the Book of Exodus, he was born to a Hebrew family, hidden in a basket among the reeds of the Nile, and raised in the Egyptian royal household. Grown to manhood, he fled to Midian and lived as a shepherd until God spoke to him from a burning bush, calling him to free his people. Scripture recounts the plagues of Egypt, the crossing of the Red Sea and forty years in the wilderness, during which Moses received the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. He died within sight of the Promised Land. Jewish tradition honors him as "Moses our Teacher," Muslims revere him as the prophet Musa, and the law given through him remains a foundation of moral thought.
