Moses story
is very long story, and I’m gonna explain this story in this article. But also

“Exodus, chapter 2 to 20”
Moses: The Baby in the basket/ Moses in the Bulrushes:-
bible says after
death of joseph, Pharaoh the king of Egypt stated Israelite to make slaves of them, and setting
them to all kinds of hard labour. But, the more he oppressed them, the more
they increased in number. So the Pharaoh began afraid that the Israelites might
turn against him, and make them escape out of the land.
So the king
commended that all the sons of the Israel or Hebrews, should be put to death as
soon as they were born. At this time a Hebrew named
Amram had a son born: he was a
beautiful child, and for three months his mother,
Jochebed succeeded in saving him from
the Egyptians.
But at last
she could no longer conceal him. So she made an ark, that is a sort of cradle,
of bulrushes coated over with pitch, laid him in it, and then placed the ark
among the reeds that grew by the riverside, Miriam
the sister of baby Moses stood
watching in the distance to see what would become of him. While she was
watching she saw somebody coming, she realized it was pharaoh’s daughter and
her servant. Pharaoh’s daughter was bathing. Suddenly she saw a little
beautiful baby in the basket. She rescued him and named him “Moses” which mean “drawn out of the water”
Moses ran away from Egypt:-
One day,
when moses grown up, he saw an Egyptian beating an Israelite slave. He tried to
save his fellow Israelite. And Moses thought nobody would see, so he killed Egyptian and
buried hid body. But someone saw what moses had done. When pharaoh heard what
moses had done, he tried to kill him.
So he ran
away from Egypt to the wildness, where he
would be safe from pharaoh’s soldiers. After then moses become a shepherd in the wildness and there he married a woman, from that he had two sons.
God called the moses/calling of moses:-
One day
while moses was taking care of his sheep, he saw a bush that was on fire. But
the bush did not burn up. Moses went near the bush to be able to see it better.
As he approached the burning bush, the voice of god said, “moses, take off your shoes, you are standing on holy
ground.” God said, “I have seen the suffering of my people. I will
send you to pharaoh so that you can bring the Israelites out of the slavery in
Egypt. I will give them the land of Canaan
the land, the land I promised to Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob.
Moses retuned and the tenth plague:-
Moses and
Aaron went to pharaoh. Aaron was Moses’s brother. They said, “this is what the
god of Israel says, ‘let my people go!” but pharaoh did listen to them. Instead of letting
the Israelites go free, he forced them to work harder. Pharaoh kept refusing to
let the people go, so god sent ten terrible plagues on Egypt. Through these plagues,
God showed pharaoh that he is more powerful than pharaoh and all of Egypt’s
God.
God turned
the Nile river into blood, but pharaoh
still would not let the Israelites go. God sent frogs
all over Egypt. Pharaoh begged moses to take away the frogs. But,
after all the frogs died, pharaoh hardened his heart and would not let the
Israelites leave Egypt. So God sent a plagues of Lice. Then he sent a plagues of flies.
Pharaoh called moses and Aaron told them that if they stopped the plagues, the
Israelites could leave Egypt. when Moses prayed, god removed all the flies from
Egypt. But pharaoh hardened his heart and would not let the people go free.
Next, God send livestock diseased, then
all the farm animals that belonged to the Egyptians to get sick and die. But
pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go. Next the Boils pluge, Then God told moses to throw ashes
into the air in the front of pharaoh. When he did, painful skin sores appeared
on the Egyptians, but not on the Israelites.
God hardened
pharaoh’s heart, and pharaoh would not let the Israelites go free. After that,
god sent Hail that destroyed most of the
crops in Egypt and killed anybody who went outside. Pharaoh called moses and
Aaron and told them, “I have sinned. You may go.” So moses prayed, and the hail
stopped falling from the sky. But pharaoh sinned again and hardened his heart.
He would not let the Israelites go free. So God caused swarms of locusts to come over Egypt. These locusts ate all
the crops that the hail had not destroyed. Then god sent darkness that lasted for three days. It was so
dark that the Egyptians could not leave their houses. But there was light where
the Israelites lived. Even after these nine plagues, pharaoh still refused to
let the Israelites go free. Since pharaoh would not listen, god planned to send
one last plagues. Then god announced one more plagues to send, the death of first born baby. Then pharaoh
surrender, thus god rescued his peoples from Egypt.
Moses and the red sea:-
The
Israelites were very happy to leave Egypt. They were no longer slaves, and they
were going to the promise land!, the Egyptians gave the Israelites whatever
they asked for, even gold and silver and other valuable things. Some people
from others nations believed in god and went along with the Israelites as they
left Egypt. God led them with a tall pillar of cloud that went ahead of them
with during the day, and which become a tall pillar of fire at night. God was
always with them and guides them as they travelled. All they had to do was
follow him.
After a
short time, pharaoh and his people changed theirs minds and wanted to Israelite
to be their slaves again. God caused pharaoh to be stubborn so that people
would see he is the one true god, and understand that he, Yahweh, is more
powerful than pharaoh and his gods.
So pharaoh
and his army chased after the Israelites the Israelites to make them their
slaves again. When the Israelites saw the Egyptians army coming, they realized
they were trapped between pharaoh’s army and red sea. They were very afraid and
cried out, “why did we leave Egypt? We are going to die!”
Moses told
the Israelite, “stop being afraid! God told moses, “tell the people to move
toward the red sea.” Then god moved the pillar of cloud and placed it between
the Israelites and the Egyptians so the Egyptians could not see the Israelites.
God told moses to raise his hand over the sea and divide the waters. Then god caused
wind to push the water in the sea to the left and the right, so that a path
formed through the sea.
The
Israelites marched through the sea on dry ground with a wall of water on either
side of them. Then god moved the cloud up and out of the way so that the
Egyptians could see the Israelites escaping.the Egyptians decided to chase
after them. So they followed the Israelites onto the path through the sea, but
god caused the Egyptians to panic and caused their chariots to get stuck. They shouted
“run away! God is fighting for the Israelites!” after the Israelites all made
it safely to the other side of the sea, god told moses to stretch his arm
again.
When he
obeyed, the water fell on the Egyptians army and returned to its normal place.
The whole Egyptians army drowned. When Israelites saw that Egyptians were dead,
they trusted in god and believed that moses was a prophet of god.
Moses and the ten commandment:-
After god
led the Israelites through the red sea, he led them through the wildness to a
mountain called sinai. This was the same mountain where moses had seen the
burning bush. The people set up their tents at the base of the mountain. God
said to moses and the people of Israel, “if
you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my prized
possessions, a kingdom of priest, and a holy nation.”
Three days later, after the people had
prepared themselves spiritually, god came down
on top of mount sinai with thunder, lighting, smoke, and a loud trumpet
blast. Only moses was allowed to go up the mountain. Then god gave the covenant
and said, “I am Yahweh, your god, who saved you from slavery in Egypt. Do not worship others gods.” Do not make idols and do not
worship them, because I, Yahweh, am a jealous god. Do not use my name in a disrespectful way. Be
sure to keep the subbath day holy. In other words, do all your work in six
days, for the seventh day is a day for
you to rest and to remember me.” “honor your
father and mother. Do not murder. Do not
commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not desire to have your neighbor’s wife, his house, ro
anything that belong to him.”
Then God
wrote these ten commandments on two stone tables and gave them to moses. God
also gave many other law and rules to follow. If the people obeyed these laws.
God promised that he would bless and protect them. If they disobeyed them, god
would punish them. God also gave the Israelites a detailed description of a
tent he wanted them to make. It was called the tent of meeting and it had two
rooms, separated by a large curtain. Only the high priest was allowed to go
into the room behind the curtain, because god lived there. Anyone who disobeyed
god’s law could bring an animals to the altar in front of the tent of meeting
as a sacrifice to god. A priest would kill the animals and burn it on the
altar. The blood of the animals that was sacrificed covered the person’s sin
and made that person clean in god’s sight. God chose Moses brother, Aaron, and
Aaron’s descendants to be his priest. The people all agreed to obey the law
that god had given them, to worship only god, and to be his special people. But
a short time after they promised to obey, they sinned terribly.
For many
days, ,Moses was on the top of the mount sinai taking with god. The people
became tired of waiting for him to return. So they brought gold to Aaron and
asked him to make an idol foe them! Aaron made a golden idol in the shape of a
calf. The people began to wildly worship the idol and make sacrifice to it! God
was very angry with them because of their sin and planned to destroy them. But Moses prayed for them. And god listened to his prayer and did not destroy them.
When Moses came down the mountain and saw the idol, he was so angry that he
smashed the stone on which god had written the ten commandments. Then Moses
beat the idol into powder, threw the powder into some water and made the people
drink the water. God sent a plague on the people and many of them died. Moses
made new stone tablets for the ten commandments to replace the one that he had
broken. Then he climbed the mountain again and prayed that god would forgive
the people. God listened to Moses and forgive them. Moses came back down the
mountain with the ten commandments on the new tablets. Then god led the
Israelites away from mount Sinai toward the promised land.
