Moses (Hebrew: ה ֶשֹׁמ, Standard Moshe Tiberian Mōšeh; Greek Mωυσής in both the Septuagint and
the New Testament; Arabic: موسىٰ, Mūsa; Ge'ez: Musse was a 13th century BCE [1] Biblical
Hebrew religious leader, lawgiver, prophet, and military leader, to whom the authorship of the
Torah is traditionally attributed. He is also an important prophet in Judaism, [2] Christianity, [2]
Islam, [3] the Bahá'í Faith, [3] Mormonism, [2] Rastafari, [2] Raëlism, [4][5][6] Chrislam [3][2] and many
other faiths. According to the book of Exodus, Moses was born to a Hebrew mother who hid him
when a Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed, and ended up being adopted into
the Egyptian royal family. After killing an Egyptian slave master, he fled and became a shepherd,
and was later commanded by God to deliver the Hebrews from slavery. After the Ten Plagues
were unleashed on Egypt, he led the Hebrew slaves out of Egypt, through the Red Sea, and they
wandered in the desert for 40 years. Despite living to 120, he did not enter the Land of Israel, as he
disobeyed God when God instructed him on how to bring forth water from a rock in the desert.

Life of Moses
The Book of Exodus takes up the narrative many years after the close of the Book of Genesis, at
the end of which the Israelites were dwelling in relative harmony with the native Egyptians in the
Land of Goshen, the eastern part of the Nile Delta. Sometime during the interval, the Egyptians
became hostile to the Israelites and enslaved them.
According to the Book of Exodus, Moses was a son of Amram, a member of the Levite tribe of
Israel, having descended from Jacob, and his wife Jochebed. [7] Jochebed (also Yocheved) was kin
to Amram's father Kohath (Exodus 6:20). Aaron was Moses' elder brother. [7] According to Genesis
