Description
Moisés emerges as a Hebrew infant born under Egyptian oppression, a time when Pharaoh decreed death for all newborn Hebrew males. To save him, his mother set him adrift in a basket on the Nile. He was discovered and adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter, raised within the royal household as a prince.
As an adult, witnessing the suffering of Hebrew slaves, Moisés killed an Egyptian taskmaster beating a Hebrew. This act forced him to flee Egypt to escape Pharaoh’s punishment. He settled in Midian, becoming a shepherd and marrying Zipporah, daughter of Jethro, priest of Midian. He spent forty years in this humble life.
A pivotal moment came as Moisés tended sheep near Mount Horeb. He encountered a burning bush that was not consumed by the flames. A divine voice spoke from the bush, identifying as the God of his ancestors and commanding Moisés to return to Egypt to demand the Israelites’ release from slavery. Moisés expressed reluctance, questioning his ability and speaking skills, but the command was reaffirmed. The divine presence promised to be with him and provided signs to validate the mission. His brother Aaron was appointed as his spokesperson.
Moisés returned to Egypt and confronted Pharaoh, demanding freedom for the Israelites. His requests were repeatedly denied, and a series of ten plagues were unleashed upon Egypt. After the final plague, the death of the firstborn, Pharaoh allowed the Israelites to leave.
Moisés led the Israelites out of Egypt. When Pharaoh’s army pursued them, they were trapped at the Red Sea. Following divine instruction, Moisés raised his staff and the waters parted, allowing the Israelites to cross on dry ground. The sea then closed, drowning the Egyptian army.
The journey continued to Mount Sinai. There, Moisés ascended the mountain and received the Ten Commandments and other laws directly from God, carved onto stone tablets. During his prolonged absence, some Israelites built and worshipped a golden calf. Upon descending and witnessing this idolatry, Moisés broke the tablets in anger. He then interceded with God on behalf of the people to avert their destruction.
Moisés continued leading the Israelites through the desert toward the Promised Land. He acted as judge, mediated between the people and God, and guided them through various challenges and rebellions. However, in a moment of frustration when the people lacked water, he struck a rock to produce water instead of speaking to it as instructed. This act of disobedience resulted in God decreeing that he would not enter the Promised Land.
After leading the Israelites for forty years in the wilderness, Moisés viewed the Promised Land from Mount Nebo. He died there at the age of 120 and was buried by God in an unknown location in Moab, never having entered Canaan himself.
