( Moses)
Moses (Latin Moyses, Hebrew ??????, Standard&_160;Moshe Tiberian&_160;Mošeh; Greek M??s?? in both the Septuagint and the New Testament; Arabic ?????, Musa; Ge'ez ??, Musse) is a Biblical Hebrew religious leader, lawgiver, prophet, and military leader, to whom the authorship of the Torah is traditionally attributed. Also called Moshe Rabbeinu in Hebrew (Hebrew ?????? ????????, Lit. "Moses our Teacher"), he is the most important prophet in Judaism,[1][2] and also an important prophet of Christianity,[1] Islam,[3] the Bahá'í Faith,[4] Rastafari,[1] Chrislam[3][1] and many other faiths. According to the book of Exodus, Moses was born to a Hebrew mother, Jochebed, who hid him when the Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed, and he ended up being adopted into the Egyptian royal family. After killing an Egyptian slave-master, Moses 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, where they wandered in the desert for 40 years, during which time, according to the Bible, Moses received the Ten Commandments. Despite living to 120, Moses died before reaching the Land of Israel. According to the Torah, Moses was denied entrance to that destination because he himself disobeyed God's instructions about how to release water from a rock. The main source of Moses' life is the Torah. In the Torah, the autobiographical narratives of Moses are in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Moses is also believed to be the author of Genesis, and is the author of Psalm 90, and Psalm 106. 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. After Joseph died, a new pharaoh came to power who was hostile to the Israelites and enslaved them.[5]
