Recommended: Moses as a leader characteristic

In my opinion, it would be best to follow the exodus out of Egypt. Although there are several reasons to go, I chose to write about three main reasons. The three I chose were that Moses was caring, God trusted Moses with power, and if I were to stay, I would have to deal with the plagues.
To begin with, I would follow Moses out of Egypt seeing as he cared about the Hebrews. For instance, when God got Moses’s attention, it wasn’t necessary of Moses to listen and go back to the Israelites, but he did anyways. Also, according to Document 2, it tells us that Moses killed an Egyptian that was beating up a Hebrew. This means that he wanted to protect the Hebrew from getting hurt. So although the text doesn’t directly say that Moses was kind, we

    Today, his works are still considered as some of the most important in religious history. Moses was chosen by god to lead, guide, and provide an outline that the Jewish people could adhere to. After his demise, the Egyptian Jewish population grieved for three days because of the grief and pain they bore, and to show respect and pay homage for the tremendous contributions he made to the people of the region. His work has also influenced Roman, Jewish, and Western Cultures by providing a framework to the development of various religions. Regardless of what religion one choses to follow, there is a high probability that it stems partially from the work of

    Moses spends forty years following the instructions of God throughout Exodus. However, in Numbers, God tells him to speak to the rock and it will bring them water. Instead of speaking to the rock, he strikes it with his staff, like he did previously in Exodus. When he does not directly follow the instructions he was given, God responds by saying, “‘Because you were not faithful to me in showing forth my sanctity before the Israelites, you shall not lead this community into the land I will give them,’” (Numbers 20:12). Moses ends up being able to see the Promised Land, but never being able to set foot inside

    Exodus is concerned with the relationship aspect of the Patriarchal promises. Sometimes this relationship is expressed in various ways such as a blessing or guidance. By saying "I am the God of your father — the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob", He showed that he is faithful. He is faithful to His promises, such as God promised to give the Jews the land. When Moses turns to God's promises, he is in essence saying, “God we are not worthy of your blessings, we are here because of you, and we depend on you.” God acted as a parent towards a child. He wanted the best for His children. He, out of love for his children responded to them in different ways. At times he was tough, at other times gentle. Sometimes he enforced the rules and other times he would bend them depending on the occasion. Sometimes he denied his children of certain things and other times he gave openhandedly. He wants to love us and take care of us. Moses learned from God’s parenting skills. God taught lessons to his people as a parent would do. He also rescued his children when they were in trouble by defeating the powerful Egyptians and brought us out so that we could be his people.

    ...nnel for the message to the Israelites. This serves God's ultimately purpose of setting his chosen people free. Although Moses does not seem like a worthy candidate for the task, God gives him the power to overcome his flaws. Moses was successful in communicating and obeying God's word throughout his journey, because he never sought to control or possess the land or the people, unlike Pharaoh. In the end, the journey of the spiritual hero can finish in either one of these two paths. It is up to the individual whether or not they will succumb to temptation and be led down into hell and remain there forever.

    Then to dig more into the reasons for Moses’ hesitation, I will begin with Martin Nath’s commentary that claims that Moses to avoid his given charge by God comes up with a reason for his previous failure claiming that he is a poor speaker. Then I will bring Brevard Childs into the picture. He throws more light onto the issue and suggests that the reason for Moses’ previous failure was the suffering of the Israelites. He believes that they did not have any interest in Moses or God because of their situation. Ho...

  • Exegesis Paper Outline: Exodus 3: 14-17

    This section of exodus focuses on Moses, an Israelite who was raised as an Egyptian, who has fled from Egypt after the Pharaoh tried to kill him for killing an Egyptian man. By Exodus 3:1 Moses is married to Zipporah daughter of Jethro who gives him a job working as a shepherd. While tending to his animals Moses arrives at Horeb also known as Mount Sinai or the Mountain of God. Here Moses has his first theophany with God in the form of a burning bush. During this passage God talks to Moses telling him what he needs to do: go to Egypt and convince the Pharaoh to let the Egyptians go by performing a series of miracles. What god is asking Moses to do is intimidating. At this time the Pharaoh was the ruler of Egypt who had a powerful army and the Israelite’s weren’t going to be easy to convince that God sent him. Despite the “signs” Moses is reluctant to take the role beca...

  • Inexplicable Supernatural Events In The Bible

    This conclusion is based mainly upon the lack of archaeological proof (placing the Hebrews in Egypt, as slaves, or placing them Wandering in the Sinai Desert). Michael D. Coogan’s textbook, “A Brief Introduction to the Old Testament: The Hebrew Bible in its Context” states that “no direct correlation exists between any person, or event found in Exodus 1-15 and non-biblical sources” (Coogan 89). If such a large number of individuals had spent such a long period of time in Egypt, and wandered in the desert for so many years, there should be innumerable archaeological evidence of the event and of the Hebrews journey. Without this evidence the event is simply a legend, giving an account of how the Hebrew people came to be, similar to other cultures, such as the Aztecs, Greeks, and Romans. Yet, if the Hebrew story of the Exodus is a myth, why would the Israelite people paint themselves in such an undignified light?

    Moses never truly achieved his goals to free his people from persecution and establish a safe and secure homeland, but he did appoint people to lead after him and left them with the Book of Deuteronomy. In these sermons, Moses recalls the trials and tribulations of 40 years in the wilderness to show the struggles his people have made so far. He also demands that they follow his teachings and, more importantly, the Ten Commandments. He leaves them by telling them to observe one and only one God, his God. Shortly thereafter, Moses died at the age of 120 and paved the foundation for the creation of Israel.

    In the opening chapters Moses rehearses events that occurred during the wilderness wandering, He does this to remind the new generation to avoid making the same mistakes. Moses even provides precepts regarding kings (Deut. 17:14-20). Unfortunately, though, Moses knows that the people will continue to rebel against God. He warns them that if they disobey God will punish them severely (Deut. 28:15-68). This warning was always lost on the Israelites. Although prophets such as Jeremiah earnestly tried to bring God’s people back to Him, they hardened their hearts and continued to do their own
