Moses

Moses was born to Israelite slaves in Egypt during the subjugation that resulted from the family of Jacob moving to and remaining in Egypt.His mother set him afloat in a basket on the Nile river to try and help him escape the pharaoh's edict to kill all male Hebrew babies.He was found in the river by the Pharaoh's daughter and raised as her son.When he grew older,he eventually left the palace after killing a guard he saw brutalizing an Israelite.He ran off to the wilderness and lived there for fourty years as a shepherd until the Lord called him to go and free the Israelites from their subjugation.He went to the Pharaoh and told him to let God's people go.Since the Pharaoh would not let them go,God sent ten plagues one the Egyptians,until finally he let them go.After that,Pharaoh decided that he had made a mistake so he chased after them with an army,but they all died in the sea when God allowed the water he had been holding back for the Israelites to bury them.Moses died in the land of Moab,after he let Moses see the land promised for the Israelites.
