3Moses was a Hebrew prophet, teacher and leader, according to Abrahamic tradition. He is considered the most important prophet in Judaism and Samaritanism, and one of the most important prophets in Christianity, Islam, the Bahani Faith, and other Abrahamic religions.
In Exodus, we witness God beginning to fulfill His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Though the children of Israel were enslaved in a foreign land, God miraculously and dramatically delivered them to freedom. He then established Israel as a theocratic nation under His covenant with Moses on Mount Sinai..
Moses led the Israelites out of slavery and into the promised land. Killed an Egyptian who was beating an Israelite slave, leading him to flee Egypt; Arrived in Midian, a land east of Egypt, where he met his wife Zipporah; Returned to Egypt with his brother Aaron; Led the Israelites out of slavery in an event known as the Exodus.

Moses delivered the laws of God to Israel, instituted the priesthood under the sons of Moses’ brother Aaron, and destroyed those Israelites who fell away from his worship.
At the heart of Moses’ teaching was the “Shema” (meaning “hear”), a confession of faith recited by Jews up to this present day (Deut. 6:4–9). It affirms that “the LORD is one.” He is the supreme Creator, the most high God. The pagan world in that time had many “gods” competing for their attention.
The book of Exodus teaches that the Lord is the one true God and the ruler of all creation. And when the Lord decides to do something, no one can stop him. Exodus can be divided into three parts. Most of the events in the first part (1-3) take place in Egypt, where the people of Israel had been made slaves by the king.
Moses had all of the right characteristics and was the perfect fit as a leader. He was humble, empathetic, faithful, and a hero for the Jews. He also had both patience and wisdom, and was introspective in his thoughts. God recognized these traits, which are called out throughout the Bible.
