PROPHET MOSES (1300 - 1220 BC)

PROPHET MOSES (1300 - 1220 BC)

In the thirteenth century BC, the Hebrews lived in Egypt where they lived under the torment of the rulers. At one point, the Pharaoh ordered that all Hebrew male babies should be killed. To save Moses, his mother placed him in a basket, which was made of grass, and floated him into the Nile. As she hopes, the baby will be rescued by Pharaoh's daughter and brought him to live in the Royal palace. When Musa grew older and matured, he persuaded the people to come with him, which in the end, although reluctantly, Pharaoh Ramses II (1292 - 1225 BC) also allowed. Moses then took the Hebrews out of Egypt, after which it is said that they spent 40 years wandering through Sinai to the promised land (to be occupied), which is now Israel.

In about 1250 BC, God appeared to Moses as a burning bush (Tree) on the slopes of Mount Sinai. God gave Moses two stones which contained a set of laws known as the Ten Commandments. Moses brought the two stones to his people and they endorsed them as basic moral teachings for the Jews. Christians then took the Ten Commandments and today they are the fundamental beliefs of more than 1.6 billion Christians.

Despite his fame, reliable information about the life of Moses is scarce. It has even been speculated (although not accepted by most scholars) that Moses was actually Egyptian, since his name has Egyptian and not Jewish origins. (The name Musa means "son" or "son," and was widely used as part of many pharaohs). The Old Testament contains stories about Moses which have almost no meaning because they are filled with all kinds of miracles. Stories about Moses being able to cause havoc, about Moses being able to turn his staff into a snake, are examples of events that are out of the ordinary of nature.

Things like this burden people with impossibility so that they straighten the way so that people believe how Moses, who is now eighty years old, is capable of doing cxodus, leading the Jewish people across the desert in a period of not less than forty years. Actually we want to know exactly what Moses actually managed to do before his stories were buried in the undergrowth of the world of fairy tales.

Many parties wish to carry out a reasonable interpretation of the treasures of the Bible stories, for example about the ten testaments of prohibition, about the crossing of the Red Sea. However, the most favorite of the Old Testament stories regarding the life of Moses are the tales that can be compared with mythological stories. years 2360 - 2005 BC.

In general, there are three major results associated with the deeds of Moses. First, he is considered a political figure who led the Jews to make a large-scale migration from Egypt. In this case, it was clear he deserved the award. Second, he succeeded as the author of the first five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy), which are often associated with the "Five books of Moses" and make up the Jewish Torah. This book includes the code of Moses, the set of laws on which Jewish conduct is based in the Bible, including the "Ten Commandments". From the point of view of the magnitude of the influence, especially the Torah and the Ten Commandments in general, the writers can no longer be classified as great people who have had a lasting influence. However, most Bible scholars agree that Moses was not the only author of the book. The book was evidently written by several authors and most of it was not written before the death of Moses. It is possible that Moses played some role in codifying Jewish customs or even laying down Jewish laws, but there is no definite proof of the extent and extent of his role.

Later, many people regarded Moses as the enforcer of Jewish monotheism. There seems to be no compelling reason to support that assumption. The only source of information we know about Moses is the Old Testament, and the Old Testament clearly and unambiguously relates to Abraham as the enforcer of monotheism. However, it is also true that Jewish monotheism cannot be dissimilar without Moses and is beyond question. Moses did hold a decisive role in terms of preserving and spreading . In this case, of course, lies the importance of its biggest role after Christianity and Islam, the two largest religions in the world, both of which have their origins in monotheism. The idea that there is one God, in which Moses believed wholeheartedly, eventually spread to most of the world.
