Moses
Prophet and Lawgiver
Leader who delivered Israel from Egypt and received the Law at Sinai.
Moses is one of the most significant figures in the Bible, serving as prophet, lawgiver, and leader of the Israelites during their exodus from Egypt and journey through the wilderness. Born during Egypt's oppression of the Hebrews and raised in Pharaoh's household, Moses later encountered God at the burning bush and was commissioned to deliver his people. Through him, God performed mighty signs and wonders, gave the Ten Commandments, and established the covenant relationship with Israel.
