Among the bible stories, in my opinion, Moses’ story is the most attractive and moving. It’s mainly about the Hebrew hero Moses and his great contributions to his people.
Moses was a newborn son of a Hebrew woman. At that time, the king of Egypt gave orders to kill all Hebrew newborn boys and broke Israelites’ spirit by heavy labor because he was afraid of that those powerful Israelites may e the masters of Egypt. The little boy was protected well by his mother for 3 months but she could conceal no longer. So the mother laid the baby in a basket and put the basket among the reeds by the bank of the Nile. The baby was adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter and he became the prince of Egypt. The name Moses was given by pharaoh’s daughter.
Moses grew up. One day, he went to his Hebrew people and saw one was punished by an Egyptian. He killed the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand. But this was known by Pharaoh and he wanted to put Moses to death. So Moses made good in his escape and settled in the land of Midian where he got married and God gave him the mission of leading Israelites out of Egypt.
Moses and his brother Aaron went to Pharaoh and asked him to set those Israelites free and Pharaoh refused. Moses turned his staff into a serpent as God told him. But Pharaoh was very obstinate and didn’t listen to Moses and Aaron. Then Moses changed the water of the Nile into blood and Pharaoh was obdurate as before. Moses had to perform other signs such as the disasters of frogs, maggots, flies and grasshoppers, blights, murrain, disaster of hail and darkness, which still couldn’t persuade Pharaoh. At last, God killed all the first-borns in Egypt including the first-born of Pharaoh and this made e to terms.
When the king of Egypt was told that the Israelites had slipped away, he was seized with remorse.
