2. Moses-
Moses was born to a Hebrew family, but because the Jews were growing in numbers and strength, the Pharaoh of Egypt ordered that all their male babies be killed.
He was spared this fate because his mother placed him in a basket on the river. The Pharaoh’s daughter found the basket and rescued the baby to raise as her own.
Moses grew up in the palace among Pharaoh’s family. As he grew he learned of his own family’s plight as slaves.
Moses chose to renounce his royal family and assist his Hebrew family. He was banished from the kingdom.
God later called him back to Egypt to lead the Israelites from slavery into the land promised to Abraham’s family.
Moses did not see himself as the man God could use to take on such a task. However, through faith he led the Israelites as God desired.
The story of Moses can be found in the Old Testament of the Bible in the books Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy
