The best story of moses /

The best story of moses probably no person I’m history has been so widely admired as the great Hebrew prophet Moses.Furthermore,his father ,as well as the number of people who  respect him ,has steadily grown throughout the ages.It is most likely that  Moses flourish in the thirteenth century B.C. , since Ramses, generally through to be the pharaoh of the exodus story,died in 1237B.C.During moses lifetime,as the book of exodus makes clear, there were a fair number of  Hebrew who disagreed with his policies.Within a fair number of  Hebrews who disagreed with his policies.Within five centuries,however, Moses was reverday by all the Jewish people.By 500A.D,his fame and reputation had spread moses,

along with christinty, throughout much of europe.A century later, Muhammad recognized Moses as a true prophet and with the spread of Islam Moses became an admired figure throughout the Moslem world(even in Egypt).Today ,some thirty_two centuries after he lived ,Moses in honoured by Jewish Christians,and moslems alike ,and is even respected by many agnestics.Thanks to modern communicationshe is probably even,batter known today than he was in the past.Despite his renown, reliable information concerning Moses life is scared.there has even been speculation (not accepted by most scholars)that Moses was an Egyptian,since his name is of Egyptian rather than Hebrew , origin (It means “child or “son”,and occurs as part of the name of several famous pharaoh.)The old testament stories concerning Moses can hardly be accepted at face value,since they involve a large number of miracles.The stories of the burning bush,or of Moses turning his staff into  a serpent,for example,are basically miraculous I’m nature,and it does tax ones credulity, perhaps,to believe that Moses ,

who was already eighty years old at the time of the exodus,still managed to lead the Hebrews in a forty years trip through the desert surely ,we would to know exactly what the real Moses accomplished before his story was buried in an avalanche of legends .Many personas have tried to give natural interpretation to the biblical stories of the ten plagues and the crossing of the red sea.However ,most of the favorite old testament stories concerning Moses are legendary,with analogues in other mythologies.the story of Moses and the bulrushes ,for instance,is striking similar to a Babylonia story concerning Sargon of akkad a great king who resigned about 2360_2305 B.C In general ,there are three major achievement attribution to Moses . Firstly,he is credited with being the political figure who led the Hebrew in the exodus credit.second ,he is the reputed author of the first five books of the Bible (genesis, exodus, Leviticus number ,and  Deuteronomy ),which are often referred to as the “Five books of Moses “,and which constiy the Jewish Torah.Thes books include the  mosiac code ,the set of laws which in principal governed the conduct of the Jews in biblical time ,and which include the ten commandments .In view of the enormous influence which the Torah as a while and the ten commandments in particular have had ,their author would surely deserve to be considered a man of great and enduring influence.However,most biblical scholars agree that Moses was not the sole author of these books .The books were apparently written by several authorns,and great bulk of the material was not put into writing untill considerably after  Moses ,death .It is possible the Moses played some role in condifying existing Hebrew customers,or even in origination Hebrew laws, but there is really no way of judging how great his role was .Third ,many people,

consider,Moses to be the founder of Jewish monothcism .In one sense,there is no basis at all for such a clam.our only sourch of information concerning Moses is the old testament ;and the old testament explicitly and unambiguous credits arbrahamy with being the founder of monithesm . Nevertheless ,it is clear that Jewish monithesm would have died out had it not been for Moses,and he unquestion .In this ,of course,lies his greatest importance ,since Christianity and Islam,the two largest religion in the world,are both derived from Jewish monithesm,the idea of one true God which Moses believed in so passionately ,has eventually spread through a large part of the world.
