Moses is the link between the times of bondage in Egypt and wandering in the wilderness. God raised him up to lead the people to freedom and the promised land.

Adventures of Moses

Moses was born under an edict by the Pharoah that he (and all Israelite male babies) be killed. By God's providence he escaped death and was brought up in the Pharoah's palace.

1 God Calls Moses

Moses killed a cruel Egyptian task master, and had to run away.

Later in life, God commissioned Moses to release his people from their enslavement.

Moses confronted Pharoah, and with the aid of the miraculous ten plagues, eventually got Pharoah to let the people go free.

He took them across the Red Sea as they made exodus from Egypt.

After that, he led them through forty years of wandering in the wilderness.

A brief account of the story of Moses is provided in Acts 7:17-42, part of the speech made by Stephen.
