Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Rescued Baby. Privileged child in the court of the Egyptian Pharaoh. Murderer. Shepherd. Prophet. These and many other terms describe Moses, the most important figure in the Old Testament of the Bible. While he is best known for leading the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt to the Promised Land, he was also human. He was not always patient and several times flew into rages when the Israelites didn't act the way he wanted them to. Yet Moses' determination and willingness to follow God's path for him shaped the events in the Old Testament. But it is not always easy for historians to know what is true about him. The events of Moses' life have given scientists, archaeologists, and religious scholars much to ponder for over three thousand years.
