Moses

Moses, which means drawn or saved from the water, was the legislator of the Jewish people, and in a certain sense, the founder of the Jewish religion. He was born to Amram and Jochabed at Goshen, in Egypt, in 1571 B.C. The history of his life naturually divides itself into three periods of forty years each. The first part details his life as an Egyption in the Pharaoh's court. The second period began when he was forty years old, and became determined to bring about an end to the surffering of the Istraelites under the Egyptians. He spent forty years communing with God and nature up until the time when God appeared to him in a burning bush and appointed him to be the leader and deliverer of his people. The third period of forty years is the history of Moses intertwined with the history of Israel, where Moses appears as both a leader and a prophet.
