Moses

The prophet who led Israel out of slavery in Egypt and received the Law at Mount Sinai.

Rescued as a baby and raised in Pharaoh’s household, Moses fled to Midian, met God at the burning bush, and returned to demand Israel’s release. Through the plagues and the parting of the sea, God delivered his people.
