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.

Moses was born under an edict by the Pharaoh that he (and all Israelite male babies) be killed. By God's providence he escaped death and was brought up in the Pharaoh'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 Pharaoh, and with the aid of the miraculous ten plagues, eventually got Pharaoh 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.
