A basket among the reeds
A threatened child is drawn from the water.
Moses’ story begins with vulnerable children and people who refuse to treat their lives as disposable. Before Moses speaks or leads, a mother, a sister and Pharaoh’s daughter act to preserve his life.
Family
Moses belongs to a Levite family. Numbers names his parents as Amram and Jochebed.
Numbers 26:59
Hidden
His mother hides him for three months, then places him in a waterproofed basket among the reeds.
Exodus 2:1–10
Name
Pharaoh’s daughter names him Moses, connecting the name with drawing him out of water.
Exodus 2:1–10
Courage before Moses
Shiphrah and Puah fear God and preserve the male children, rather than obeying the king’s command.
Exodus 1:15–17
A sister’s intervention
The watching sister offers to find a Hebrew nurse; the child’s own mother is brought to nurse him.
Exodus 2:1–10
Two households
After being nursed by his mother, the child is brought to Pharaoh’s daughter and becomes her son.
Exodus 2:1–10
Notice what is named
The river scene calls the girl “his sister,” without giving her name there. Numbers identifies Miriam as the sister of Moses and Aaron. Pharaoh’s daughter is not personally named in the Exodus scene.
Exodus 2:1–10
Numbers 26:59
Greek:
Transliteration:
An exile in Midian
A violent intervention ends in flight; a new household begins.
Moses sees oppression, kills an Egyptian and discovers that his action is known. He flees to Midian. At a well he helps a family, and the narrative moves from Egyptian power to life as a stranger.
Departure
Moses flees after Pharaoh seeks to kill him.
Exodus 2:11–15
Household
He marries Zipporah and names a son Gershom.
Exodus 2:16–22
Age marker
Stephen places his visit to his fellow Israelites at age forty and the burning bush forty years later.
Acts 7:22–30
A burden seen
Moses looks on his people’s burdens, but his killing of the Egyptian does not bring the freedom he expects.
Exodus 2:11–15
Acts 7:22–30
Help at the well
He stands up for the priest’s daughters and waters their flock.
Exodus 2:16–22
A stranger’s name
Gershom’s naming is connected with Moses being a stranger in a strange land.
Exodus 2:16–22
Do not turn every action into an example
The narrative records the killing; it is not a command to imitate it. Stephen says Moses supposed his people would understand his role, but they did not.
Exodus 2:11–15
Acts 7:22–30
Greek:
Transliteration:
Called from the fire
“Who am I?” meets the promise of God’s presence.
While tending Jethro’s flock, Moses turns aside to a bush that burns without being consumed. God identifies himself, speaks of Israel’s suffering and sends Moses back to Pharaoh. Moses responds with questions and objections.
Place
Moses comes to Horeb, described as the mountain of God.
Exodus 3:1–6
Commission
God sends him to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.
Exodus 3:10–12
Help
Aaron is appointed as a spokesman as God promises to teach them what to say and do.
Exodus 4:10–16
Turn aside
God calls Moses by name, and Moses is told to remove his shoes on holy ground.
Exodus 3:1–6
Suffering seen
God says he has seen the affliction and heard the cry of his people. The call begins with God’s concern, not Moses’ credentials.
Exodus 3:7–9
A name and a promise
Moses asks about God’s name. The KJV records “I AM THAT I AM,” followed by the name of the LORD, the God of the fathers.
Exodus 3:13–15
A concern, not a diagnosis
Moses calls himself slow of speech and tongue. The passage does not give a medical diagnosis. Do not turn his words into a certainty about a particular speech condition.
Exodus 4:10–16
Greek:
Transliteration:
Before Pharaoh
A refusal, a heavier burden and signs of judgment.
Moses and Aaron deliver the demand that Israel be released to serve the LORD. Pharaoh refuses and makes the work harder. The signs and plagues confront his resistance; the story attributes deliverance to God, not to a magical staff.
Ages
Moses is eighty and Aaron eighty-three when they speak to Pharaoh.
Exodus 7:6–7
Response
Pharaoh refuses to let Israel go.
Exodus 5:1–2
First plague
The river’s water turns to blood.
Exodus 7:20–21
A demand to serve
Moses and Aaron ask for the people’s release for a feast to the LORD. Pharaoh rejects the demand.
Exodus 5:1–2
Harder, not easier
The people must gather their own straw while the required number of bricks remains unchanged.
Exodus 5:6–9
Darkness before departure
The ninth plague brings three days of darkness in Egypt; Israel has light in its dwellings.
Exodus 10:21–23
Leave the unnamed unnamed
These passages call the ruler Pharaoh without identifying him by an Egyptian personal name. This study does not ask you to guess a dynasty, a precise date or a film’s version of his identity.
Exodus 5:1–2
Exodus 7:6–7
Greek:
Transliteration:
A night to remember
Blood on the doorposts; a meal eaten ready to leave.
The Passover instructions join a specific meal, a sign on the houses, judgment and remembrance. Read the details carefully: the people are to eat prepared for departure, and the event is to be remembered by later generations.
The animal
The instructions specify an unblemished male of the first year, from the sheep or goats.
Exodus 12:5–14
The sign
Blood is placed on the two side posts and the upper doorpost.
Exodus 12:5–14
The memory
The day is to be kept as a memorial and feast to the LORD.
Exodus 12:5–14
Ready to go
Shoes on their feet and staff in hand, the people eat in haste.
Exodus 12:5–14
A terrible judgment
The firstborn in Egypt die. The passage records a great cry rather than treating suffering as spectacle.
Exodus 12:29–32
Release
Pharaoh calls Moses and Aaron by night and tells them and Israel to leave and serve the LORD.
Exodus 12:29–32
The text before the symbol
The Passover belongs first to Israel’s deliverance from Egypt. Hebrews later recalls Moses keeping it by faith. Read that stated connection without inventing a meaning for every meal detail.
Exodus 12:5–14
Hebrews 11:24–29
Greek:
Transliteration:
A way through the sea
Fear at the water gives way to deliverance and song.
The people are told not to fear, and then to go forward. Moses stretches out his hand, but the account says the LORD drives the sea back. The crossing leads to recognition of God’s saving action and to Miriam’s song.
Guidance
A pillar of cloud by day and fire by night leads the people.
Exodus 13:21–22
The crossing
The Israelites walk on dry ground, with water on both sides.
Exodus 14:21–22
The response
The people fear and believe the LORD and his servant Moses.
Exodus 14:30–31
Do not fear
Moses tells the people to see the LORD’s salvation. The next command is to go forward.
Exodus 14:13–16
The way opens
The LORD uses a strong east wind through the night to drive the sea back.
Exodus 14:21–22
Remember in song
Miriam leads the women with timbrels and dancing, praising the LORD’s triumph.
Exodus 15:20–21
A story route, not an archaeological map
The app’s journey is an order of events, not a claim to locate the crossing on a modern map. Hebrews names the Red sea; no disputed modern crossing site is a quiz answer.
Exodus 14:21–22
Hebrews 11:24–29
Greek:
Transliteration:
Bread for the wilderness
Daily bread teaches dependence; water answers thirst.
Freedom from Egypt does not remove hunger and thirst. Moses teaches the people to receive God’s provision under specific instructions. Manna is gathered daily, with a different provision before the Sabbath.
Bread
Moses identifies manna as the bread the LORD has given them.
Exodus 16:14–18
Rhythm
On the sixth day the people gather twice as much; none is to be gathered on the seventh.
Exodus 16:22–26
Water
At Horeb, Moses is explicitly told to strike the rock.
Exodus 17:5–7
A daily test
The command to gather a daily portion tests whether the people will walk in God’s law.
Exodus 16:4
Enough for each
The gathered manna is measured so that those with much have no surplus and those with little have no lack.
Exodus 16:14–18
A question beneath the thirst
The rock account ends with the question, “Is the LORD among us, or not?”
Exodus 17:5–7
Two rock accounts, not one
At Horeb in Exodus, God commands Moses to strike. In the later Numbers account, God commands him to speak. The later failure cannot be explained by pretending the earlier instruction never happened.
Exodus 17:5–7
Numbers 20:7–12
Greek:
Transliteration:
Not carried alone
Hands are supported; responsibility is shared.
The story does not present leadership as endless personal capacity. Aaron and Hur support Moses’ hands while Joshua fights. Jethro then challenges a pattern of judging that would exhaust Moses and the people.
On the hill
Aaron and Hur support Moses’ hands.
Exodus 17:9–13
In the battle
Joshua leads the fight against Amalek.
Exodus 17:9–13
Counsel
Jethro says that carrying all the judging alone is too heavy.
Exodus 18:17–23
A practical support
Moses sits on a stone while two others hold up his hands until sunset.
Exodus 17:9–13
Listen to correction
Jethro names the cost of the current arrangement for Moses and for those waiting for judgment.
Exodus 18:17–23
Character matters
The proposed judges are able, God-fearing, truthful and opposed to covetousness. Difficult matters still come to Moses.
Exodus 18:17–23
Keep the helpers distinct
Joshua is fighting; Aaron and Hur are on the hill. Jethro is the adviser in the next chapter. Shared leadership does not mean everyone has the same role.
Exodus 17:9–13
Exodus 18:17–23
Greek:
Transliteration:
A people at Sinai
Delivered from bondage; called into a covenant.
At Sinai, God first recalls what he has done in bringing the people to himself. The commandments are spoken to a people already brought out of Egypt. Moses communicates the covenant, and the sanctuary instructions speak of God dwelling among them.
Identity
Israel is called to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
Exodus 19:4–6
The opening
Before the prohibitions, God identifies himself as the one who brought them out of bondage.
Exodus 20:1–17
The tablets
The two stone tablets are described as written with the finger of God.
Exodus 31:18
Hear the words
The commandments address worship, God’s name, rest, family and life with one’s neighbour.
Exodus 20:1–17
A public covenant
Moses reads the book of the covenant, and the people answer with a commitment to obey.
Exodus 24:7–8
A dwelling among them
The sanctuary is to be made according to the pattern God shows Moses.
Exodus 25:8–9
Do not reverse the story
The deliverance from Egypt is recalled before the commandments. Traditions also divide and number the Ten Commandments differently; this guide studies the text without testing a denominational numbering scheme.
Exodus 19:4–6
Exodus 20:1–17
Greek:
Transliteration:
A broken covenant. A plea.
The golden calf, intercession and the promise of presence.
While Moses is delayed on the mountain, the people ask Aaron for gods to go before them. He makes a calf. Moses breaks the tablets, confronts the sin and returns to plead for forgiveness. The story moves through judgment, mercy and renewed covenant.
The maker
Aaron receives the gold and fashions the calf.
Exodus 32:1–4
The plea
Moses returns to God to ask forgiveness for the people’s great sin.
Exodus 32:30–32
The renewal
Moses is told to cut new tablets; God says he will write the earlier words on them.
Exodus 34:1
Broken tablets
Moses sees the calf and dancing, casts down the tablets and destroys the calf.
Exodus 32:19–20
Presence, not just a destination
Moses asks not to be carried forward without God’s presence.
Exodus 33:14–15
Glory and character
God proclaims his mercy, grace, patience, goodness, truth and justice. Moses’ request to see God’s glory is answered with a declaration of God’s character.
Exodus 34:6–7
Exodus 33:18–23
Read “face to face” in context
Exodus describes God speaking to Moses as a friend, but the same chapter says no one can see God’s face and live. Preserve both statements rather than using one to erase the other.
Exodus 33:11
Exodus 33:18–23
Greek:
Transliteration:
The long wilderness
Burden, criticism and a refusal to trust.
Numbers records the strain of leading the people, challenges to Moses and resistance after the report about the land. It also records shared responsibility, Moses’ prayer for Miriam and the different response of Joshua and Caleb.
Shared burden
God tells Moses to gather seventy elders to help bear the people’s burden.
Numbers 11:14–17
Character
The account describes Moses as very meek, or humble.
Numbers 12:1–3
The years
The forty days of searching the land are connected with forty years of wilderness judgment.
Numbers 14:33–34
Not alone
Moses says the burden is too heavy; God provides others to bear it with him.
Numbers 11:14–17
Prayer under criticism
Miriam and Aaron speak against Moses. Moses later prays for Miriam’s healing.
Numbers 12:13
Numbers 12:1–3
A different report
Joshua and Caleb call the people not to rebel or fear, because the LORD is with them.
Numbers 14:6–9
Do not flatten the wilderness
The journey contains repeated struggles, not one uninterrupted triumph. The text can call Moses faithful while still recording exhaustion and later failure.
Numbers 11:14–17
Numbers 12:7–8
Numbers 20:7–12
Greek:
Transliteration:
Water, failure and mercy
A command to speak, a rock struck twice and a consequence.
At the waters of Meribah in Numbers, Moses is told to speak to the rock. Instead, he strikes it twice. Water comes, but God rebukes Moses and Aaron and says they will not bring the congregation into the land. Another wilderness account later records Moses praying for the people and raising a serpent on a pole.
Instruction
Moses and Aaron are told to speak to the rock before the people.
Numbers 20:7–12
Action
Moses strikes the rock twice with his rod.
Numbers 20:7–12
Consequence
God says they did not believe him to sanctify him before Israel, and will not lead the people into the land.
Numbers 20:7–12
Compare the instructions
The earlier Horeb command was to strike. The later command in Numbers is to speak.
Exodus 17:5–7
Numbers 20:7–12
A result is not approval
Water comes abundantly, but the same passage records God’s rebuke.
Numbers 20:7–12
A plea and a raised serpent
When the people confess their sin, Moses prays. At God’s command he makes a serpent of brass; those bitten who look at it live.
Numbers 21:7–9
A stated connection to Jesus
John explicitly compares Moses lifting the serpent with the Son of Man being lifted up. That is a New Testament connection, not a reason to invent symbolism for every detail of the wilderness.
Numbers 21:7–9
John 3:14–15
Greek:
Transliteration:
A view beyond his lifetime
The words are passed on; Joshua is commissioned; Moses sees the land.
Moses calls the people to love God, teach the words to their children and choose life. Joshua is commissioned to lead after him. Moses sees the promised land from Nebo but does not cross into it; Deuteronomy closes with his death and a tribute to his unique role.
Successor
God directs Moses to commission Joshua, son of Nun.
Numbers 27:18–20
The view
Moses sees the land from Nebo, on the top of Pisgah.
Deuteronomy 34:1–12
The age
He dies at 120; the account says his eye is not dim and his natural force is not abated.
Deuteronomy 34:1–12
Love and teach
The words are to be in the heart and taught diligently in daily family life.
Deuteronomy 6:4–9
Strength for the next leader
Moses charges Joshua to be courageous and reminds him that the LORD goes before him.
Deuteronomy 31:7–8
A life concluded
Moses dies in Moab. The people mourn, and Joshua is described as full of the spirit of wisdom.
Deuteronomy 34:1–12
Do not put Moses across the Jordan
He sees the land but is explicitly told he will not go over. The story honours his service without removing the consequence already announced.

Moses in the New Testament
The later texts remember his faith and point to Christ.
The New Testament does not leave Moses behind as an isolated Old Testament figure. It recalls his faith, records him at Jesus’ transfiguration and uses his story in explicit comparisons. Follow the connections the writers actually make.
The mountain
Moses and Elijah appear with Jesus and speak about his departure to be accomplished at Jerusalem.
Luke 9:30–35
The comparison
Hebrews describes Moses as a faithful servant and Christ as a Son over the house.
Hebrews 3:1–6
The remembrance
Hebrews recalls Moses’ choice, endurance, Passover and the crossing of the sea in its account of faith.
Hebrews 11:24–29
A prophet like Moses
Deuteronomy promises a prophet like Moses; Peter cites this promise in a speech about Jesus.
Acts 3:20–22
Bread and its giver
Jesus says Moses did not give the bread from heaven, identifies the Father as giver and declares himself the bread of life.
John 6:32–35
Listen to the Son
At the transfiguration, the voice from the cloud identifies Jesus as the beloved Son and says to hear him.
Luke 9:30–35
Comparison is not identity
Hebrews honours Moses’ faithfulness but distinguishes servant and Son. The point is not that Moses is Jesus, or that everything Moses ever did is a direct prediction.

מֹשֶׁה
Transliteration: Mōsheh
Moses
Strong’s number: H4872
The name of Moses. Exodus connects his naming with being drawn out of water; that narrative explanation need not settle every question about the name’s linguistic history.
עָבַד
Transliteration: ʿābad
Serve / work
Strong’s number: H5647
A verb for working or serving. In the calling passage, deliverance from Egypt leads to serving God on the mountain. Context determines the sense.
פֶּסַח

Passover
Strong’s number: H6453
The Passover. The narrative uses this name for the LORD’s Passover and instructs the people to remember it.
תּוֹרָה
Transliteration: tôrâ
Instruction / law
Strong’s number: H8451
Instruction or law. In the manna account, the daily gathering tests whether the people will walk in God’s law. Do not assume “law” means only the Ten Commandments in every context.
בְּרִית

Covenant
Strong’s number: H1285
Covenant. At Sinai the people are called to keep God’s covenant; Moses reads the book of the covenant to them.
מִשְׁכָּן

Dwelling / tabernacle
Strong’s number: H4908
A dwelling place or tabernacle. Exodus connects the sanctuary with God dwelling among the people and instructs Moses to follow the shown pattern.
עָנָו
Transliteration: ʿānāv
Humble / meek
Strong’s number: H6035
Humble or meek. Numbers applies this description to Moses. It is a character description, not a claim that he never speaks strongly or makes mistakes.
ἔξοδος
Transliteration: exodos
Departure
Strong’s number: G1841
A departure or going out. Luke uses this Greek word for Jesus’ departure at Jerusalem, rendered “decease” in the KJV. The shared word invites careful comparison, not a claim that both events are identical.
Exodus 1:15–17
15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
Exodus 2:1–10
1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
Numbers 26:59
59 And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.
Exodus 2:11–15
11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
Exodus 2:16–22
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
20 And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
Acts 7:22–30
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
26 And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.
30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
Exodus 3:1–6
1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
Exodus 3:7–9
7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
Exodus 3:10–12
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
Exodus 3:13–15
13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
Exodus 4:10–16
10 And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
13 And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.
14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
15 And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
16 And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.
Exodus 5:1–2
1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
Exodus 5:6–9
6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
8 And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
9 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
Exodus 7:6–7
6 And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
7 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
Exodus 7:20–21
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.

15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.

15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
16 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.

24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.

Exodus 17:9–13
9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Exodus 18:17–23

19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:
20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.
23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
Exodus 19:4–6
4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
Exodus 20:1–17
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.

2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Exodus 32:19–20
19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
Exodus 32:30–32
30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

Exodus 40:34–38
34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
37 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
38 For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
Numbers 11:14–17
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.

16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.

8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
Deuteronomy 31:7–8
7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.

Deuteronomy 34:1–12
1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
3 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
4 And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
11 In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.

30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

John 6:32–35
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Acts 3:20–22
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
Hebrews 3:1–6
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
Hebrews 11:24–29
24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
King James Version
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
“Who am I?” is answered with “Certainly I will be with thee.” Read the promise together with the task and the sign, not as an isolated slogan.
World English Bible
10 Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”
11 Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
12 He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”
Modern “you” replaces the older “thee.” The promise of God’s presence remains central. Verse 10 begins within an ongoing speech; its closing quotation mark is retained.
American Standard Version
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be the token unto thee, that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
Notice the promised destination: serving God upon this mountain. Freedom from Egypt is joined to worship and service.
Young’s Literal Translation
10 and now, come, and I send thee unto Pharaoh, and bring thou out My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.'
11 And Moses saith unto God, `Who [am] I, that I go unto Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt?'
12 and He saith, `Because I am with thee, and this [is] to thee the sign that I have sent thee: in thy bringing out the people from Egypt -- ye do serve God on this mount.'
Young’s keeps distinctive sentence structure and uses “Because I am with thee.” Square brackets show supplied words in this edition; wording is not a separate promise.
Darby Translation
10 And now come, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 And Moses said to God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 And he said, For I will be with thee; and this shall be the sign to thee that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
Darby uses “For I will be with thee” and “sign” where KJV uses “token.” Compare the wording without assuming each difference changes the meaning.
