Moses
Moses’ life stretches from a threatened infancy in Egypt to a final view of the promised land from Mount Nebo. Between those scenes he confronts Pharaoh, leads a difficult people, mediates covenant instruction and repeatedly intercedes after failure.
Moses in the larger story
The Torah is closely associated with Moses, and later biblical writers measure prophets, leaders and deliverance against his life. The New Testament frequently places Jesus and Moses in conversation.
Interpretive caution: Major scholarly reconstructions place the exodus in different centuries; the site shows the disagreement rather than selecting a precise year.
