HED: 9 Things You Don't Know About Moses In The Bible

in christinity •  7 years ago  (edited)


Moses was the first abandoned child mentioned in the Bible.

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. (Ex. 2:3)
.

Moses gave God five lame excuses for why he couldn’t be Israel’s deliverer.

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. (Exodus 4:10)
.

Moses saw God.

“Under his feet was something like a pavement made of sapphire, clear as the sky itself. But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank” (Ex. 24:9-11)
.

Moses didn’t write the Ten Commandments, God did.

“The LORD said to Moses, ‘Come up to me on the mountain and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commands I have written for their instruction’” (Ex. 24:12)
.

Moses was a songwriter.

“The Song of Moses” (Deu. 32:1-43)
.

Moses probably stuttered.

"O Lord, I'm not very good with words. I never have been, and I'm not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled." (Exodus 4:10)
.

Moses was extraordinarily humble

“a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth” (Num. 12:3).

Moses knew in advance the day of his death.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation. (Deut. 31:14)

God buried Moses on the mountain, and his grave was never found.

Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. 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. (Deu. 34:5-6).
