Moses

Moses (/ˈmzɪz, -zɪs/;Hebrew: מֹשֶׁה, Modern Moshe Tiberian Mōšéh ISO 259-3 Moše; Syriac: ܡܘܫܐ Moushe; Arabic: موسى Mūsā; Greek: Mωϋσῆς Mōÿsēs in both the Septuagint and the New Testament) is a prophet in Abrahamic religions. According to the Hebrew Bible, he was a former Egyptian prince who later in life became a religious leader and lawgiver, to whom the authorship of the Torah is traditionally attributed. The historical consensus is that Moses is not an historical figure. Also called Moshe Rabbenu in Hebrew (מֹשֶׁה רַבֵּנוּ, lit. "Moses our Teacher"), he is the most important prophet in Judaism. He is also an important prophet in Christianity, Islam, Baha'ism as well as a number of other faiths.

According to the Book of Exodus, Moses was born in a time when his people, the Israelites, an enslaved minority, were increasing in numbers and the Egyptian Pharaoh was worried that they might ally with Egypt's enemies. Moses' Hebrew mother, Jochebed, secretly hid him when the Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed in order to reduce the population of the Israelites. Through the Pharaoh's daughter (identified as Queen Bithia in the Midrash), the child was adopted as a foundling from the Nile river and grew up with the Egyptian royal family. After killing an Egyptian slavemaster (because the slavemaster was smiting a Hebrew), Moses fled across the Red Sea to Midian, where he encountered the God of Israel speaking to him from within a "burning bush which was not consumed by the fire" on Mount Horeb (which he regarded as the Mountain of God).

Moses (given name)

Moses or Moshe is a male given name, after the biblical figure Moses.

According to the Torah, the name "Moses" comes from the Hebrew verb, meaning "to pull/draw out" [of water], and the infant Moses was given this name by Pharaoh's daughter after rescuing him from the Nile (Exodus 2:10). Some scholars have suggested that the name was derived from the Egyptian word for "son" rather than from Hebrew.

    Moses

    by: Slick Rick

    I try to block it out my mind
    As you see [at] Ruler show€™s is inquirin' noses
    Goin' into a story about a kid named Moses
    Once a prophet was to be born, so for anything else furthered
    Pharaoh orders every first-born son murdered
    One got away, a girl with profit bound with her
    Gently put him in a basket, went floatin' down the river
    Then ends up by a Pharaoh relative ol' honey peeped in
    Couldn't breed herself and was determined to keep him
    "Don't say a word", she told her slave who was a real witch
    "Snitch, it'll definitely be the last day you breathe bitch"
    While kids slaughtered, 'cause they was [in] front of them
    Soldiers tellin' the king that they murdered every one of them
    "Thanks" said Pharoah, guys were a friend to him
    Sister showin' her baby sayin' the river God sent him
    To her brother who arose and said, "whoa sis"
    Curious I suppose this, the upward knows about Moses
    As time passed he proved he wasn't the type to beg or borrow
    Grew to conquer lands like ain't no tomorrow
    Made the Sun King jealous 'cause he couldn't do what Mo' did
    "Pops I'm not to happy the way y'all jockin' this Mo' kid"
    "Son, this rash behavior ruins every feast or bash"
    "And why complain, now where's the temple I asked you to build, you piece of trash?"
    "Two of you switch... Mo' you build it and you'll find a supreme hero"
    "Built it, anything else, you need Pharaoh?"
    King hears startin' to shares my crown
    One said, "How can he?"
    But sister not takin' any chance and threw the hooker off the balcony
    But word still got to King, who then cold cursed Blessed
    Stripped him of his honors and dumped him in the desert
    But Mo' returned for the people, with his chest stiff out saw
    King said, "You want war? Make brick without straw"
    That's a son not being king, the shorty no good rose his
    Unhappy I suppose this, the upward knows about Moses
    The new King said, "As for your threats, brother stuff it"
    "Boy, what do I do now?" prayed the Prophet
    Then a vision said "chill" and prophecy filled
    Scorn build, hails the fire, all their first-born killed
    It was gettin' scary for the king, this made the sufferin' go by merrier
    "You win, take these peasants, get the flock out of my area"
    Poor villain, still in heat, didn't want Mo' to fulfill 'em
    Wasn't chillin', "then I flat send the troop to go and kill him"
    So Mo' parts the sea, went across and said "run" and
    Did some ol' abracadabra and water fell upon 'em
    The soldiers that is, since Moses was suaver
    Then Mo' in the mountains havin' a convo with the father
    Came back with the tens, seen pantyhose droppin', partner swappin'
    Folks wasn't into what po' Mo was poppin'
    So the Earth shook and killed those, bible text closes
    Talked about a time when idle worshippin' foes had met Moses
