Moses As A Leader
Throughout Exodus and ending in Deutoronomy, the tale of Moses is told. Moses faces adversity from the start, beginning with his birth. His life takes many turns, all are for the better, but also very surprising. Moses's story begins when he is born to a Hebrew woman. Previous to his arrival, the Pharoah had commanded that all sons born to Hebrews be "cast into the Nile."

Later in his story, Moses comes full circle. With God's help, he successfully leads the people of Israel out of Egypt. Moses speaks clearly here, as if not plagued by uncircumcised lips anymore. In chapter fourteen, Moses has power to split the sea. Then in chapter eighteen, after he faces many conflicts among the people, he is able to set up court systems t
