Prophet Moses

A great prophet and lawgiver of the Israelites came from the tribe of Levi. He was born in Egypt around 1570 B.C. and was raised by the daughter of Pharaoh. In all his undertakings and actions, he was an instrument in the hands of the Almighty. He was a man to whom God revealed the mysteries of existence: the creation of the world and man. On Mount Sinai, he received from God the 10 commandments. By the power of God, he performed great signs and wonders. He passed away at the age of 120 in the land of Moab. He was buried in the valley near Beth-Peor, but 'no one knows the place of his burial even to this day.'

The books of the Bible – Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy – recount his life.
