Chapter 10 moses abandoned

When the situation became more and more hopeless, the wise leader Moses decided to lead the people to leave the land that regarded them as "foreigners" and return to the homeland where they could establish a country. Fourteen hundred years before the birth of Christ, Ramses I ruled the Nile Valley.At this time, the relationship between the Jews and the Egyptians reached a point of tension. Guests who were welcome hundreds of years ago are now rejected everywhere.Egypt's rulers have always favored large palaces and buildings, but pyramids have fallen out of fashion.Roads, barracks, and dykes are now to be repaired, and the king's land is in constant need of labor.The pay for this labor was so low that the Egyptians refused to do it, so they forced the Jews to do it.

Despite this, a large number of Jews remained in the city to do business.This is an important reason why Egyptians are jealous of Jews.They couldn't compete with the Jews, so they asked the king to kill all the Jews.This was not easy to do, but the king who loved his subjects thought of another way. He ordered that all Jewish newborn boys be killed.Although this method is simple, it is very cruel. There was a Jew named Amram and his wife named Joki. They had two children, a boy named Aaron and a girl named Miriam. When the king ordered the killing of newborn Jews, their third child Moses was born up.They decided to save this little life at all costs.

They hid Xiao Mo at home and were not found for three months.Later, neighbors heard the baby crying and started talking about it, making the home unsafe. Joki, the mother, came to the Nile River with her son in her arms.She wove a basket, and covered the sides with mastic.She put the baby in this humble cradle.Let him drift into the wide world alone. moses abandoned Because of the slow water flow and shallow river course, the small boat was blocked by the reeds by the river before going far.What luck! The king's daughter was swimming there.Her maid found the little basket and fished it up.The four month old baby is absolutely adorable.The princess decided to adopt him, and for this she sent for a nanny.

Moses' sister Miriam, who had been hiding nearby and watching, came forward and said she knew a suitable sitter.Then she ran home to find her mother. Thus, at least one Jewish baby escaped the Holocaust and was educated aristocratically under the care of his anonymous mother. It was a strange fate. While Moses' older brother worked in a brick factory and was whipped at every turn, Moses was wandering around in gorgeous clothes, but deep down, Moses considered himself a Jew. One day, Moses saw an Egyptian beating an old Jew, he stopped him and beat the Egyptian, not wanting to beat him too hard, and the Egyptian died.If word of this got out, Moses was in danger of being put to death.

A few days later, two Jews had a quarrel in the street, and Moses stepped forward to persuade them.One of them laughed at him and said, "You think you are our master? Do you want to kill us too? Like that Egyptian." News of Moses' killing spread quickly, and Pharaoh ordered Moses to be arrested.Moses was a quick boy, and when he got wind of it he ran away. This is a wise move, if Moses stayed in Egypt, even if he was forgiven, he would be completely assimilated by Egypt.And now, the princess's adopted son has escaped trial and is a poor exile. He was wandering in the desert near the Red Sea. One day he came to a well, and happened to meet the daughters of Jethro, a nearby priest, driving their flocks to drink water. Every evening, the nearby shepherds would drive their flocks. Come here to drink water, so quarrels often occur because of the order.This time, a shepherd insisted on getting ahead of the priest's daughters. Moses helped the girls and was invited to the priest's house for dinner.

Moses thus became a shepherd like his predecessors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and he married Jethro's daughter Zipporah.Live the simple life of a desert tribe. In the desolate desert, Moses found his calling.His people had turned their backs on the teachings that had guided their ancestors through all odds and dangers.They have forgotten the Almighty God, Jehovah.Confidence in the greatness of the nation was lost. In short, the luxurious life of Egypt and the increasing poverty of the Jews had threatened the independence and individuality of their nation. Moses re-established his faith in the great power of Yahweh.He decided to save the people.

When he heard the call of the Lord from the burning bush, he felt a deep sense of his calling.He declared that he would follow that great will, that he would return to Egypt, do a great deed, lead his people, cross the Sinai desert, and migrate to another country. However, the difficulty is unimaginable. At this time, King Ramses is dead, and the successor may not know the murder, so Moses can return to Egypt safely.But his people didn't believe him. Slavery is a poison to the soul which makes the oppressed weak and cowardly.Although the life of the Jews in Egypt was unfortunate, they were guaranteed three meals a day.Of course it's nice to talk about a free life, a free country, but that piece of land is thousands of miles away, and it's still in the hands of aliens, who will spend months crossing the scorching desert of Sinai, and may have to fight , in the end, whether it will be successful or not is still unknown.

princess loves Moses, like many great leaders, had boundless courage and extraordinary perseverance, but unfortunately, Moses was not a good orator.When he couldn't convince his own people, he lost patience.So he handed over the initial persuasion work to his brother Aaron, and he himself focused on the specific work before action. He took courage to go to Pharaoh and ask permission for the departure of the Jews who had come to Egypt in the time of the great governor Joseph. His request was arrogantly refused.But the Jews who toiled in the king's brickworks were avenged.Now they are regarded as escaped prisoners, and the work is even heavier.The straw used to make bricks used to be supplied, but now they have to bring their own, and the number of bricks per day has not decreased.This means an increase in the amount of labor.The new rules made the Jews even more disgusted with Moses: You better go back to your desert! Let us have a few days of peace.angered Pharaoh, woe to us all!

At last Moses woke up to the danger he was in. So he sent his wife and children back to his father-in-law's home.Stay on your own and get things done.He kept trying to persuade the Jews to go with him, but with little success.He tried to convince them that Jehovah was speaking to them.They must leave the land of slaves, or God's promise to Abraham that the Jews would become a great people would never be fulfilled. The Jews just listened, murmured, and didn't act.Years of slave life destroyed their faith, they no longer believe in the power of the old God, they prefer to be slaves.

Moses understood that no one would move without coercion.He has no ability to persuade his people, let alone change Pharaoh's will, only Yahweh can do it.At this critical moment, Yahweh did not abandon his servant. He asked Moses to go to Pharaoh again, warning him that terrible things would happen if he did not follow Yahweh's advice. The second time Moses and Aaron came to the palace, they were rejected again.So Aaron took out his scepter and stroked it in the Nile River, and the water immediately turned red and could not be drunk, so people had to dig a well. Pharaoh heard the cry of the thirsty people, but he refused to let the Jews leave.

It was the first disaster, and then another. The banks of the Nile were full of frogs, and now millions of slimy critters crawled out of the swamps and jumped all over the country, and they entered houses and jumped into wells, creating a panic.The king hesitated when he saw frogs hopping all over the palace.He told Moses to get the little animals away quickly, and he could allow the Jews to go.But when Moses got rid of the frogs, the king stopped talking about the Jews leaving.
