What's In The Bible: Heroes Of The Old TestamentНамуна

After Joseph's family went to live with him in Egypt, they started to have children and grandchildren. Egypt was full of Israelites! A new pharaoh decided that he didn't like all of the Israelites living in his country, so he made them all slaves. Pharaoh's daughter saved a baby Israelite boy named Moses. One day when he was older, Moses was out with his sheep, he saw something strange: a bush that was on fire but it wasn't being burned up! It was God coming to talk to Moses. God told Moses that the Israelites were suffering in Egypt, and that He wanted Moses to lead them out of slavery and to the Promised Land, which God had promised to Abraham. So Moses obeyed God and went back to Egypt and rescued the Israelites with God's help. Moses was faithful when God asked him to do hard things, and God worked through Moses to save His people from slavery!
