Once upon a time long ago in the land of Egypt lived a baby named Moses. Moses and his family were Israelites. Egyptians treated Israelites unfairly.
When Moses was still a baby the ruler of Egypt called Pharaoh made a law that every baby boy must be thrown in the river and drowned
Oh no! Not my baby!
EVERY BABY BOY SHALL BE THROWN IN THE RIVER. EVERY GIRL MAY LIVE.
Moses' parents hid Moses from the Pharaoh's guards for three months to keep him safe
Moses parents realized that they could nothide him anymore. She made a basket out of twigs and leaves and sent him down the Nile river
I hope he is ok
Moses sister named Miriam followed Moses to see where he went
Look! A baby in the river! He is so cute!
The Pharaoh's daughter found Moses floating in the river
She felt sorry for the baby in the river and decided she would take Moses home with her
The Pharaoh's daughter raised Moses in the palace. He was very happy.
When Moses was much older he saw one of Pharaoh's men hurting a Hebrew slave. This made him mad
Moses hit the man and let slave go free
This made Pharaoh very angry. He told Mosesto leave the palace and never come back.
Moses ran away from Pharaoh to a place called Midian
Moses worked as a shepherd in Midian for forty years
One day Moses was leading his flock to the mountain of God called Horeb. Then the angel of God appeared to him in a flame inside of a bush. The bush did not burn
Moses did not understand why the bush was not burning so he turned away from the bush
Moses Moses!
Moses heard God call his name
Here I am!
I am God. The God of of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Moses hid his face from God because he was afraid
The Egyptians are hurting the Israelites and they are scared. I have been listening to their cries for help. I am going to save them from the Egyptians and bring them to a perfect place.
Moses, I am sending you to rescue the Israelites from Pharaoh and set them free.
Who me? Why me? How could I save the Israelites?
I will always be with you to help you
What should the Israelites call you when I tell them you sent me?
I AM THAT I AM
Tell the people of Israel that the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob sent me to bring you to a perfect land
Moses convinced the Israelites to go with him
Israelites! I have been sent to free you from slavery!
LET THE ISRAELITES GO!
But first Moses had to convince Pharaoh to let the Israelites free
NO WAY!
God send down 10 plagues to force Pharaoh to let the Israelites go free
