活動時期約西元前13世紀 猶太教中的先知。根據〈出埃及記〉所載，他出生於埃及，父母爲希伯來人。爲了逃過一項殺死所有希伯來新生兒男嬰的法令，他被放入蘆葦搖籃中漂到尼羅河上。他被法老王的女兒發現，在埃及宮廷長大。在他殺害殘忍的埃及工頭之後，他逃到米甸，雅赫維（即上帝）曾在此顯身於燃燒的樹叢中，召喚摩西將以色列人帶出埃及。在其兄弟亞倫的幫助下，摩西請求法老王釋放以色列人。在神降臨幾次瘟疫給埃及之後，法老王終於同意他的請求，但又派兵追捕他們。上帝將紅海海水分開讓以色列人通過，然後合攏阻擋追趕的埃及人。上帝人和以色列人在西奈山定約，並授摩西“十誡”，摩西繼續帶領人民在荒野流浪了四十年，直到他們到達迦南的邊緣地帶。摩西在未進入上帝應許之地前就去世。據說他是《希伯來聖經》（參閱Torah）前五卷的作者。 Prophet of Judaism. According to the Book of Exodus, he was born in Egypt to Hebrew parents, who set him afloat on the Nile in a reed basket to save him from an edict calling for the death of all newborn Hebrew males. Found by the pharaoh's daughter, he was reaRed in the Egyptian court. After killing a brutal Egyptian taskmaster, he fled to Midian, where Yahweh (God) revealed himself in a burning bush and called Moses to deliver the Israelites from Egypt. With the help of his brother Aaron, Moses pleaded with the pharaoh for the Israelites' release. The pharaoh let them go after God had visited a series of plagues on Egypt, but then sent his army after them. God parted the waters of the Red Sea to allow the Israelites to pass, then drowned the pursuing Egyptians. God made a covenant with the Israelites at Mount Sinai and delivered the Ten Commandments to Moses, who continued to lead his people through 40 years of wandering in the wilderness until they reached the edge of Canaan. He died before he could enter the Promised Land. Authorship of the first five books of the Bible (see Torah) is traditionally ascribed to him.
