10 Moses Quotes That Have Stood The Test Of Time

Famous As: Hebrew Religious Leader, Prophet
Born In: Land of Goshen, Ancient Egypt

Known as a prophet in Abrahamic religions, Moses was born in Egypt in around 1592 BCE. Moses was born during the time of turmoil for the Israelites, when they were enslaved in Egypt. Pharaoh’s daughter adopted him claiming that she found him in the Nile River. Moses embarked on a journey to Midian, where he had a life altering encounter with the Angel of the Lord. Moses claimed that the God himself had sent him to Egypt to save Israelites from the cruelty they were subjected to by the Egyptians. Moses also claimed to have received the Ten Commandments from the God himself and thus, he has been hailed as a Holy figure among the people following the Abrahamic faiths. Although his existence is often questioned, the books written by him had become a central reference for many. We have compiled a list of best Moses quotes on life, death, god, blessing, holiness, and spirit.
