Directions: Answer the following questions.

1. Why God called Moses to save His people?

Even though Moses is the hero of the Old Testament, we know little about his early life. We glimpse him floating down the
Nile River. Then he is adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter. And then he is an adolescent leaving Pharaoh’s palace. We know
nothing about what he was taught or how he lived during his childhood.

It is only after he leaves the Palace that we begin to see his character. We begin to see what led God to choose him to lead
the Israelites to freedom. One quality, in particular, stands out. Moses is passionate about justice. He is passionate about
justice in all its forms:

1. Defending the oppressed: Moses’s first act as an adult is defending an Israelite slave. He leaves the palace and sees an
Egyptian task master beating a helpless slave. Moses intervenes and stops the beating.

2. Doing what’s right, even if it means criticizing your own people: The next time we see Moses is when he encounters two
Hebrew slaves fighting with one another. He does not turn away and ignore it because they are his people.

3. Remaining faithful wherever you are: After Moses is forced to flee Egypt, he arrives in the land of Midian. His first stop is
a well. There he encounters a gang of shepherds harassing a group of seven sisters seeking to water their flock. Moses
intervenes, defending the sisters. He is a stranger in a strange land, yet he does not shy away from seeking justice.

2. How Moses responded when he was called by God in the burning bush?
3. What was the respond of the Pharaoh when Moses ask him to free the Israelites?
4. What is the role of Aaron the brother of Moses in the exodus of the Israelites?
5. How the Israelites reacted after being saved by God through Moses?
6. What are the commandments of God?
The Ten Commandments appear in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. The Ten Commandments are the
fundamental laws of the Jews which tell the Jewish people how they should live. Many countries base their laws on these
rules too.
 You shall have no other Gods but me.
 You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it.
 You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.
 You shall remember and keep the Sabbath day holy.
 Respect your father and mother.
 You must not commit murder.
 You must not commit adultery.
 You must not steal.
 You must not give false evidence against your neighbour.
 You must not be envious of your neighbour's goods. You shall not be envious of his house nor his wife, nor anything
that belongs to your neighbour.

7. Why God give His commandments?

First, God gave the Ten Commandments for the personal well-being of His people. In Exodus 20:2, God said, “I am the LORD
your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.” God had already redeemed His people and
brought them out of slavery. And now that they were out there on their own, He was giving them the rules that would govern
their lives. Remember this: never is there any hint that keeping the law would result in their redemption. Nowhere in the
Bible is the idea that we can earn God’s approval by keeping the law. The Israelites had already been redeemed at this point.
The law was given for their personal well-being.
