Early Life Moses is born during the Jewish enslavement in Egypt, during a terrible period when Pharaoh decrees that all male Hebrew infants are to be drowned at birth. His mother, Yocheved, desperate to prolong his life, floats him in a basket in the Nile. Hearing the crying child as she walks by, Pharaoh's daughter pities the crying infant and adopts him (Exodus 2:1-10). It surely is no coincidence that the Jews' future liberator is raised as an Egyptian prince. Had Moses grown up in slavery with his fellow Hebrews, he probably would not have developed the pride, vision, and courage to lead a revolt.

Commandments The Ten Commandments of the Tablets of the Law are the laws that God gave to the people of Israel through Moses after leading them out of Egypt. In essence, they are a summary of the hundreds of laws found in the Torah. They offer basic rules of behavior for spiritual and moral living. Jews believe that God delivered the Torah to Moses along with 613 commandments. Some of them, such as commandments concerning animal sacrifice, no longer apply today. The most famous of these are the Ten Commandments, which form an important part of Judaism and Christianity. Some examples of the Ten Commandments are 2.) You shall have no other gods before me, you shall not make for yourself a graven imageand bow down to worship them. 5.) Honor your father and mother. 6.) You shall not murder 8.)
