Moses the Prophet
Called to free the Lord’s people
Moses grew up
as a son of Pharaoh’s daughter.
Moses saw that the Egyptians were
mean to the Israelites.
He was sad that the Egyptians made
the Israelites their slaves.
One day Moses saw an Egyptian
hitting an Israelite.
To defend the Israelite, Moses
killed the Egyptian.
When Pharaoh found out, he wanted
to kill Moses, but Moses ran away from Egypt.
Moses came to a place called
Midian, where he met a woman named Zipporah.
They got married and had children.
While living in Midian, Moses saw
a bush that was on fire, but
the fire did not burn up the bush.
The Lord appeared in the fire and
spoke to Moses.
The Lord said He knew the Israelites were
suffering in Egypt.
He commanded Moses to return to
Egypt and to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go free.
The Lord said He would help Moses
free the Israelites and lead them to a promised land.
