THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

Moses is the founder of the Jewish people, and the leader who freed them from slavery in Egypt. Moses protected the Jews from the wrath of God, and negotiated with God on their behalf.

The Bible clearly sees Moses as the founder of the faith, Abraham is the founder of the nation. Moses is the author of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (also called The Pentateuch or the Torah ), and the establisher of Jewish law in the Mosaic code . When Moses was 80, God spoke to him on Mount Sinai through a burning bush and ordered him to go back to Egypt and lead the Hebrew people out of slavery.

Three months after leaving Egypt, Moses went up the mountain alone and stayed there for 40 days, during which time God gave him the Ten Commandments carved on stone tablets, and taught Moses various other laws.

After seeing that the Israelites had gone astray during his absence and his brother Aaron had made the Golden Calf, Moses broke the tablets (Exodus 32:19).

God subsequently commanded Moses to carve two other tablets like the first (Exodus 34:1)
