Wearing the sheep at Mount Horeb, Moses heard the voice of God from the burning thorn bush, which called him to the liberation of the Jewish people. Returning to Egypt, Moses and his brother Aaron asked Pharaoh to lead the people of Israel to the Promised Land.

Finally, when Pharaoh allowed the Jews to leave Egypt, Exodus began. God showed them the way through the Sinai desert to the Promised Land. During wandering in the wilderness,
Having reached Mount Sinai, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments – the rules of life of the Jews, which formed the basis of the Torah, the laws of Moses.
Wandering through the desert for the next 40 years, Moses and his people accompanied the adversities associated with sin before God and miserliness. Moses continued to pray for the sons of Israel. However, the Promised Land did not enter the Earth – he died just before the entrance to it, on Mount Nebo in 1272 BC. e. Moses lived for 120 years, was buried in the valley of the Sinai Peninsula.
Moses left behind a huge literary heritage – the first five books of the Bible, the so-called “Pentateuch”.
