Definition:
Moses (Mosheh in Hebrew) is an important figure in the Old Testament and
remains to this day an example of faith and action for the Jews. If he existed, it
would have been around the 13th century BCE and he is credited for leading the Jews
out of slavery in Egypt
(Exodus through
Deuteronomy)
and towards the "promised land" of Canaan. Indeed, tradition ascribes the authorship of the
entire Pentateuch
to Moses, even though at the end it describes his death and burial.
