Theme: Moses
Moses
In a faraway country, called Egypt, many, many years
ago, a boy was born, the son of a family of the Hebrew
people.
The Hebrews had been enslaved by the
Egyptian people, but they wanted their freedom and a
place to live free and happily.
There was a prophecy that there would
soon be born, among the Hebrews, the one who would be
the leader of the liberation of his people.
The Egyptians did not want this to
happen, so the Pharaoh, who was the ruler of Egypt,
ordered the killing of all Hebrew babies who were born
boys.
Knowing this, the boy's mother hid,
for some time, the birth of her son, but she knew that
she could not hide him forever. So, she had an idea to
try to save him.
In Egypt, there is a river called the
Nile and people went to bathe in that river, including
the princess, Pharaoh's daughter.
The boy's mother placed him in a
basket and left the basket floating in the Nile River,
close to where the princess was.
Her plan worked. The princess found
the basket, saw the baby, and adopted him. The baby was
named Moses, which means “saved from the waters”.
The princess allowed Moses' mother to
care for him and breastfeed him, as she wanted the baby
to be healthy and comfortable.
Moses grew up and was educated in the
Pharaoh's palace but maintained his connection with his
people of origin.
When he grew up, he truly became the
great leader who led the Hebrews away from slavery in
Egypt.
The Hebrews walked in the desert for
forty years. Many things happened during this period,
but the most important thing is that Moses also became a
religious leader and taught his people important
teachings that are considered the first revelation of
God's laws to humanity.
Moses received, through inspiration
from the superior spiritual plane, ten commandments,
which the Hebrews began to fulfill.
Before, there were no laws that made
people respect each other, so attacks, robberies, deaths
were common...
The laws brought by Moses said: “you
shall not kill”, “you shall not steal”, “you shall honor
your father and mother”, among other things...
By following the ten commandments,
the Hebrew people acquired better beliefs and manners.
Moses also did not let his people
reverence other gods, as was common at that time. He
demanded that the Hebrews venerate one God and this was
very important for the formation of their religion.
For having done all this, Moses is
well remembered to this day. It's worth knowing a little
about his history.
