7. Moses, at the direction of his father-in-law, set up the judicial judge system.

11. Moses was 40 when he fled the courts of Egypt.

answer:

The only facts about Moses is, there are no facts. Modern Biblical Scholars now agree, at least at this point in time, that the Biblical Moses is not Historical.

Answer:

Moses is in Egyptian history, although not by the name Moses, but by his Egyptian name. He is also the writer of the first five books in the Old Testament, namely Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy (written in Chaldean, or Hebrew if you'd rather call it that).

Sort of hard for a man that never existed to write five books.

Moses is one of the most facinating people of all time. He was born of Hebrew parents, slaves of the Egyptians, but was raised by Pharaoh's daughter, and was treated like one of the Pharaoh's sons. After being weaned, he did not meet his biological family again until he was an adult. He was one of the only people that opposed Pharaoh that did not end up with his head on a platter. He gave up his privileged life in Pharaoh's palace and position as a possible heir, to serve God instead. He is one of the few humans to speak to God in person. He went up the mountain a regular man and returned shining. Being in the presence of God's power made his face shine. Moses lived to be 120 years old.

Answer:

Moses lived 120 years; 40 years in the palace, 40 years as a shepherd, and 40 years leading the Jews. He heard God speak to him from the burning bush and was then chosen by God to free the Jews from Pharaoh. He spoke to God many times, and he also saw God's back (see Exodus ch.33).

Answer:

Moses was an Israelite, a great-great grandson of Jacob. He was born 245 years after the death of Abraham. The time when Moses was born was when the Pharaoh ordered his people to kill all Jewish male infants because he (Pharaoh) was afraid that the Israelites would become too strong for him (Exodus ch.1-2). Moses' mother didn't want him to die. So she made a basket for him and put him in it to float in the Nile reeds. He was found by the Pharaoh's daughter, who took pity on him (Exodus ch.2) and raised him as her own son. He was forced to flee after killing a cruel Egyptian taskmaster, and went to Midian, where he wedded the daughter of Jethro. He eventually achieved the highest level of prophecy (Deuteronomy ch.34) and was called upon by God (Exodus ch.3). He brought the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery (Exodus ch.12). He received the Torah from God (Exodus 24:12) and later recorded it in writing (Deuteronomy 31:24). He went up on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights (Deuteronomy ch.9-10) and brought down the Two Stone Tablets with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18). He brought the Israelites into the covenant with God (Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), and he oversaw the building of the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.35-40). He was the humblest of men and the greatest of prophets (Numbers ch.12).
