Biblical Moses was a Hebrew prophet who led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, received the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, and delivered the Mosaic Law. Born to Israelite parents, he was raised in the Egyptian court, later fled to Midian after killing an Egyptian, and was then called by Yahweh (God) in a burning bush to liberate his people. He is considered the greatest prophet in Judaism and a significant figure in Christianity and other Abrahamic faiths.Â
