Moshe is the prophet, teacher, and political leader of Israel during its first generation as a nation. Moshe leads Bnei Yisrael out of Egypt and guides them to Mount Sinai where they receive the Torah. He presides over the nation for their 40 years of wandering through the desert until they arrive at the border of Eretz Yisrael. A member of the tribe of Levi, Moshe is the son of Amram and Yocheved, brother of Aharon and Miriam, husband to Tzipporah, and father to Gershom and Eliezer. Hidden in the Nile by his mother Yocheved, Moshe is found by Pharaoh's daughter, who names him.
