• Simple Facts


  - The Moses story is told in the Biblical Books of Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Numbers but is referenced a great deal in the Bible.- Moses is the prophet most mentioned in the New Testament.- In the Quran, he is mentioned 115 times as opposed to Muhammad who is only mentioned by name 4 times.- The story of Moses is only referred to in the first five books of the Bible and the Quran. No other ancient texts corroborate the story, meaning he is believed to be a legendary figure and a cultural myth.- The Israelites painted lamb's blood on their doorways so their firstborn sons would be safe and their homes would be passed over by the Angel of Death. This is why the celebration of 'Passover' exists.- According to the Bible, Moses lived for 120 years.- He died in the land of Moab.- Moses transcribed the Torah, the foundational text of Judaism.
