Answer 2

None of our prophets were perfect, including Moses.  Moses killed a man and had a speech impediment, but he still had the courage to become our greatest leader.

Why such secrecy about where Moses was buried?  Probably because Moses’ singular pre-eminence would have prompted some Israelites to start believing that he himself was a god.  As Walter Kaufmann, the late professor of religion at Princeton, conjectured:  Ã¢Â€Âœ(moses) went away to die alone, lest any man should know his grave to worship there or attach any value to his mortal body.  Having seen Egypt, he knew… how prone men are to such superstitions.  Going off to die alone, he might have left his people with the image of a mystery… with the thought that he did not die but went up to heaven – with the notion that he was immortal and vidine…  Instead, he created an enduring image of humanity, he left his people with the thought that, being human and imperfect, he was not allowed to enter the promised land, but that he went up on the mountain to see it before he died.  The Jews have been so faithful to his spirit that they have… never worshipped him.  What the Jews have presented to the world has not been Moses or any individual, but their ideas about God and man.  It is a measure of Moses’ greatness that one cannot but imagine that he would have approved wholeheartedly.  It would have broken his heart if he had thought that his followers would build temples to him, make images of him, or elevate him into heaven.  That he has never been deified (like Jesus or the Pharaoh of ancient Egypt) is one of the most significant facts about the ideas of God and man in the Old Testament.

Moses, as Kaufmann emphasizes, devoted his life to impressing upon the Hebrews the need to believe in one God.  The very term by which the Torah refers to him, “the servant of God” (34:5), underscores his human nature.  Because “no one knows his burial place to this day,” Moses’ grave could never become a shrine.

Answer 3

Moses was sent down a river in a basket because Pharoah had ordered all Jewish male children to be drowned in the Nile River

Moses grew up as an Egyptian prince, but he never forgot he was a Hebrew

G-d spoke to Moses from a burning bush and told him he must go back and free the Hebrews from slavery

Moses went to Pharaoh to ask him to set the Hebrews free. Pharaoh did not want to lose his slaves. He would not let them go, because they worked on his grand buildings.

Moses led the Hebrews out of Egypt...The army chased the Hebrews to the banks of the Red Sea. They would have been trapped but a miracle happened. God told Moses to lift up his rod and as he did so the waters parted to make a dry path. They were able to make their escape.  Thus, Moses parted the Red Sea

Moses was a prophet

Moses received the 10 commandments from G-d on Mount Sinai

Moses broke one of the tablets when he saw the people worshiping a golden calf
