Moses' Hebrew mother, Jochebed, secretly hid him when the Egyptian Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed in order to reduce the population of the Israelites.

After due warning, the second plague came to Egypt. Aaron stretched forth his hand over the waters of Egypt, and frogs swarmed forth. They covered every inch of land and entered the houses and bedrooms; wherever an Egyptian turned, whatever he touched, he found there the slimy bodies of frogs, the croakings of which filled the air. Now Pharaoh became frightened, and he asked Moses and Aaron to pray to God to remove the nuisance, promising that he would liberate the Jewish people at once. But as soon as the frogs disappeared, he broke his promise and refused to let the children of Israel go.

Every firstborn son in Egypt was struck down, including Pharaoh's own son. There was loud wailing throughout the land, and Pharaoh finally released the Egyptians, but later changed his mind and sent his army after them.

God ordered Moses to stretch out his staff over the Red Sea, and the sea parted. This allowed the Israelites to escape across the sea, and away from Egypt unharmed. Meanwhile, the Pharaoh and his army followed them by charging into the sea. But Moses waved his staff, and the sea returned to its normal height, swallowing up the entire army of Pharaoh.

NUMBERS 20:11: Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank.

EXODUS 32:19: When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain.

After 40 years of wandering in the desert, Moses died within sight of the Promised Land on Mount Nebo.

God had commanded Moses to speak to the rock. Instead, Moses struck the rock with his staff. Moses also took the credit for bringing forth water from the rock instead of giving God the credit.

DEUTERONOMY 34:7: Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone.

NUMBERS 21:8-9: ⁸ The Lord said to Moses, "Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live." ⁹ So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.
