Quotes About Moses

So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.

When Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.

At this remark, Moses fled to the land of Midian, where he lived as a foreigner and had two sons.

After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.

When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight. As he approached to look more closely, the voice of the Lord came to him:

ëI am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.í Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.

This Moses, whom they had rejected with the words, ëWho made you ruler and judge?í is the one whom God sent to be their ruler and redeemer through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

This is the same Moses who told the Israelites, ëGod will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.í

They said to Aaron, ëMake us gods who will go before us! As for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.í

Our fathers had the tabernacle of the Testimony with them in the wilderness. It was constructed exactly as God had directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen.

Then some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”

But some believers from the party of the Pharisees stood up and declared, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses.”

For Moses has been proclaimed in every city from ancient times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”

But they are under the impression that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or observe our customs.

But I have had Godís help to this day, and I stand here to testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen:

Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.

For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”

I ask instead, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says: “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation without understanding.”

They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

Now if the ministry of death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at the face of Moses because of its fleeting glory,

We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of what was fading away.

And even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.

For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.

For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
