STORY IN BRIEF: 

MOSES, a son of Jechrobe and Amram, and the last of Aeron and Miriam.

Moses was born at the time Pharaoh ordered that all Israelites young males be killed. So her mum had to preserve him till she was ordered to go leave him at the bank of a river.

Pharaoh's daughter who later found Moses in a basket on the river, cared for him in their palace through his maturity.

God would later call Moses by the burning bush and task him to lead out the Israelites out of Egypt. 

Moses did not only achieve that but also successfully brought his followers out through the red sea.

Moses was burried by God in Moab, at the summit of Nebo's mountain where angels kissed him into sleep.
