Key Verse
And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, [None equal to him] in all the signs and wonders which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land, And in all the mighty power and all the great and terrible deeds which Moses wrought in the sight of all Israel. Deuteronomy 34:10-12 AMPC
Attributes

- Utter Obedience: Moses did everything just as the LORD had commanded him. Exodus 40:16 BSB

Chose God
- By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible. Hebrews 11:24-27 NIV
