Children of Moses

Post by Poetic_Soul »

Does anybody know if Moses raised his children? I know that he fathered 2 boys but was Moses there to raise them?

In Scripture this is what I found about Moses

Exo 4:20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.

Exodus 18:2-27 tells us of Moses Relationship with Zipporah and her Father.

We can assume that Moses was apart of their lives however it does not tell us how much.

I watched the Ten Commandments that came on abc last week and they give the notion that he never had a relationship with his children.

Youi must realize that any tv show feels no obligation to accuracy. All they are interested in is making a show that people will watch and therefore make money. I'll agree they are interesting and usually have the basic story line, but many things are left out and others added in the interest of entertainment.

Reed Sea

I have not seen the movie yet ,but I have seen some new documentaries on the Exodus.

Who or what is the name of the Pharaoh in the movie?

If it uses Ramses then that is wrong.

Did Moses part the Red Sea in the movie?

I now understand that this is wrong also as it should be the "Reed Sea"
which no longer exists.
