Strong's Lexicon Móusés: Moses Original Word: Μωϋσῆς Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: Móusés Pronunciation: mo-oo-sace' Phonetic Spelling: (moce-yoos') Definition: Moses; met: the books of Moses, the Pentateuch. Meaning: Moses; a central figure in the Old Testament, known as the lawgiver and leader of the Israelites. Word Origin: The Greek form of the Hebrew name מֹשֶׁה (Mosheh). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H4872 • מֹשֶׁה (Mosheh) Moses' legacy is enduring, with his life and teachings continuing to influence religious thought and practice. His role as a mediator of God's law and his leadership in the Exodus are pivotal to understanding the narrative of the Bible and the development of Judeo-Christian theology. Usage: The name Μωϋσῆς appears frequently in the New Testament, referring to the historical figure Moses, who is recognized for leading the Israelites out of Egypt and receiving the Law from God on Mount Sinai. Context: Moses is one of the most significant figures in the Bible, revered as a prophet, leader, and lawgiver. His life and work are foundational to both Jewish and Christian traditions. According to the biblical narrative, Moses was born to Hebrew parents during a time when the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. Rescued from the Nile by Pharaoh's daughter, he was raised in the Egyptian court but later fled to Midian after killing an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew slave. In Midian, Moses encountered God in the form of a burning bush, where he was commissioned to lead the Israelites out of bondage. Returning to Egypt, Moses confronted Pharaoh, and through a series of plagues, he secured the release of the Israelites. The Exodus, the journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, is a central event in the biblical narrative, with Moses as the divinely appointed leader. On Mount Sinai, Moses received the Ten Commandments and the Law, which became the foundation of Israelite society and religious practice. His leadership continued through the wilderness wanderings, where he guided the people, interceded on their behalf, and established the covenantal relationship between God and Israel. In the New Testament, Moses is frequently referenced as a precursor to Christ, with Jesus being seen as a prophet like Moses but greater. For example, in John 1:17, it is stated, "For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." Moses is also mentioned in the context of faith in Hebrews 11:24-27 and as a witness to the transfiguration of Jesus in Matthew 17:3.

From the remarks of Fritzsche, Gesenius, etc., it is evident also that the word is a trisyllable, and, hence, should not be written Μωϋσῆς as it is by L Tr WH, for ὠυ is a diphthong, as is plain from ἑωυτοῦ, τωὐτό, Ionic for ἑαυτοῦ, ταὐτό; (cf.
