Definition: Mosheh, the Israelite lawgiver
Meaning: Mosheh, commonly known as Moses, is recognized as the Israelite lawgiver and leader who led the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage and through the wilderness. He is a central figure in the Torah and is traditionally credited with the authorship of the first five books of the Bible.

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root verb מָשָׁה (mashah), meaning "to draw out."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 3475: Μωϋσῆς (Mōusēs), the Greek transliteration of Moses, used in the New Testament to refer to the same biblical figure.

Usage: The name Mosheh appears frequently in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. It is used to refer to Moses, the prophet and leader of the Israelites.

Context: Moses is one of the most significant figures in the Bible, known for his role in leading the Israelites out of Egypt and receiving the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. His life is chronicled from his miraculous rescue as an infant from the Nile River, his upbringing in Pharaoh's palace, his flight to Midian, and his divine calling at the burning bush. Moses is depicted as a prophet, lawgiver, and mediator between God and the Israelites. He is instrumental in the establishment of the covenant at Sinai and the delivery of the Law, which forms the foundation of Israelite religion and society. Despite his pivotal role, Moses is not permitted to enter the Promised Land due to an act of disobedience, and he dies on Mount Nebo, viewing the land from a distance. His legacy is profound, influencing Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions.
