Title: Moses
Post by: psilo on November 08, 2015, 11:46:54: The Israelites had settled in the Land of Goshen in the time of Joseph and Jacob, but a new pharaoh arose who oppressed the children of Israel. At this time Moses was born to his father Amram, son of Kohath the Levite, who entered Egypt with Jacob's household; his mother was Jochebed (also Yocheved), who was kin to Kohath. Moses had one older (by seven years) sister, Miriam, and one older (by three years) brother, Aaron.

Pharaoh had commanded that all male Hebrew children born be drowned in the river Nile, but Moses' mother placed him in an ark and concealed the ark in the bulrushes by the riverbank, where the baby was discovered and adopted by Pharaoh's daughter. One day after Moses had reached adulthood he killed an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew. Moses, in order to escape Pharaoh's death penalty, fled to Midian (a desert country south of Judah).

There, on Mount Horeb, God revealed to Moses his name YHWH (probably pronounced Yahweh)

Meet The Moses

I am quite positive Moses never came to Madagascar.

Apart from that a great shot.

Jørgen, in fact the Andringitra area is very very close to LOTR sceneries, some looks like Mordor, some like Rohan. Extremely diverese place.

Jakov,
The problem with outer space is that I have nausea in the rockets and spaceships so ... not in this life. The Earth is still quite big.
