Mosheh (Moses) is Israel's great lawgiver, prophet, and liberator. The name may derive from the Hebrew 'to draw out' (Exodus 2:10) or the Egyptian mose (born/child). Moses appears in over 770 verses.
Moses is the mediator of the old covenant, the one through whom God gave the Torah, and the paradigmatic prophet against whom all others are measured (Deuteronomy 34:10). His role as intercessor prefigures Christ, and the 'prophet like Moses' promise (Deuteronomy 18:15) finds fulfillment in Jesus.
