The Story of How Moses Grew Up
As he grew, Moses watched the Jewish slaves working hard for Pharaoh. One day, he saw a Hebrew slave being badly beaten by an Egyptian guard. Moses became so angry watching the slave being abused that he rushed forth and killed the guard. He knew Pharoah would be very angry at him, so he left Egypt to be a shepherd in a far-away place. There, he fell in love with a woman named Tzipporah and started his own family.
One day, Moses saw a burning bush. When he got closer to it, he heard a voice speaking to him. The voice told Moses to go back to Egypt and free the Jewish people, who were his own people. Moses knew that it was wrong that the Jewish people were slaves. He felt in his own heart that they were his own people, just as the voice told him.
Some people believe Moses really heard the voice of God, just like we hear our family and our friends talking to us. Other people believe that the voice Moses heard was his own small voice coming from within his heart. It told him something wasn't right, and he should try to fix it. The voice within his heart told him that all people are part of the human family, and that all people should be treated kindly and fairly.
