Who Moses was really talking to...


As the story unfolds it seems Moses is looking for himself, his identity. Is it a coincidence that once he has claimed he is a shepard (Jesus calls himself a shepard) he sees the burning bush and gets the quest to lead the slaves out of Egypt, just what a shepard would, leading a group. Is it coincidence that The Ten Commandments he received sound very much the same to what he experiences among the Hebrew slaves and critzises about the behaviour of the Egyptians? So Dathan may be right, he could have written them himself. I only consider the movie, the true historical Moses may have had different reasons.

The word is actually "shepherd."
