Diving into the backstory of the central figure, Moses, we come to learn that is not only the son of Pharaoh’s daughter by adoption, but that this happenstance is from being sent away after the command to kill all the baby boys, an order given by Pharaoh himself. This first irony in the etiology of Moses sets a tone for his being special and different.
Moses’ intense faith and the close relationship he has as he is chosen by God, I think, is a really powerful message. Moses was by no means a perfect nor sin-free man, yet God chooses him. It can be a bit nebulous as to why exactly, but in my opinion, Moses and God’s relationship shows God’s love for his ultimately good (but often succumbing to sin) creation, humans. Moses too is not “eloquent” in his speech. Eventually his brother helps him in his role as a messenger. That too speaks volumes about how even the “best” of us humans still requires help from those around us.
In Exodus, Moses even goes so far as to question/challenge his God-given role. Moses’ struggles, his journey of hardship and ultimately the miracles of God in his side, serve as illustrious and beautiful examples of the human – God connection, or at least of what it could be, as a goal for which to strive.
