Being a Muslim, while reading Quran I came across verses revealing detailed story of Hazrat Mosses (may peace be upon him), , , I was surfing net for further details of Mosses and was amazed to watch the video. It’s 100% same in Quran with more logical details of the events

Appreciate your efforts

As an Israeli Jew who digs the wells of his forefathers and is deeply guided through life by Hashem, this channel and the work you guys do is a blessing. Sending my love for all involved.

[justinrozario]

He is actually my favourite person from the Bible.

[aishaansari]

Amazing explaination, as a muslim i was curious what the other abrahamic religions spoke of the Musa a.s. this video made my work easy. I loved the speaker, her elocution and emphasis made it a nice big story, i didn't even realise when the video got over.
Peace

[cherkas]

Fun fact Pharaoh himself was first born but he was exempt from getting killed because God needed him to let the people go

[dadi]

Loved the honest, simple narration. Thank you

[saeinjung]

Wow I never knew this!!! thanks you for making this channel 🤩🤩

Isaiah 53:5
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Jesus is our Passover

[CardCaptorDeadpool]

I was raised Catholic and no longer have any faith. Nevertheless, I'm fascinated by these ancient stories, especially the stuff from the Torah in the Old Testament.

[DeborahLong]

So smiling, looking at today and the similarities, could it be time Lord? Dry times, the desert, water, Holy Spirit, FREEDOM, where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom! We are the next Exodus! Hallelujah!

The Journey to the promised land begins

[EddieSpaghtti]

I learned more from this video than in history class tbh

Jesus is our passover .Isaiah 53:5
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

[Beanmachine]

i have a deep seated respect for nomads everywhere.

[muymuy]

Jocheved and Miriam all my respect❤ Brilliant narration too!! I am hooked..

[hokkiengospel]

This was the HEBREW story which is ALSO a Modern Jewish and Modern Catholic and Modern Orthodox and Modern Protestant and Modern Mormon and Modern Episcopalian and Modern Baptist and Modern Evangelical and Modern religious story for many related new "religions".

[PlainsPup]

The hero refusing a call to action is not just a Hollywood cliche; it’s an archetypal element of myth, identified by mythologist Joseph Campbell.

[paulhan]

Are there different, or additional versions of the stories of Exodus, or any other biblical tales in Hebrew folklores, that is not included in the bible itself? In the movie Munich, I heard Mossad agents talking with each other about the story of crossing the Red Sea, and it contained some backstories that I never read in the book of Exodus: a dialogue between God and the angels about the Egyptians that were swept away by the current. So I thought, does traditional Jewish Talmud have their own version of the tales? (As a Christian, I can't go deep into them, but just curious.)

[WarsunGames]

2:37 No. Him defending the Jew didn't put his life in danger. he just committed murder. That put his life in danger.

[davidzweiban]

You forgot to mention all the men (hundreds of thousands) had to be circumcised the night before entering the land of Israel. That must have really hurt.
