After fleeing Egypt, Moses wandered through the desert to Midian, where he was welcomed by Jethro, the high priest of Midian. Moses spent forty years in Midian, tending Jethro’s sheep, marrying, having children, and writing the first five books of the Bible. Despite this new life, God had other plans. Appearing in a burning bush, God called Moses to liberate the Hebrews and establish the nation of Israel. Though initially reluctant, Moses accepted and returned to Egypt, becoming God’s spokesman and revealing His power to the ancient world’s mightiest superpower.
