Aus dem Klappentext

young and old will cherish this remarkable story of an unforgettable man:

Moses was a teacher, a lawgiver, a rescuer of his people. He was the only person to whom God spoke face to face. Through everything, he remained deeply humble. The story of Moses is both miraculous and inspiring, and one for all ages and faiths. Readers will learn about Moses's life from his birth to his death, 120 years later. And the role of the angels, who intervened at the most desperate and surprising times, are beautifully depicted in the breathtaking paintings by Mark Podwal.

God told Moses to threaten Pharaoh, to say he would turn the waters of the Nile into blood unless the Hebrew slaves were freed. When Pharaoh refused, Aaron raised his rod and struck the waters. Moses would not do this himself, since it was the river that had saved him as an infant.

Suddenly, all the water in Egypt turned thick and red, not only in the river but also in every pitcher and cup. God met each refusal to free the Children of Israel with another plague. Only the Hebrews and one Egyptian woman, Pharaoh's daughter, were spared.

After the plague of blood, frogs swarmed over the land.

Dust turned to lice.

Lions, wolves and bears attacked every home.

Pestilence killed all the cattle, horses, camels and sheep.

Boils broke out on everyone's skin.

Fiery hail struck down all the trees.

Locusts with the jaws of lions ate every leaf and blade of grass till nothing green was left in the land.

A darkness that rose from hell made it impossible to see or even to move.

Then, near midnight, God brought the tenth plague. The Angel of Death struck down all the firstborn of Egypt.
