Answer 2

Story Of Abraham Summary

Answer 3

Summary: God chose Abraham when he was 90 and said that he would father a nation. His wife, also 90, gave her slave to him to have a child, the slave had a son and then his wife became pregenent and had another son. When his second son, Issac, was a young man, God asked him to sacrifice his only son but at the las minute provided a ram to take his place.

Mose, was adopted by the Pharoh's household, grew up and killed an Egyptian, he ran away and god sent him back. Moses called a series of plagues on the Egyptians and ended with the all the first born in Egypt dying. Mose lead the hebrews out of egypt, the pharoh prusued and was destroyed.

That's a quick summary. As you read, realize that there is no evidence for either story being real. People will state offhandedly that the Egyptians rewrote about 400 years of history to hide the hebrews leaving, but this is an argument from ingnorance.

Answer 4

The Bible doesn't give
"summaries"...it gives the whole story. You can however,
get "interpretations" of every
word and every sentence and
every chapter IN the Bible,
by some supposed scholar
or another. But you will still
only come up with someone
else's interpretation.
Why not read it for yourself
and ask the Lord to interpret
it FOR YOU. He will do this.

Answer 8

ABRAHAM:
Abraham's Personal Covenant (contract) with God (Genesis 17). God said that Abraham would be the father of "many nations" and that Abraham and his descendants should circumsize the male babies on the eighth day after birth to seal the contract.

MOSES:
EXODUS (meaning "exit" or "going away from"):
The beginning of 70 of Jacob's family in Egypt grew to a large nation, filling the land of Goshen. So the Egyptians made slaves of the Israelites (also called Hebrews). One of the sons of Jacob was named Levi . Out of the family of Levi, at a time when the Pharoah had tried to kill all Israeli babies, the baby Moses was born. He was raised by Pharaoh's daughter. When Moses was grown, he killed an Egyptian that was beating a Hebrew. Moses then had to leave Egypt to avoid being killed. Moses went to the land of Midian, where he met Reuel (also called Jethro) and married his daughter Zipporah.

BURNING BUSH (Exodus 3:2): An Angel of the Lord appeared to Moses as "flames of fire from within a bush." Then God told him to be the person to free the Hebrews from Egypt. Moses begged to not be the person chosen as this spokesman. The Lord insisted and told him to throw down his staff (i.e, shepherd's rod) onto the ground -- at which point it was turned into a snake. The Lord told Moses to put his hand into his cloak (i.e, robe); it became "leprous, like snow" and then became all right when put into the cloak and withdrawn again. The Lord then told him that water would also be turned into blood. These things would allow the people in Egypt to know that Moses was indeed sent by God to them. Moses begged God further, so God allowed Moses' brother Aaron to be the spokesman to the people with Moses being the messenger from God.

Moses (80 years old) and Aaron (83 years old) went to Pharoah and requested that the Hebrews be allowed to worship God for three days in the wilderness. Pharoah did not allow this, so Moses and Aaron had to demonstrate the power of God with miracles and finally plagues, such as frogs, flies, hail, and locusts. Finally, (Exodus 11) God told Moses that He would send the "Destroyer" to kill the firstborn (i.e., oldest) sons of all in Egypt, except for those oldest sons of the people of Israel. The Hebrews were instructed by Moses to kill a lamb and coat the sides and tops of their doorframes with the blood of the lamb, so that the "Destroyer" would pass over their home (Genesis 12:23) -- hence the celebration thereafter of the Passover (celebrated forevermore, always around late March or first of April by our calendar). Pharoah let the Hebrews go, after their 430 years in Egypt. Moses took the bones of Joseph with him out of Egypt. Pharoah went after them when he realized that they were not coming back after their leaving to worship their God. The sea opened up for the Hebrews and they walked on dry ground, whereas it closed onto the following Egyptians, killing the army of Pharoah. The time of the Exodus from Egypt was around 1250 B.C.
