“Never again has there arisen in Israel a prophet like Moshe, whom G-d had known face-to-face, as evidenced by all the signs and wonders that G-d sent him to perform in the land of Egypt.” Devarim/Deuteronomy 34:10-11

Having been raised in the court of the Pharoah, G-d sent Moshe as His prophet to demand the release of the enslaved Israelites from Egyptian bondage. After ten devastating plagues were brought against Egypt, as foretold by Moshe, the nation was released. Moshe led the people for 40 years through the wilderness to the border of the Promised Land. Though not permitted by G-d to enter Israel, Moshe lived 120 years as the nation’s greatest prophet, and the man who came closest to the Lord in holiness.
