Moses and the Angels

Plot

Moses. Teacher, lawgiver, rescuer of his people. According to ancient sources, it was the angels - God's winged messengers - who protected Moses throughout his 120 years. The Angel Gabriel compelled the infant Moses to cry out to Pharaoh's daughter from his hiding place among the reeds. The Angel Michael appeared to Moses in the burning bush, allowing him to hear the voice of God for the first time. The Angel of the Wilderness led Moses and his people safely through the desert. And thousands of angels from the Seven Heavens accompanied Moses down the mountain to bring the Ten Commandments to the Children of Israel. Moses and the Angels is a powerful story, simply and movingly told, with paintings that evoke its mystery and grace.
