Moses is the great prophet and lawgiver of Judaism, also honoured in Christianity and in Islam (as Mūsā). According to the Hebrew Bible, he led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt — the Exodus, remembered at the festival of Passover — and received the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai. Tradition credits him with the Torah, the first five books of the Bible.
