(Trivia note: The Voice of God in the 'Ten Commandments' movie was really that of Cecil B. DeMille, which shouldn't have surprised anyone.)

Moses was born in Egypt on the 7th of Adar of the year 2368 from creation (1393 BCE), at a time when the Israelites was slaves to the rulers of the land and subject to many harsh decrees. He was the third born of Jocheved and Amram's three children -- his brother Aaron was his senior by three years, and his sister Miriam by six.

Happy Birthday, Moses.
Moses and God are playing golf and Moses is about to tee off over a large lake.
God: “You should play around the lake, you’ll never make it”
Moses: “I can make it, I have seen Arnold Palmer do it a thousand times.”
God: “Okay, I warned you.”
Moses hits the ball and sure enough, *plunk*, right in the middle of the lake.
Moses: “C’mon, help me part the lake so I can get my golf ball”.
God: “Okay, just this once.”
God parts the water and Moses retrieves his ball and tees it up again.
God: “You better play around.”
Moses: “Nope, I’ve seen Arnold Palmer do and I know I can do it too.”
God: “Okay but no parting the water this time.”
Moses hits the ball and sure enough, *plunk*, right in the middle of the lake.
Moses: “C’mon, help me part the lake one more time so I can get my golf ball”.
God: “Nope”
Moses: Well at least give me the power to walk out there and play it.”
Moses goes walking out on the water to find his ball and the greens keeper comes up behind God.
Grounds Keeper: Who does he think he is Jesus Christ?
God: Nope, he thinks he’s Arnold Palmer.
A good one.

Moses is a Pisces. How fitting!

Hmmm. Neanderthals buried their dead, and threw flowers in after them, some 50-60,000 years ago, thus it would seem they had souls. Though, "If I knew God I'd be Him".

Happy birthday Moses. And the Lord sent us another Moses to help us be free. John Moses Browning.
LOL!
I disagree about the year. It was 1527 BC. not 1393 BCE. Moses was 80 years old when the Exodus began in 1446 BCE.
