Which prophet led the Israelites out of Egypt?

• A. Aaron
• B. David
• C. Moses
• D. Abraham

Answer: (C)

Moses is the prophet who led the Israelites out of Egypt. This journey, called the Exodus, began when God chose Moses to confront Pharaoh and ask for Israelite freedom. After Pharaoh's repeated refusals, God sent a series of plagues, and eventually Pharaoh allowed the people to go. Moses then led them through the wilderness, including the miraculous crossing of the Red Sea, toward the land God promised them. Moses is also remembered for receiving the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, which helped shape the Israelites’ covenant with God.

Aaron, Moses’ brother, assisted in speaking to Pharaoh and guiding the people. David was a later king, not the leader of the Exodus, and Abraham is an earlier patriarch who came before the Israelites’ time in Egypt.
