Moses
Moses (/ˈmoʊzɪz, -zɪs/;Hebrew: מֹשֶׁה, Modern Moshe Tiberian Mōšéh ISO 259-3 Moše; Syriac: ܡܘܫܐ Moushe; Arabic: موسى Mūsā; Greek: Mωϋσῆς Mōÿsēs in both the Septuagint and the New Testament) is a prophet in Abrahamic religions. According to the Hebrew Bible, he was a former Egyptian prince who later in life became a religious leader and lawgiver, to whom the authorship of the Torah is traditionally attributed. The historical consensus is that Moses is not an historical figure. Also called Moshe Rabbenu in Hebrew (מֹשֶׁה רַבֵּנוּ, lit. "Moses our Teacher"), he is the most important prophet in Judaism. He is also an important prophet in Christianity, Islam, Baha'ism as well as a number of other faiths.
According to the Book of Exodus, Moses was born in a time when his people, the Israelites, an enslaved minority, were increasing in numbers and the Egyptian Pharaoh was worried that they might ally with Egypt's enemies. Moses' Hebrew mother, Jochebed, secretly hid him when the Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed in order to reduce the population of the Israelites. Through the Pharaoh's daughter (identified as Queen Bithia in the Midrash), the child was adopted as a foundling from the Nile river and grew up with the Egyptian royal family. After killing an Egyptian slavemaster (because the slavemaster was smiting a Hebrew), Moses fled across the Red Sea to Midian, where he encountered the God of Israel speaking to him from within a "burning bush which was not consumed by the fire" on Mount Horeb (which he regarded as the Mountain of God).
Moses (given name)
Moses or Moshe is a male given name, after the biblical figure Moses.
According to the Torah, the name "Moses" comes from the Hebrew verb, meaning "to pull/draw out" [of water], and the infant Moses was given this name by Pharaoh's daughter after rescuing him from the Nile (Exodus 2:10). Some scholars have suggested that the name was derived from the Egyptian word for "son" rather than from Hebrew.

Moses (song)
"Moses" is a song by British alternative rock band Coldplay. It was written by all members of the band for their live album, Coldplay Live 2003. The song was released on 6 October 2003 as the only single from the album.
Background
The song was written about lead singer Chris Martin's then wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. Martin has said that the song is "about falling in love with the most beautiful woman in the world." The song's title later served as the namesake for the couple’s second child, Moses Bruce Anthony Martin. It was written in mid-2002 during the A Rush of Blood to the Head sessions but it got rejected.

Moses
by: Slick RickI try to block it out my mind
As you see [at] Ruler show€™s is inquirin' noses
Goin' into a story about a kid named Moses
Once a prophet was to be born, so for anything else furthered
Pharaoh orders every first-born son murdered
One got away, a girl with profit bound with her
Gently put him in a basket, went floatin' down the river
Then ends up by a Pharaoh relative ol' honey peeped in
Couldn't breed herself and was determined to keep him
"Don't say a word", she told her slave who was a real witch
"Snitch, it'll definitely be the last day you breathe bitch"
While kids slaughtered, 'cause they was [in] front of them
Soldiers tellin' the king that they murdered every one of them
"Thanks" said Pharoah, guys were a friend to him
Sister showin' her baby sayin' the river God sent him
To her brother who arose and said, "whoa sis"
Curious I suppose this, the upward knows about Moses
As time passed he proved he wasn't the type to beg or borrow
Grew to conquer lands like ain't no tomorrow
Made the Sun King jealous 'cause he couldn't do what Mo' did
"Pops I'm not to happy the way y'all jockin' this Mo' kid"
"Son, this rash behavior ruins every feast or bash"
"And why complain, now where's the temple I asked you to build, you piece of trash?"
"Two of you switch... Mo' you build it and you'll find a supreme hero"
"Built it, anything else, you need Pharaoh?"
King hears startin' to shares my crown
One said, "How can he?"
But sister not takin' any chance and threw the hooker off the balcony
But word still got to King, who then cold cursed Blessed
Stripped him of his honors and dumped him in the desert
But Mo' returned for the people, with his chest stiff out saw
King said, "You want war? Make brick without straw"
That's a son not being king, the shorty no good rose his
Unhappy I suppose this, the upward knows about Moses
The new King said, "As for your threats, brother stuff it"
"Boy, what do I do now?" prayed the Prophet
Then a vision said "chill" and prophecy filled
Scorn build, hails the fire, all their first-born killed
It was gettin' scary for the king, this made the sufferin' go by merrier
"You win, take these peasants, get the flock out of my area"
Poor villain, still in heat, didn't want Mo' to fulfill 'em
Wasn't chillin', "then I flat send the troop to go and kill him"
So Mo' parts the sea, went across and said "run" and
Did some ol' abracadabra and water fell upon 'em
The soldiers that is, since Moses was suaver
Then Mo' in the mountains havin' a convo with the father
Came back with the tens, seen pantyhose droppin', partner swappin'
Folks wasn't into what po' Mo was poppin'
So the Earth shook and killed those, bible text closes
Talked about a time when idle worshippin' foes had met Moses
