Father Figure (7 of 9)

Numbers 27:12-23
(I entered stage left, dressed as Joshua, the son of Nun, and carrying a Ram's horn - or Shofar. There are several websites that will allow you to hear the sound of the Shofar, but I found that I was able to make a reasonable sound from the horn with very little effort.

But then a man named Moses - along with his brother Aaron - came to our people. They said that God had sent them to free our people from their slavery and to stand before Pharaoh and demand: "Let MY people go!"
From the moment I saw him, I knew that this Moses followed God…
And I knew that this Moses was a man I wanted to follow.
At every opportunity, I got as close to him as possible.
Whenever he spoke to Pharaoh, I stood in the crowd.
Whenever he kneeled in prayer, I knelt as well.
I waited outside his tent in the morning,
I brought him food and water
I ran erra ...
