According to Manetho, this figure was originally a priest named Osarsiph who became the leader of a band of lepers. This figure wrongly admonishes the “Green One” in Surah al-Kahf for killing a child. This figure, who is credited by Eleazar ben Azariah with writing the Book of Job, is also the most frequently named person in the Qur’an. After killing a man, this figure goes into exile where he names his son Gershom for being a “stranger in a strange land.” After dying on Mount Nebo, this figure passes leadership of the Israelites to Joshua. This figure describes himself as “heavy of mouth and slow of tongue,” perhaps reflecting the Priestly source’s bias toward his brother Aaron. For 10 points, name this prophet who led the Israelites out of Egypt in the Exodus. ■END■
