In the Moses' story narrated by the Quran, Jochebed is commanded by God to place Moses in a coffin [160] and cast him on the waters of the Nile, thus abandoning him completely to God's protection. [156] [161] The Pharaoh's wife Asiya, not his daughter, found Moses floating in the waters of the Nile. She convinced the Pharaoh to keep him as their son because they were not blessed with any children. [162] [163] [164] Dodson, Aidan (2010). Poisoned Legacy: The Fall of the 19th Egyptian Dynasty.

Moses, along with Elijah, is presented as meeting with Jesus in all three Synoptic Gospels of the Transfiguration of Jesus in Matthew 17, Mark 9, and Luke 9, respectively. In Matthew 23, in what is the first attested use of a phrase referring to this rabbinical usage (the Graeco-Aramaic קתדרא דמשה), Jesus refers to the scribes and the Pharisees, in a passage critical of them, as having seated themselves "on the chair of Moses" ( Greek: Ἐπὶ τῆς Μωϋσέως καθέδρας, epì tēs Mōüséōs kathédras) [143] [144]Michelangelo's statue of Moses (1513–1515), in the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli, Rome, is one of the most familiar statues in the world. The horns the sculptor included on Moses' head are the result of a mistranslation of the Hebrew Bible into the Latin Vulgate Bible with which Michelangelo was familiar. The Hebrew word taken from Exodus means either a "horn" or an "irradiation". Experts at the Archaeological Institute of America show that the term was used when Moses "returned to his people after seeing as much of the Glory of the Lord as human eye could stand", and his face "reflected radiance". [199] In early Jewish art, moreover, Moses is often "shown with rays coming out of his head". [200] Depiction on U.S. government buildings Sculpture in the U.S. House of Representatives Pleydell never overstates his heroes’ bravery and although he does not trivialize the men’s dogged perseverance, he simply accepts that he and his comrades did their bit for their country.

John Adams, 2nd President of the United States, stated why he relied on the laws of Moses over Greek philosophy for establishing the United States Constitution: "As much as I love, esteem, and admire the Greeks, I believe the Hebrews have done more to enlighten and civilize the world. Moses did more than all their legislators and philosophers." [180] Swedish historian Hugo Valentin credited Moses as the "first to proclaim the rights of man".

Moses is further seen as paving the way for Bahá'u'lláh and his ultimate revelation, and as a teacher of truth, whose teachings were in line with the customs of his time.
