Narrative analysis of the Book of Exodus reveals that its author depicted gradual personal maturation of the figure of Moses: from his feminised childhood and his expatriated youth, through his patriotic “awakening” at the threshold of his adult life, through his emigrational hopelesness, to his discovering the foundation of his identity and patriotism in the faith in God, which was accompanied by Jahweh’s removal of his previous national, social, and religious disgrace. In such a way, Moses was prepared by God to become the leader of God’s people.
