We next find this “greatest of statesmen and lawgivers” a fugitive from justice (Ex. 2: 11-15). He had killed a man and buried him in the sand, and when he learned that the murder was known by the Hebrews, and Pharaoh sought to slay him, he fled to the land of Midian and tended the flocks of Jethro, a priest, until he was eighty years old. He knew then that it was wrong to kill just as well as he did after receiving the Ten Commandments; for he “looked this way and that” to find out whether any one saw him, and “he feared, and said, Surely this is known.” He showed a sense of _guilt_. He always seemed afraid of Pharaoh on account of this murder. He was next commissioned to deliver his brethren from their bondage in Egypt, and was instructed to say that “_I Am that I Am_” had sent him (Ex. 3: 14). Now, it seems to me very strange that Nuk-Pa-Nuk was the Egyptian name for God, and means, “_I Am that I Am!_” (Bonwick, _Egyptian Belief_, p. 395). This name was found upon an Egyptian temple, according to Higgins (_Anacalypsis_, vol. ii. p. 17), who says, “_I Am_ was a divine name understood by all the initiated among the Egyptians;” and Bunsen affirms, in his _Keys of St. Peter_, that the “_I Am_ of the Hebrews was the same as the _I Am_ of the Egyptians.” There is another peculiarity about Moses that seems strange to me. In his statue in Fairmount Park he is represented as having horns, and he is so portrayed in the statue by Michael Angelo. Now the sun-god Bacchus had _horns_, and so had Zeus, the Grecian supreme deity. _Bacchus_ was called “the Lawgiver,” and it is said that his laws were written upon _two tables of stone_. It is also said that he and his army enjoyed the _light of the sun_ (pillar of fire) during the night-time, and he, like Moses, had a _rod_ with which divers miracles were wrought. The Persian legend relates that Zoroaster received from Ormuzd the Book of the Law upon a _high mountain. Minos_ received on Mount Dicta, from Zeus, the supreme god, _the law_. There are many such cases. Even Mohammed, it is said, so received the Koran.
