Question

)Why did the Israelites consider Moses to be a prophet?

He made Jerusalem the capital city.
He was thought to speak for God.
He was considered the wisest of men.
He killed Goliath.

Answer 1

1) No, the first one is not right.

2) Yes, because when he spoke to God, they thought it was very amazing.

3) He was not the wisest of men.

4) No, thats not right either.

Answer: He was thought to speak for God.

Answer 2

1). Moses never entered the promised land at all.
Generations later David made Jerusalem the capital city.

2). It was clear and obvious, from the moment he first spoke
to Pharaoh until the day he died, that Moses spoke for G-d.

3). Moses was the most humble man and the most obedient
servant. He was certainly very wise, but that was never
his main claim to fame.

4). Moses and Goliath never met. Several generations after
Moses lived, David faced Goliath and won the match.

-- In general a "prophet" is one who speaks for G-d.

-- Jewish history never held anyone famous for killing somebody.
