What was Moses's obstacle?

Answer 1

1) Nearly being killed in infancy and again as a young man (Exodus ch.2).

2) Being unsure of his abilities (Exodus ch.3-4).

3) Opposition (Exodus ch.5, Numbers ch.16-17).

4) The stubbornness of Pharaoh (Exodus ch.6-8).

5) Pharaoh's army (Exodus ch.14).

6) Complaints (Exodus ch.15, Numbers ch.11).

7) War (Exodus ch.17, Numbers ch.21).

10) The attempted curses of Bil'am (Numbers ch.22-24).

Note that for some of the above, more than two examples could be given. And it should be pointed out that a lot of the overcoming of problems was thanks to God's help.

More about Moses:

Moses was an Israelite, a great-great grandson of Jacob. He was born 245 years after the death of Abraham. The time when Moses was born was when the Pharaoh had ordered his people to kill all Israelite male infants because he (Pharaoh) was afraid that the Israelites would become too strong for him (Exodus ch.1-2).

Moses' mother didn't want him to die. So she made a basket for him and put him in it to float in the Nile reeds. He was found by Pharaoh's daughter, who took pity on him (Exodus ch.2) and raised him as her own son.

Moses was forced to flee after killing a cruel Egyptian taskmaster, and went to Midian, where he wedded the daughter of Jethro.

He eventually achieved the highest level of prophecy (Deuteronomy ch.34) and was called upon by God (Exodus ch.3). He brought the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery (Exodus ch.12). He received the Torah from God (Exodus 24:12) and later recorded it in writing (Deuteronomy 31:24). He went up on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights (Deuteronomy ch.9-10) and brought down the Two Stone Tablets with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18). He brought the Israelites into the covenant with God (Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), and he oversaw the building of the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.35-40). He was the humblest of men and the greatest of prophets (Numbers ch.12).
