In this article, I am listing the miracles of Moses and their scripture references in chronological order to help you win your Bible study and to get an overview of God’s working in Moses’ time.
How many miracles did Moses perform?
Moses performed about 22 miracles in his lifetime, though he was present for many more miracles God performed without Moses’ participation. Therefore, the recognition of said miracles, whether they were performed by God or Moses, might vary from one Bible teacher to another.
All miracles of Moses in chronological Order
Again, the count of the miracles is very subjective. Other Bible teachers might come up with another or even higher count depending if they attribute other miracles that God performed in Moses’ presence to Moses also.
Here is my list of all the miracles of Moses in chronological order.
I made a similar list of Elijah’s and Elisha’s miracles in comparison and in chronological order in this article, which could be relevant to you as well.
Down below, I have listed all miracles of Moses in chronological order below with scripture quotes from the Bible to give you a better overview of the context.
Highlights and redactions are added by me to have the main point of each situation stand out clearer.
