Haha, as we say in Israel: "With the help of the God...."

Here is Moses again in other event, Parting of the Red Sea, on two different SS's issued by Israel. First SS issued on November 21, 2010 to publicize "Jerusalem 2010" stamp exhibition. It is a part of the set "Bible stories" already posted in this thread:

The SS issued also imperforated and was sold only to visitors of the stamp exhibition. Hence it is relatively rare and little expensive (50-100US$ in online stores):

Second SS issued on August 23, 1994, shows parting of the Red Sea by Moses, in the eyes of a child. The SS is a part of a set shows children drawings of the Bible stories:

The Twelve Tribes of Israel are, according to Hebrew scriptures, the descendants of the biblical patriarch Jacob, also known as Israel, who collectively form the Israelite nation. The tribes were through his twelve sons through his wives, Leah and Rachel, and his concubines, Bilhah and Zilpah.

During 1955-1956, Israel issued a set of definitive stamps. The stamps show the symbols of the tribes and each tab has a Biblical phrase describes the tribe:

Reuben - "Let Reuben live…", Deuteronomy XXXIII, 6
Simeon - "… and the tribes of Israel were gathered together…", Deuteronomy XXXIII,5
Levi - "They shall teach Jacob thy judgements, and Israel thy law…", Deuteronomy XXXIII, 10
Judah - "Judah is a lion's whelp… ", Genesis IL, 9

Dan - "Dan shall judge his people…", Genesis IL, 16
Naphtali - "Naphtali is a hind let loose… ", Genesis IL, 21
Gad - "Gad, a troop shall overcome him…", Genesis IL, 19
Asher - "Out of Asher his bread shall be fat… ", Genesis IL, 20

Issachar - "And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times…", I Chronicles XII, 32
Zebulun - "… shall be for an haven of ships…", Genesis IL, 13
Joseph - "…blessed of the Lord be his land…", Deuteronomy XXXIII, 13
Benjamin - " …in the morning be shall devour the prey…", Genesis IL, 27

The complete set on cover sent from Jerusalem, 1955.
