It's all symbolism, imho. A story told to convey a certain message. Maybe there was slavery of the Jews in Egypt and a man named Moses who helped lead them to freedom, but if that's the case, the story, as it is told, is exaggerated to make a point.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
