Moses Maimonides was a famous Jewish philosopher. He is revered and people speak of between Moses (Moshe) and Moses (Moshe). Some years passed between both these Moses. Both are seen as messianic.The first gave us the Mosaic law, given to him at Mt Sinai. The second gave the 13 principles of faith among other philosophies.
The aha moment when Freud makes a point of saying that history has condensed two Moses into one. Add the Hasidic concepts of time, using condensation and timelessness, and it becomes easier to see why Freud could tease out two Moses in his book, Moses and Monotheism.
