Answer 1

Abraham shaped the Hebrew history by being told by God himself, or believed that He did tell him, to leave his own home, and settle into Canaan where his descendants-the Hebrews-- finally settled also, but later, some of the Hebrews moved to Egypt, (they moved to other parts of the world later). However, with the growth of the Hebrews, the pharaoh of Egypt, was worried the Hebrews soon might take over, and to stop that from happening, he made the Hebrews slaves. A man named Moses appeared among the Hebrews in Egypt. God told Moses to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt. Moses then went to the pharaoh and demanded that the Hebrews should be free. The pharaoh refused. Soon afterward a series of plagues (disasters) struck Egypt and the pharaoh then agreed to let the Hebrews free.

Did Moses make the covenant with Yahweh which gave the Jews the Promised Land?

No. God gave the land of Canaan (Promised Land) to Abraham and his descendants. Abraham's descendants were the Hebrew people. Moses led the Hebrew people to the Promised Land, a trip that took 40 years to complete because the Hebrew people sinned and so were led in desert wanderings for 40 years. Moses did not get to go into the promised land because of sin. Joshua, Moses' second in command led the people into the land.

How did Abraham and Moses shape the history of the Hebrew and Israelites?

A:There has to be a religious answer and a historical answer to a question like this. The religious answer, based on biblical tradition, is that Abraham, as the first of the Patriarchs and ancestor of the Hebrew people, received a covenant from God, promising that his descendants would inherit the Promised land. The biblical tradition is that Moses led the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt and received the Ten Commandments from God. Many believes say that Moses actually wrote the first five books of the Old Testament. Finally, Abraham and Moses are credited with being the founders of Judaism.Historians say that the biblical account of Abraham conflicts too much with what we know about history, and that the available evidence is that he was purely mythical, not a historical person. Almost all scholars say that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in The Bible, therefore the story of Moses is another unhistoric legend. The consensus is that the first five books of the Old Testament were actually written during the first millennium BCE, centuries after the time attributed to Moses. The historical answer is therefore that neither Abraham nor Moses has shaped the history of the Hebrews and Israelites, although the existence of the legends that surround them has had a very real influence.
