No, Moses was not a king of Israel. He is the man God chose to bring the children of Israel out of slavery in Egypt. Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised Land because of sin. The children of Israel entered the Promised land approximately B.C. 1401 and a king was not chosen until B.C. 1020, a period of 381 years.

No, Moses was not the first king in the land of Canaan. According to religious texts, Moses was a prophet and leader who guided the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, but he did not rule as a king in Canaan. The first king in Canaan was likely Saul, who ruled around the 11th century BCE.
