  • Some say the Red Sea - it blocks the way between Egypt and the land of the Midianites
  • Some say the Reed sea - it is also etymologically relevant and, being a quite shallow lake, does not require such a great miracle as the Red Sea would
  • Scholars say the choice is not important, because there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in The Bible.

Why do people say upper Egypt and lower Egypt?

Because upper Egypt is on higher ground than lower Egypt, another reason is the way the Nile flows. Upper Egypt was the part that had the first part of the river Nile flowing through it. As the river went lower as it flowed to the sea, the other part was labelled Lower Egypt. It can be confusing because Upper Egypt is in the south of the country and Lower Egypt is the north.


What 3 parts of moses life helped him free the hebrews?

Moses lived for 120 years, 40 years in Egypt, 40 years in the land of Midian and 40 years leading the Hebrew people in the way to the promised land. ANSWER: Moses lived in Egypt for 40 years and learned all the ways of the Egyptians. The next 40 years Moses lived as a shepherd, was married and His father in law (Jethro) was a priest of Midian. It has been said by many scholars that Jethro was a priest of the one true God. If this is so he and Moses had a lot to talk about as Moses had been raised by his mother, Jecobed for some years and no doubt was told about God by her. It was during the last part of the desert years that Jehovah called Moses to deliver the children out of Egypt. The next 40 years Moses did in fact lead the children out of Egypt and was the go between of God and the Israelites. It wasn't Moses' experience that led God to call upon him. All the work of bringing the Israelites out of Egypt was God's doing. Moses was the instrument.

Does Moses try to protect the 12 spies from God?

No. They openly engaged in fear-mongering and were thus a threat to the eventual achievement of entering the Promised Land. There was no way nor reason for Moses to protect them. Joshua and Caleb, however, did not take part in this fear-mongering and therefore were the only people who departed Egypt who made it into the Promised Land.
