Moses
Abraham was alive several generations BEFORE the Hebrews moved to Eypt, because they moved under the leadership of Abraham's grandson, Jacob.
The Hebrews made a golden calf by melting down their gold jewelry and ornaments, which they had collected from the Egyptians during their exodus from Egypt. Under the leadership of Aaron, Moses' brother, they fashioned the molten gold into the shape of a calf, which they then worshipped as an idol. This act was a violation of their covenant with God, as they sought a tangible representation of divinity in Moses' absence on Mount Sinai. The incident is a significant moment in biblical narratives, illustrating the challenges of faith and obedience.
The author of the book is unknown but it was written for the Hebrews, but it has applications for us today.Another perspective:As its name implies, Hebrews was written specifically for the benefit of Jewish converts to Christianity. It encourages these Jewish Christians to stand fast in their new faith, and it fully explains the relationship between the Old covenant of the Law (under which they and their ancestors had lived and worshiped for so long) and the New covenant in Christ. The detailed explanation of the relationship between the covenants continues to be of invaluable benefit today, regardless of the readers' background.
As for the old covenant we fell under the Mosiac Law and now for the new covenant we fall under the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Answer To get a fuller understanding of this subject, read the book of Hebrews in the Bible,it might take you an hour.... tops. It was wrote primarily to explain that very thing, and how the new covenant that replaces the old is a better permanant one that replaces a temporary one that was a foreshadow of the new one that was to come.

Moses parted the waters of the Red Sea so the Jews could cross.
There are many verses in the Bible saying that Jesus fulfils the new covenant, and here is one: And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance (Hebrews 9.15)
No, they are not.
The Ark of the Covenant was constructed at the command of God, as relayed to Moses in the biblical book of Exodus. It was designed to serve as a sacred container for the tablets of the Law given to Moses on Mount Sinai. The Israelites, under Moses' leadership, were instructed to build the Ark as a central symbol of their covenant with God during their journey through the wilderness.
They moved because the wasn't enough water for them to survive. They moved so they could be near the Nile river. The Nile river supplied them with enough water for the Israelites, also in the book of exodus.
Joshua
A:The Hebrew people needed an explanation of where they came from and why they were in the land they occupied. They had early legends of how Yahweh, their God, came to them from the land of the Midianites, and these fitted in well with the concept of an Exodus of the Israelite people from Egypt. They began to believe their ancestors escaped in a grand Exodus from Egypt, to found a new nation under the guidance of their God. The Hebrews began to see the Exodus as crucial not only in founding their nation but also in the founding of their religion.A:It marked the transition of the Children of Israel from a clan to a nation.
The answer is true. The writer of Hebrews points out that Jesus Christ is superior in every way to anything else. And why should He not be superior, He is the Son of the living God.Additional thoughts:Hebrews 9:10,23-26 compares the animal sacrifices under the Mosaic Law to the far superior sacrifice of the promised Messiah, Jesus(Hebrews 7:22-25). The "Law" was a 'shadow of the good things to come' as it prefigured the ultimate sacrifice of God's son (Hebrews 10:1,2,10) which would make the 'old covenant' (the Mosaic Law with it's sacrifices) obsolete (Hebrews 8:6+13/Hebrews 7:18+19).
