Moses
Moses is the most important prophet in Judaism and is also important in Christianity and Islam. Moses led the Israelites out of their slavery in Egypt, miraculously crossing a divided Red Sea. At Mount Sinai he received the Ten Commandments. He led the Israelites through 40 years of desert wandering and finally to the Promised Land. He died there, within sight of his goal, at the age of 120.

Who was the Lost Tribe in the Bible and how did they become missing?
When Shalmenzer over-ran the Kingdom of Israel (about 721 B.C), he carried the Ten Tribes comprising that that kingdom captive into Assyria. From thence they were led into the land of the north and have been called the Lost Tribes because they are lost to the knowledge of other people.
We have no knowledge of the location or condition of that part of the Ten Tribes who went into the north country.
Eventually the lost tribes will come forth and will bring with them their own scriptures, for they to had their own prophets who kept them on the straight and narrow path during their wandering into the north countries. We will have the opportunity to read those very scriptures and they to will read ours. and they shall be made into one record.

What does Moses' praise of god say about the man Moses?
Moses praising God means he was devote in his belief. I don't see that it could say anything else about him.
Did Moses feel sad after the Egyptians drowned at the Red Sea?
An even more convincing reason for discarding this hypothesis is that almost all scholars now say that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. Without an Exodus Moses, the leader we read of in the Bible, did not even exist.
I found this: "Moses syndrome (1) A delusion characterized by uncritical belief in the promises of others to lead one to the Promised Land, e.g., to beauty, youth, wealth, power, peace of mind, or happiness. (2) A delusion characterized by the belief that one has been chosen by God, destiny, or history to lead others to the Promised Land, e.g., some goal such as "putting the sciences on a firm foundation" (Descartes) or belief in such things as "the eternal law of nature that gives Germany as the stronger power the right before history to subjugate these peoples of inferior race, to dominate them and to coerce them into performing useful labors" (Hitler)."

Why is Moses important in Buddhism?
Moses is important in JUDAISM, not Buddhism. Moses plays no part in Buddhism and his moral perspective is one that generally deals with creating a better society in this world than the Buddhist perspective, which is primarily about realizing and accepting the broken-ness and unsatisfactory-ness of this world.

What did the Egyptians do when all their Israelite slaves left Egypt?
We could look to the copious Egyptian records we have for this period for an answer, but there is no hint in official records or in commercial transactions that anything untoward had happened. There is nothing to suggest an entire army had been wiped out, and it seems that the deaths of every pharaoh during this period were by meansother than drowning in the Red Sea pursuit.
It is reported that over 90 per cent of scholars do not believe that there was an Exodus of Israelites from Egypt as described in the Bible. This story was written many centuries after the supposed event and there was no Exodus. The Egyptians did nothing because there was nothing for them to do.
Did Jews try to take over Egypt before the birth of Moses?
No. Like most Jews today, their ancient ancestors (the Israelites) merely wanted to live in peace. Pharaoh used their high birth-rate as an excuse to take advantage of them as a source of free labor; somewhat like the Nazis. See also:

Why was it bad for Moses to hit the rock twice in the Bible?
Because God only told him to speak to the rock, in hitting it he disobeyed God thus causing him not to be able to enter the promised land.
AnswerGod told Moses to speak to the rock. This was evidently intended to clearly identify the totally supernatural provision of the water, without any human agency, since some could say that Moses' striking caused the water to come out. He was also evidently angry when he did so, rather than trusting calmly in almighty God. Numbers 20:7-13 (King James Version)7And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,8Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
9And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
10And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
11And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
12And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
13This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

"moses hated Hammurabi because the sorcerers beleved he was on the dark side. Hammurabi liked moses ant first but then he hated him because of the consequences JK"
Oh no.
This is anacronistic. Imagine, the Babylonian king Ha.mur.Apil (= Hamurabi) was living in the time of Abraham - and Moses some centuries later is the son of the Levi tribe, Levi is son of Jacob son of Isaac son of Abraham. Historical research assumed the king "Amraphel" of the bible story was Hamurabi - one of those 3 kings who went with the king of Elam, and in that time Elam was the kingdom where Sodom, Gomorrha and the cities near the Salt Sea were colonies from, founded to work with finding and sending asphalt the cities needed to make wells - maybe even for cooking or industrial heating. some years they did this works, then they finished to send their duty production.
In this time Lot, the nephew of Abraham, was an inhabitant in the city of Sodom, too, but not related to those folks. When the 4 kings' military-expedition came to bring their colonists back from there, because they didn't do their job, they caught - by error - the family and sheeps of Lot, and deprtated them too, without making any difference between foreigners, guests, and inhabitants, guilty or not guilty. Abraham heard this and fought the expedition of the 4 great kings in sake to free his own nephew, and he won this battle and the lands, but decided to take no fee from this acting. He finished the war and made his peace, and ok.
The name of Hamurabi is famous today in zhe sciences of law and in the science of ancient languages. as he was in his time, because he gave a very good ancient law, the "Codex Hamurabi" for his kingdom near the river of Euphrat, connecting about 40 communities together, all of them ruling by the same law they wished to have themselves.
The articles begin each with "shoomeshoo aveelum..." (= Take the case, a man ...") (in Babylonian language the name of Abel is "man") - this law was written in cuneiform ceremonial-signs, engraved in a great black stone and this was to visit in the temple of Mar.duk.u, the city power (g*d) of Babel city. Each visitor and each inhabitant could go there and look and read it by himself, if he could read this, he knew the rules and - if guilty to have broken some of the rules he should know the consequences for this acting. The inhabitants of Babel had to learn reading and writing this text of their law. The first step was to read it aloud and to learn the words by heart, able to repeat the total law, then the disciples learnt to write these textes, then the first part of school was ok - the teacher got a little thanksgiving party and got a good meal, a ring and a cloth as gift from the parents of the disciple.
- Those youngsters who had finished their examination, could learn to write more textes, so we have in cuneiform-written relicts some stories who tell about their school life en detail. This form of law was surely not perfect, but was so good, that about 2'000 years later even the Roman's XII-Table Law (late time of the republic of Rome in the century before imperator Augustus who finished this by his new laws) was made similarly. They got it from the Greek's best written Codex, the Greeks got it from the Aramaic or Assyrian nations, etc.
The connection between Hamurabi and Moses is so:
when Moses began to lead the people of Israel from Egypt's lands through the deserts, his folks came with any trouble to him, all the time he alone should decide who was right and who not, or he should ask G'D about this and that - and this went on all the days. It was too much for 1 single old man. - His father-in-law, from the Kenite-priests the wife of Moses, Zipporah, came from, who lived withe the people of Israel in that deset-time to teach them in this situations, saw this and taught Moses to learn a form of Codex to decide a lot of daily troubles by a common Codex of about 70 articles, simply to look at: is this a case, do this (p.e. "If a person steals 1 sheep, he has to give 1 back, adding 4 sheeps more"). So he should devide his people in 1'000, in 100, in 10 fathers, and each group got 1 exemplar of this "Codex for all" (Mishpatim) to decide the simple questions in daily sorrows with the others. And Moses did so. Life became more easy for all of them, to have some rules.
You find this part of law in the Holy Bible, Book of Exodus, chpt.20-chpt.41
- assume, G'D gave His approbation to this. HE gives to the men the intelligence to think about society around himself, and a feeling for righteousness in each heart. Even people who never knew of HIM have the inner enlightenment from HIM to search a way to live with the others in a peaceful way within own self-given rules for "all" of their community, and even with similar structured communities they have contact to.
The Bible Law has some differences in these 70 articles, because in our religion all the people are equally born individuals - in Hamurabi's law there is a difference, if a person offends, hurts, kills or robbs a priest, a free man or an "nobody" - another difference is, that the family in Babylonian view is 1 together: if the architect builds a house and the house broke and killed the wife of that customer, the law ordered to kill the (innocent) wife of that architect, if a child, then one of his (innocent) child's of the architect. In the Bible Law each has to bear his own punishment for only his own guilt, not the analog-family. If somebody in Babel stole something from the temple's or king's compounds the punishment was more heavy - in the Bible Law there ist no other punishment if it was the king's own compound, and if it was stolen from the sanctuary in Jerusalem or the Holy Tent, there was no punishment at all (G'D owns all the world, we cannot make HIM poor). The Bible gives 5 groups of Laws, this ist only 1 group, called "Mischpatim". Other Laws are for only the Sanctuary's priests and the service's calendary, ritus and offerings, others for marriage, family-rules, others specifically national-heraldic, others for moral use. Maybe others didn't write such laws.
When Josua had settled the people of Israel in the Holy Land, the came together near the city of Sikhem between 2 mountains, the Codex was written engraved on a white stone and set up upon one of the mountains and was made holy to our G'D, the people of Israel promised now the contract between G'D and them for themselves standing there and all their descendants since then. Since then, if somebody had a doubt, he could visit the place on the mountain of Garizim and see himself the written articles for each - inhabitants or guests, Israelites or others - and ensure what is the common Codex in this land and nation inside its boundaries.
The Bibölical rulers called "The Judges" (Shophtim) had to perform these articles of law for all. Others are called Lawyers (Dajanim) and have to be at least 3 individuals, unto 70 of a Sanhedrin, they research all the Jewish written laws and have to find a decision (Din) in special cases. This is a difference: maybe, each former Nation had this, too - but maybe they didn't write it.
The Romans made it similar with their XII-Table-Law, they made a great exemplar in bronce and set it up on the Forum Romanum place between the "rostra" where the central Speaker's corner was.
Maybe the king Nimrud-story is sometimes mixed with Hamurabi, but it was a story with Abraham, telling a reason why he left the city of Ur - and Nimrud is told to have been the governor of Ur in the time of young Abram. This "king" is only mentioned in the descendant's list of Noah in the Bible. The Jewish Talmud tradition tells a story of a conflict between the belief of young Abram and the wooden-g*d-making industries in the kingdom of Nimrud, his father's job, too - and that Abram laughed about such a nonsense, to pray or bid something from "a piece of wood".
Some centuries later, this story is told also in the Holy Qur'an for the Muslim, about Abraham and a king Nimrud.
No telling such stories of Moses exists!
The Bible doesn't tell any "story" or criticism about Nimrud, and even doesn't call him a king, only that he was a great hunter and came out of an origin in a city-state near the Sumerian city-kingdoms to become an important hunter "in the eyes of G'D".
