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 is Ko'hath and Mera'ri in the story of Moses in the Bible?
Kohath was one of the sons of Levi and grandfather of Moses and Merari was his brother.
Can you find a Moses timeline?
The life of Moses can be divided into 3 major periods of 40 years in length. Moses spent the first 40 years in Egypt as a prince of Egypt, next 40 years in the land of Midian (northwest Arabian Peninsula) as a shepherd, and the last 40 years as leader of the Israelites in the Sinai and Moab regions. Rabbinical Judaism calculated a lifespan of Moses corresponding to 1391-1271 BCE.
How did the Egyptians create frogs during the plagues brought by Moses prior to the Hebrew exodus?
They did not "create frogs" frogs had probably been part of their ecosystem. When the plagues happened it is believed that God had sent the frogs so the Israelite people would be delivered from Egypt.
Another Answer: According to Christians, the Bible is absolutely true and without error. The Egyptians must have been able through magic to make frogs just like Moses or the Bible is not true and without error. The Egyptians also, supposedly, made the waters turn red with blood and unfit to drink. They did all this by magic--just read the Bible and you will believe ...

What 3 plagues did Moses not warn pharaoh of ahead of time?
The Book of Exodus tells of ten plagues that God inflicted on Egypt, although Lester L. Grabbe (Ancient Israel) says there is actually no period in the second half of the second millennium BCE when Egypt was subject to a series of plagues, death of children or physical disruption of the country:
- Water into blood - verses 7:14-25
- Frogs - 7:25-8:11
- Lice - 8:16-19
- Flies - 8:20-32
- Death of cattle - 9:1-7
- Boils - 9:8-11
- Hail and fire - 9:13-35
- Locusts - 10:1-20
- Darkness - 10:21-29
- Death of first born
Of these, Exodus says that Moses did not forewarn the pharaoh of the plagues of lice, boils and darkness.
The Book of Deuteronomy also talks of the "plagues of Egypt," but appears to rely on a very different tradition. In this book, verses 7:15 and 28:60 seem to indicate that the plagues were remembered as having afflicted the Israelites, not the Egyptians. Presumably in this account, Moses had no need to warn the pharaoh.

Was the serpent that Moses fashioned copper or bronze?
The simple translation of the verse (in Numbers ch.21) is copper. Anything else would be commentary or interpretation.
What is the significance of the well of moses?
Moses got water for the sheep of Jethro, as his daughters were looking after them. He then married one of Jethro daughters.
Did Abraham form a covenant with God before or after Moses received the Ten commandments?
Abraham lived several centuries before Moses.
There are three covenants. Two which God made with Abraham (17th century BCE), and one with Abraham's Israelite descendants in the time of Moses after the Exodus (1312 BCE).
The full text of the third covenant is actually the Torah itself, because it lists all our commands and beliefs. That is why the Torah is called The Book of the Covenant.
How long was the parade of people Moses led out of Egypt?
The bible says that Moses led 600,000 fighting men out of Egypt, which would mean at least two and a half million people, including women, children, proests, sick and elderly and even exectant women. The Bible also talks of the Israelites taking their livestock, wagons and other accroutrements with them.
Artistic representations always show a small group of people being quickly led across the seabed of the Red Sea, chased by the Egyptian army about to be overcome and destroyed by the waters. However, the number of people represented in the Bible would have taken days or weeks to cross, especially when we consider the sick and elderly as well as women in the late stages of pregnancy, and would have extended for several kilometres in all directions. The Egyptians should have had no difficulty in cutting down the multitude.
On the other hand, the clear consensus of more than ninety per cent of scholars is that there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. There therefore was no parade of people that Moses led across the Red Sea.

Where was Jethro the father of Moses' wife from?
Why did the Israelites have to bypass the land of edom?
The Edomites descended from Abraham through Jacob's twin brother, Esau. In a sense, therefore, they were Israel's brothers. Therefore, Edomite land rights were to be held inviolable by the Israelites advancing through the wilderness, since God had granted Edom's descendants Mount Seir as a holding. (Deut. 2:1-8)

2 Kings ch.17 and 18 narrate the locations: the Ten Tribes were taken to places in Assyria and Media. However, many or all of them gradually spread elsewhere from there; and many or all of them gradually lost contact with their traditions. So, except for the miscellaneous claims regarding some Asian, Central Asian or African population group, the Ten Tribes cannot be decisively located today.
