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.

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.

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.
Why was moses not allow into the promise land?
Moses was allowed in the promised land but he died and went up because he portrayed God as an angry God.Even though he did God's work, Moses was ignorant and was angered because
the Israelites whom he rescued from Egypt wher still in disbelief that there was a god.
When they were in need of water they said that God could not help them.God told Moses to take his staph and knock it against a wall and water will flow out but Moses was so angry at the Israelites that he slammed his staph against the wall causing water to rush out.So they feared god in a frightening way not a respectful one.Moses did not go into heaven in a chariot of flames.
This is what I understand the Bible to say. Moses did notenter the promised land. He died in the hills of Moab (Deut 32:50 and 34:5).
Moses also predicted this himself. (Deut 4:22)
He ever entered the land because he disobeyed God. Moses was instructed to speak to a rock and water and water would flow out but Moses struck the rock with his staff. (Num20:7-12)

How could the mountain that Moses died on be unknown?
Everyone around knew that Moses died, after Joshua was installed in his place in
an orderly transfer of authority and responsibility. But nobody ever knew the spot
where he was buried. As great and important a leader as Moses was, he has never been worshiped, and his grave never became a shrine.
Moses died in private after being privately escorted (by God) to his burial ground and was buried by God alone. Therefore nobody else knew his location.
