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.

(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)."

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.

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.

How did Moses write in the Bible?
A: Moses is traditionally said to have written the first five books of the Bible (the Books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy). There is no actual evidence in these books that Moses did write them, but it is generally recognised by conservative Christians and Jews alike that only Moses could have known much of what is contained in those books, and that later authorship would be evidence of potential unreliability.
Some say that Moses was able to write about his own death because God told him how he would die, even before it happened. Some others say that Joshua wrote the passages that refer to Moses' death. Others say that, whether or not Moses was a real, historical character, the evidence is that the books were actually written by multiple authors long after the time attributed to Moses. What is well established by linguistic experts is that no one living at the time of Moses could have written in the Hebrew language, as this language only evolved from a dialect of Canaanite late in the tenth century BCE.
