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.

Abraham was one of Moses' forefathers:
Abraham,
Isaac,
Jacob,
Levi,
Kehath,
Amram, the father of Moses
Abraham and Moses founded Judaism, though they lived a few centuries apart.
Abraham came from ancestry that had been aware of God a couple of centuries earlier but had afterwards slipped into idolatry (Joshua 24:2).
By the time of Abraham, the area where he lived was full of pagan cults; they were polytheistic, worshiping multiple deities. Abraham became the first to advance the idea of ethical monotheism: the worship of One God, and the appropriate ethical code of conduct.
Moses was a great-great grandson of Jacob. He eventually achieved the highest level of prophecy (Deuteronomy ch.34) and was called upon by God (Exodus ch.3). He brought the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery (Exodus ch.12). He received the Torah from God (Exodus 24:12) and later recorded it in writing (Deuteronomy 31:24). He went up on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights (Deuteronomy ch.9-10) and brought down the Two Stone Tablets with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18). He brought the Israelites into the covenant with God (Exodus ch.19 and ch.24). He was the humblest of men and the greatest of prophets (Numbers ch.12).
Where did Moses received the Ten Commandments?
The event took place at Mt. Sinai. The entire unified people of Israel, gathered at the base of the mountain, heard the Ten Commandments spoken in some kind of loud voice from the direction of the mountain, and found the experience so fearful and exhausting that they begged not to hear any more first-hand, and for Moses to bring the rest to them and tell them about it. The so-called "Ten Commandments" came direct, not through Moses.
Also according to scripture, forty years later, as Moses narrated his memoirs to the people just before his death, and recalled the event at Sinai, he paraphrased the Ten Commandments, not even repeating the same words that everyone had heard there.
However, the actual location of the Mt. Sinai of the Bible is in dispute. Although the traditional location is in the Sinai Peninsula, the Apostle Paul said it was in Saudi Arabia:-
Gal 4 (v.25) For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Mt. Sinai is believed by some to correspond to Jebel-el-Lawz in Saudi Arabia, but since that country is Islamic and forbids anything christian, let alone exploration, physical verification on-site is impossible. However, it is marked on Google Earth.
Was Moses historical or biblical?
The respected Israeli archaeologist, Israel Finkelstein says that over 90 per cent of scholars do not believe there ever was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. On this view, Moses could never have been alive in the historical sense. And the Amarna Letters prove conclusively that Palestine continued to be ruled by petty Canaanite kings under overall Egyptian control until at least 1270 BCE.
So, Moses is certainly biblical, in fact one of the most important people in the Bible. But he was not historical.
Who were the 12 spies sent to Amalek in Deuteronomy?
You are confusing two separate Biblical events. Amalek was the ruler of a group of marauders who attacked the Israelites. On a different day, Moses sent 12 spies to the Land of Israel to survey it. The names of those twelve spies (who had nothing to do with Amalek are below)
Numbers 13:3-16 per the NIV:
3 So at the Lord's command Moses sent them out from the Desert of Paran. All of them were leaders of the Israelites. 4 These are their names:
from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zakkur;
5 from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
6 from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
7 from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
8 from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;
9 from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
10 from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
11 from the tribe of Manasseh (a tribe of Joseph), Gaddi son of Susi;
12 from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
13 from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
14 from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;
15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Maki.
16 These are the names of the men Moses sent to explore the land. (Moses gave Hoshea son of Nun the name Joshua.)

Who preached the first gospel message?
Answer:
Well, according to Jesus, the gospel (which means, good news,) message that He preached is the coming Kingdom of God. He says that we should "repent of our sins and believe that good news message." (Mark 1:15)
So, going by that, I have to say, since nothing is recorded about Abel in that regard... I have to say that Enoch preached the Kingdom of God, first:
"...Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, THE LORD HIMSELF COMETH with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." (Jude 1:14-15)
His audience sure wasn't very tolerant of the gospel, were they, that they killed Enoch over it? Those folks in the "days of Noah" were a tough sell. (Matt.24:37)
Answer
Adam was the first to preach the gospel to his own family. Though he could not see God he could commune with Him and so hear of the things that he should teach his family and his posterity.
Answer according to the Bible:
The gospel message could not be preached until the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because that is the good news. That God sent His son to die for our sins and be raised so we also can have a new life in him. So the first gospel message was preached by Peter on the Day of Pentecost and is recorded in Acts chapter 2.
What was the biblical kingdom where moses died?
Moses died in the land of Moab. He was buried in a valley in the land of Moab over against Beth-pe'-or. Beth-pe'-or, in the bible, is the town of ancient Palestine where Baal-peor was worshiped.The bible says that no man knows of where Moses' grave is to this day. Deuteronomy 34:5-8
The Law of Moses refers to the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) known by the Hebrew word "Torah" (means to teach). They are: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
There are 613 instances in which God declares that you "shall" or "shall not" do something and are all considered commandments (or law) among the Jews since biblical times.
The bible says that Moses and the people had no food, so they were provided Manna.
Was moses a prophet or a politician?
A prophet.
Moses was an Israelite, a great-great grandson of Jacob. He was born 245 years after the death of Abraham. The time when Moses was born was when the Pharaoh had ordered his people to kill all Israelite male infants because he (Pharaoh) was afraid that the Israelites would become too strong for him (Exodus ch.1-2).
Moses' mother didn't want him to die. So she made a basket for him and put him in it to float in the Nile reeds. He was found by Pharaoh's daughter, who took pity on him (Exodus ch.2) and raised him as her own son.
Moses was forced to flee after killing a cruel Egyptian taskmaster, and went to Midian, where he wedded the daughter of Jethro.
He eventually achieved the highest level of prophecy (Deuteronomy ch.34) and was called upon by God (Exodus ch.3). He brought the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery (Exodus ch.12). He received the Torah from God (Exodus 24:12) and later recorded it in writing (Deuteronomy 31:24). He went up on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights (Deuteronomy ch.9-10) and brought down the Two Stone Tablets with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18). He brought the Israelites into the covenant with God (Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), and he oversaw the building of the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.35-40). He was the humblest of men and the greatest of prophets (Numbers ch.12).

Link: Problems that Moses faced and overcame
- How did Moses know he was an Israelite?
1) In those days, Israelite custom was to nurse babies for up to four years. Since it was his own mother who nursed him (Exodus 2:8-9), his family had plenty of time to teach him before he was returned to Pharaoh's daughter (Exodus 2:10) to live in the palace.
2) Moses was not a prisoner in the royal palace. He came and went as he pleased (Exodus 2:11 and 2:13) and sought out his people (ibid).
- Did Moses ever sin or make a mistake?
The claim to infallibility is a sure sign of megalomania and prevarication. The Hebrew Bible, because of its Divine origin, kowtows to no man, and prominently spotlights the faults of even its greatest protagonists. In this regard it is unique in ancient literature.
Moses' sin is mentioned (Numbers 20:12 and 24) again and again (Numbers ch.27, Deuteronomy ch.32). He struck the rock which was, by a miracle of God, made into a source of water (Numbers ch.20). He was supposed to speak to the rock instead (ibid). Striking the rock served to slightly diminish the miracle.
It should be self-understood that this criticism of Moses is only in proportion to his greatness. In the final analysis, he remained the most godly person who ever lived (Deuteronomy ch.34).
Why did GOD allow only husbands the right to seek divorce back in the Old Testament?
Well, you can debate this and put whatever sort of slant you want on it, but the bottom line is that in ancient Hebrew society essentially no woman would have sought a divorce anyway. Her father wouldn't have taken her back in and it would have been unlikely that she would have been able to find another husband. There were very few jobs open to women, so she would probably have been forced to become a prostitute.
What did Moses say is the true way to follow God's teachings?
Jews are called upon to learn and obey God's Torah. Others are not obligated, though the Torah does contain some lessons for all people.
Who was Moses Maimonides and what was his major achievement?
He wass a Jewish philosopher who beleived the importance of reason.
Was the core of the Law the ten commandments given by God to moses?
Yes, you could say that. One reason why that is correct is that God spoke the Ten Commandments to all the Israelites (Exodus ch.19-20), while the rest of the Law (the Torah) was spoken to them through Moses (Exodus 24:12). Also, God himself inscribed the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18), while the rest of the Law (Torah) was penned by Moses (Deuteronomy ch.31).
Still, the Jews are not permitted to stress the Ten Commandments to a degree that would suggest that they're not as obligated to keep the entire Torah (Talmud, Berakhot 12a).
