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.

Why was moses never to be allowed into the promised land?
Because, during the trip from Egypt to the Holy Land, he became frustrated when the Israelites started to become restless and complaining about the hard trip they have to take when they could have just stayed in Egypt. They also started to question whether God was actually watching over them and whether he was there at all. At one point, they complain about a lack of water since they are walking through a desert and Moses gets fed up with them so he splits a rock with his cane and produces water without asking the grace of God to provide for them. God denies him the right to go into promised land because he abused his powers that were given by God

In the story of Moses, he was already 80 years old when he led the Israelites out of Egypt and lived a further forty years, so the narrative spans the period approximately 1524 BCE to 1404 BCE.

When did God give Moses instructions on transporting the Ark of the Covenant?
In Exodus 25:10-15, God revealed to Moses how the Ark (or tabernacle) was to be transported. He specifically ordered that there were to be rings on all four corners and four rings on each of the two sides. There were to be staves (long shittim sticks or poles) that are stuck through the rings in order to carry the Ark. David did not use these instructions, instead he transported the Ark on a cart pulled by oxen (2 Sam 6:3-6), which resulted in the Ark being jolted and Uzzah's death from attempting to steady it.
Only Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were patriarchs (Talmud, Berakhot 16b).
Why did god not want his people to go back to Egypt when moses got them out?

What is the main conflict in the story of Moses in Egypt in old Testament?
Moses was sent to Egypt by God to bring the Hebrews out of their slavery so that God could start a new nation (People) for His name. The main problem was that Pharaoh was not willing to let the people go. God sent many plagues upon Egypt, but it wasn't until the death of the "first borns" that Pharaoh decided to let the people go out of his country. Of coarse we know that Pharaoh had second thoughts and send troops to bring them back. but God drowned the soldiers in the Red Sea.
What were the characteristics of Moses in the Bible?
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. (See: How did Moses know he was an Israelite?)
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).
