Two Historical Journeys

About the Book

The two journeys involving Moses[1] as an instrument of a higher power may seem unrelated but are never more minor parts of one event. Indeed, they are an incomplete narrative of one event if we read about the second event without some knowledge of the first. This Post-Doctoral study is on two of Moses’ journeys, the one, to Midian and back, before the Exodus proper and the one better known as the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. Beginning briefly with his first journey in 1508 BC[2] as a flight from Egypt after being sought for killing a brutal slave-master and continuing with Moses’ second journey as the leader on the flight of a mixed group of Semitic people from their slavery in Egypt to their freedom and nationhood on their arrival in the Promised Land after the death of Moses.
