  6. Continued • Moses believed that the Israelites would never be free of the Pharaoh’s cruelty until they left Egypt and resettled in the land of Canaan, which lay across the Sinai Desert to the east. • To monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) Moses is known as a prophet, or someone who speaks for God and delivers instructions on how to live and worship religiously. • After a difficult journey through impossible conditions, the Israelites reached their “promised land.” • Sadly, Moses did not live to see this day.
