Two Historical Journeys: Moses’ Travels

By Christian Peter John Bahnerth

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.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The author wishes to express his appreciation to Reverent Gabor Szabo. for his ministry and personal support during the preparation of this manuscript, especially during the author’s illness. A special thanks also to present and past Members¹ of the St. Peter’s Memorial Lutheran Church Congregation whose in-depth questions were especially helpful during the early research phase of this undertaking. Without them, the author would never have known even the surface of what they wanted to learn about and needed to know more about the EXODUS as a journey, more than the simplified Sunday School stories, they heard about in their youth.

ABSTRACT

The two journeys involving Moses² 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 BC³ 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.

This study originated to clear up some misgivings about where the crossing of the Red Sea by the Israelites took place. My research suggested six different places, but only one of them could have been the real one.

A study and explanation of facts relating to the Exodus journey including the
