where did the hebrews settled after the exodus?
canaan
judaism and islam are known as "abrahamic religions". the first abrahamic religion was judaism as practiced in the wilderness of the sinai peninsula subsequent to the exodus of the hebrews from egypt and continuing as the hebrews entered the land of canaan to conquer and settle it. the kingdom eventually split into the kingdoms of israel and judah prior to the babylonian exile, at the beginning of the 1st millennium ad. the firstborn son of abraham, ishmael, is considered by muslims to be the "father of the arabs". abraham's second son isaac is called "father of the hebrews". in islamic tradition isaac is viewed as the grandfather of all israelites and the promised son of ibraham from his barren wife sarah. in the hadith, muhammad says that some twenty five thousand prophets and messengers came from abraham's seed, most of these being from isaac, and that the last one in this line was jesus. in the jewish tradition abraham is called "avraham avinu" or "our father abraham". for muslims, he is considered an important prophet of islam (see "ibrahim") and the ancestor of muhammad through ishmael. ibrahim is regarded as one of the prophets of islam alongside noah, moses, jesus, and muhammad, among others. the narrative of his life in the quran is similar to that seen in the tanakh.

during the exodus from egypt, the hebrews follow moses's original path through the desert towards the red sea. still grieving for his son, ramesses assembles his army and gives chase, intending to destroy the hebrews. after making their way through a dangerous mountain pass, moses and the hebrews arrive at the edge of the sea, uncertain about what to do. in despair, moses flings his sword into the sea, which recedes, clearing a path to the opposite side. ramesses and his army continue the pursuit, but moses stays behind to confront them. the red sea reverts to its normal state, drowning the majority of the egyptians (crossing the red sea). moses survives and rejoins the hebrews. ramesses also survives, but is distraught and stunned over the destruction of his army and empire, and with no way to return to egypt. moses leads the hebrews back to midian, where he reunites with zipporah and gershom. at mount sinai, moses transcribes the ten commandments. years later, an elderly moses riding with the ark of the covenant sees god's manifestation walking with the hebrews through the desert.
