This book describes the life of Moses and his lead­er­ship of the Exo­dus from Egypt, with an expla­na­tion as to why he was not allowed to cross the Jor­dan Riv­er to die in the Promised Land. Although the Bible claims it was because he smote the rock = rather than speak to it at Merib­ah, the true rea­son was because his hands were taint­ed by the blood of the Hebrews he had to con­demn to cap­i­tal pun­ish­ment for fail­ing to fol­low the edicts of the Mosa­ic Code. As King David was not allowed to build the First Tem­ple, Moses was forced to trans­fer the lead­er­ship of the Exo­dus to Joshua to main­tain puri­ty of the Holy Land.
