Line 48:

Jehovah appointed [[Moses]] as a prophet and set the Israelites free from Egypt through him. Jehovah divided the Red Sea and let the Israelites cross on dry ground, and was with them as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. Throughout their life in the desert, God sent down [[manna]] from heaven for the Israelites.

It took them forty years to enter the promised land of Canaan. The 40-year history of Israel's journey in the desert was a time of refinement to test their faith in God and obedience to the covenant.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+8%3A1-16+&version=NIV |title=Deuteronomy 8:1–16 |quote=}}</ref><br>Jehovah made a covenant by proclaiming the [[The Ten Commandments|Ten Commandments]] on [[Mount Sinai]] the year they came out of Egypt. It was called the [[Old Covenant|old covenant]] or the [[Law of Moses]]. While living in the desert, Jehovah educated the Israelites according to the covenant and the law, and said that He would make them His people if they obeyed. Most of the people who came out of Egypt, however, grumbled, complained, and forsook God’s covenant and eventually died in the desert. Among the males who came out of Egypt, only [[Joshua]], [[Caleb]], and the generation born in the desert entered Canaan.<br>
