Question

Read the passage. Then answer the question that follows.

Answer 1

Answer:   C. The Israelites received a set of moral laws that showed the people how to behave.

Explanation:  After leaving Egypt, the Israelites wandered through the desert for 40 years. Traveling through the desert was very hard, sometimes dramatic and on the brink of a fratricidal conflict. The Exodus from Egypt is of course an important event in the history of Israel, but during a journey through the desert before they arrived in   Canaan, something that may have been more important happened.  As they traveled to the promised land, Moses received the Ten Commandments, which formed the basis of Jewish belief, morals and ethics. In addition to the Ten Commandments, during their journey, Moses wrote a series of books on rules of behavior and moral life, embedded in the Old Testament, the foundation of Jewish faith, life and culture.

The promised earth itself, Canaan, has been through the tradition, since Abraham's time was known as the final destination.
