[Narrator] According to the Biblical text, Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt to the land of Canaan, the Holy [?] Land.
Mount Nebo, Jordan

[Israel Finkelstein] The first verses of the Book of Joshua say the following:
"After the death of Moses, the SERVANT of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua, the son of Nun, Moses' minister,
'Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, unto the land which I am giving to them, to the people of Israel, every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon, I have given to you, as I promised to Moses.'"
