He was well educated and considered the son of the prince. After he learned of his birth and original family, he ran away to the southern islands where nobody was able to find him.He was later told by God to help other slaves who were still being exploited in Egypt by their masters. Following what he felt was God’s words he returned to Egypt and carried out God’s mission to help these slaves escape. He then formed a Hebrew community and became the prophet of all Abrahamic religions, very close to Judaism. He was looked up to as a teacher by his followers. After he had served as a leader for a while, he handed his task over to Joshua and left Israel. https://padlet.com/hutchisk/7v11yzh6pc8e/wish/444607608 2020-02-12 19:37:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hutchisk/7v11yzh6pc8e/wish/444607608 in islam, you greet people by saying assalamu alaikum then the other person says vailiaqum as salam https://padlet.com/hutchisk/7v11yzh6pc8e/wish/444607924 2020-02-12 19:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hutchisk/7v11yzh6pc8e/wish/444607924 The Ancient Egyptians wore clothing made from linen.
