to the borders of canaan
the story of the exodus is told in the books of exodus, leviticus, numbers, and deuteronomy, the last four of the five books of the bible (also called the pentateuch or torah). it begins with the israelites in slavery. their prophet moses leads them out of egypt and through the wilderness to mount sinai, where yahweh reveals himself to his people and establishes the mosaic covenant: they are to keep his "torah" (i.e. law, instruction), and in return he will give them the land of canaan. the israelites accept the covenant and receive their laws, and, with yahweh now present in their midst, journey on from sinai, towards the promised land, but when the twelve spies report that the land is filled with cannibalistic giants they refuse to go on, and yahweh condemns them to remain in the desert until the generation that left egypt passes away. after thirty-eight years at the oasis of kadesh barnea the next generation travel on to the borders of canaan, where moses addresses them for the final time, reviewing their travels and giving them further laws. the exodus ends with the death of moses on mount nebo and his burial by yahweh, while the israelites prepare for the conquest of the land.

on october 11, the day after the hijackers had disembarked the ship, egyptian president hosni mubarak lied to the media when asked about them saying they had left within hours of coming ashore, "they have actually left egypt. i do not know exactly where they have gone. perhaps they have left for tunisia." his foreign minister esmat abdel meguid reiterated the same message "they left egypt. i know where they are, but i am not going to tell you." mubarak would also falsely insist that the hijackers had left egypt before he had information about captain de rosa's correction, "if the captain had told us that a passenger had been killed, we would have changed our position toward the whole operation. but when this [news of the murder] emerged, we already had sent the hijackers out of the country." mubarak also repeated the suggestion that no one had been killed "there is no body and no proof he has been murdered. maybe the man is hiding or did not board the ship at all." at the time of mubarak's statements to the news media, the u.s. administration had already received intelligence information that the hijackers were still in egypt.
