The Book of Exodus states that Temutis, daughter of the Pharaoh Set, met Moses while bathing on the Nile. She adopted him and raised him as a son. When he was 40 (1552 BC), after murdering a taskmaster, he left for the exile. He settled near the Gulf of Aqaba and marries Zipporah. After many trials and hardships he leads his people to Canaan, the Promised Land. The Judeo-Christian tradition ascribes the first five books of the Old Testament to him. Muslims consider Musa (Moses) a great prophet.
