He and his brother entered into a compact with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharaoh_of_the_Exodus king of Egypt] whereby they were granted permission peaceably to leave the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile_valley valley of the Nile] for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabian_Desert Arabian Desert]. They were to receive a modest payment of [[money]] and goods in token of their long [[service]] in Egypt. The [[Hebrews]] for their part entered into an [[agreement]] to maintain friendly relations with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharaohs_of_Egypt Pharaohs] and not to join in any [[alliance]] against [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt Egypt]. But the [[king]] later saw fit to repudiate this [[treaty]], giving as his [[reason]] the excuse that his spies had [[discovered]] disloyalty among the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedouin Bedouin] [[slaves]]. He claimed they sought [[freedom]] for the [[purpose]] of going into the [[desert]] to organize the [[nomads]] against [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt Egypt].

96:3.5 But [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] was not discouraged; he bided his [[time]], and in less than a year, when the Egyptian [[military]] forces were fully occupied in resisting the [[simultaneous]] onslaughts of a strong [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Libya Libyan] thrust from the south and a [[Greek]] naval [[invasion]] from the north, this [[intrepid]] [[organizer]] led his compatriots out of Egypt in a spectacular night flight.

And they were successful, notwithstanding that they were hotly pursued by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharaoh_of_the_Exodus Pharaoh] and a small body of Egyptians, who all fell before the fugitives' [[defense]], yielding much booty, all of which was augmented by the loot of the advancing host of [[escaping]] [[slaves]] as they marched on toward their [[ancestral]] [[desert]] [[home]].
