Aatami wasn't there to witness when drought destroyed his great great great great great grandfather's land. All of the grass that had once been a luscious green was now a dull yellow, trees that were as big as a three story building had dried up and rotted, and the land quit producing enough for his granddad's family of nine. His grandfather had heard tale of enough food in Egypt to feed his family and more for many years. Little did Aatami's grandfather know what he was really embarking on when his family moved to Egypt.
Aatami's ancestors were accepted in Egypt as slaves. The pharaoh saw them as threats to overthrow their government, so he put them to work. Over many years, Aatami's family worked on making clay bricks for the pharaoh's pyramid. Aatami's family went through many generations before he was born. When he was finally born, a leader arose from the Israelites who said he would free them from Egypt.
Aatami was five years old when a man named Moses told the Israelites he heard their Lord's voice coming from a burning bush telling them to leave Egypt. Moses repeatedly went to the pharaoh and told him to let the Israelites go. The pharaoh refused. God sent a ten plagues to try to convince the pharaoh, but pharaoh still refuses until finally, a plague killed the pharaohs son.
Moses told the Israelites they had to flee Egypt immediately for the pharaoh might retaliate and come for them. Sure enough, Moses was right. As they came to the Red Sea, Aatami watch as Moses raised his staff to part the waters. All of the Israelites walked across the now dry land to the other side of the sea. Aatami was amazed to sea fish, whales, and other sea creatures float by as he walked past. He went to the wall of water and touched it, but his mother quickly yanked his hand away. When they reached the other side, the water collapsed on all of the Egyptians who tried to catch them.
The Israelites took the long journey to the Promised Land. On their way there, they stopped at a very tall mountain. The leader of them, Moses, went to the top and brought back the Ten Commandments. He read them out to all of the Israelites since these were the rules they were supposed to follow. Unfortunately, the Israelites did not follow them very well. Aatami had not reached the Age of Accountability yet, so he didn't know better when he did something wrong.
When the Israelites finally reached Canaan, Moses had died and Aatami had grown into a man. He was tall, his chest was hairy, and he even had a wife, Adina. They took part in a battle to take down a city called Jericho. A man named Joshua came to lead after Moses died. He marched around the walls of Jericho with his army shouting out battle cries and blowing trumpets. By the seventh day, the walls crumbled and the Israelites took over Jericho.
Aatami became good friends with the sailors who lived by the sea. They called themselves Phoenicians. He became such good friends with the Phoenicians that they gave him ideas for trade and alphabets. They had such good ideas that Aatami took them to the the judges of the land, and they put them into play. From these ideas, Aatami became a great known figure to the Israelites and went down in history.

I think the Israelites should have taken a different route to the Promised Land. If you were to look at a map, you would see how insane the path they took really was. If they would have taken a different path, they would have gotten to the Promised land Faster and would not have to waste as many resources to getting there. I know that when they left, they probably didn't have enough time to bring enough materials for them to survive, so a quicker route would have helped a lot more.
On their way to Canaan, the Israelites stopped by Mount Sinai where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Moses took longer than expected on Mount Sinai, so the Israelites began to lose faith in God. Aaron, Moses' brother, saw the Israelites faith beginning to fade, so he took all of the gold and melted it down, Afterwards, he made an idol of a golden calf for the Israelites to worship. Moses came back down from Mount Sinai and was so appalled that he threw the tablets on the ground, shattering them. Moses then had to go back up the mountain and get another "copy" of the tablets to show to the Israelites. They should have kept their faith, so they wouldn't have to take as much time at the mountain instead of traveling.
One thing I think the Israelites should have done differently was to trust God. When they reached Canaan and sent the spies in, most of the spies came back and told how the Canaanites were big and powerful, so there was no way they could take back the promised land. By not trusting God, God sent them back into the desert to wander until all of the people from that age were dead. He only let the innocent go into Canaan. 40 years went by before the Israelites returned to Canaan.
