Of course ‘Moses’ is a very rare name ... jumping to conclusion is always the best idea. Right?

Prior to the period in Egypt the Hebrews had no sacred edifices, temporary or permanent. “Alters” were erected where local custom chose and abandoned as families and clans migrated. Then Moses designated a specific tabernacle to be erected with the migrating Hebrews during the Exodus and its dimensions became the model for the Holy of Holies exclusive inner chamber in the later temple in Jerusalem. Moses, the experience in exile in Egypt, and the Exodus affected later formation of some Hebrew religious practices.

Moses WAS a very rare - even unique - name back then among the Hebrews. Moses was not a Hebrew name, but an Egyptian one, given to him by the daughter of Pharaoh. How many Hebrews would have had that name? ZERO, at least until Moses died and people started to honor his memory by naming their kids for him. Oh, and when he died, it was on the eve of the Joshua-led invasion of Canaan, where the Hebrews settled - and these inscriptions were found in the Sinai desert, where the Hebrews had been many years before.
