Whom did the israelites look to for stability and leadership during their exile from Israel

Moses

Explanation:

God had commanded (Moses) to take his people to the promise land he had for his people but because if their foolishness they had to wonder in the wilderness for 40 yrs, after the 40 yrs it was mostly a new generation so then the new generation kept traveling to their promise land. All the Israelite's looked up to Moses, and in the bible it say's a cloud in form if pillar would guide them during the day and a pillar of fire in the night.

Moses

He led them out of Eygypt and traveled with them 40 years in the wilderness because of their wickedness.
