Corrected entry: At the end of the movie, a line from the song Deliver Us is playing as Moses returns from the mountain with the Ten Commandments. The line is as follows: "Deliver Us to the Promised Land" However, in the time line of the exodus from Egypt when Moses received the Ten Commandments, the Israelites were still wandering in the desert, not in the promised land as the song suggests.

Corrected entry: In the movie, the woman who found and raised Moses was the Pharaoh's wife. In the Bible, it was the Pharaoh's daughter who found Moses and raised him.
Correction: Once again, they show in the beginning of the movie that they changed some of the things that were written in the Bible in order to benefit the movie. Judging that this is a very minor change made in order to entertain the audience, it is not a mistake. Pharoah's daughter is never shown in the film, while his wife is shown many times. It may have confused the audience (particularly younger children) if they showed a very minor character (not to be shown in the film at any later point) find the baby.

Correction: It was a long journey for the Hebrews to reach the promised land, it didn't just stop there. The filmmakers obviously wanted to end the movie at that point because the film was already very long, and they didn't want to add yet another half hour showing the Hebrews wandering around. And by reaching the other end of the Red Sea, the Hebrews achieved their goal of getting away from the Egyptians. So, theoretically, they did reach the promised land, which was freedom for them.
