Moses never entered Israel. In fact, Moses never set foot in Israel at any time in his life, either before or after the Exodus.
No, according to the Bible, Moses' wife, Zipporah, did not enter the Promised Land. Moses himself was not allowed to enter because he disobeyed God's command.
No, Moses did not establish Jerusalem as the capital of the Nation of Israel. Jerusalem became the capital of Israel under King David, who conquered the city. Moses lived centuries before Jerusalem became the capital.
Moses was the God-appointed leader of Israel at the time when they were led out of the slavery (and attempted genocide/infanticide) in Egypt, eventually to enter the land of Israel or Canaan. They were thus liberated by God, through the chief agency and leadership of Moses. See Exodus ch.1 through 12.
We are living in the seventh covenant, which is where God's people finish their earthly pilgrimage and enter into heavenly glory for all eternity.

Even though God used Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, Moses was not allowed to enter the promised land.
The new covenant with Jesus Christ our LORD. There are a lot of covenants in the Pentateuch (1st 5 books). Adam & Eve, and then Noah after the flood. But then comes the Patriarch, Abraham...God makes a covenant with Abraham and his descendants...from Abraham comes Jacob, who is the father of Israel. Israel is enslaved in Egypt and God sends Moses to free them. At Sinai (Horeb - same thing), god writes the Decalogue (10 commandments) for Israel. Moses comes down to find them worshiping the golden calf (Egyptian god). The only people who didn't bow down to the idol were the tribe of Levi - the Levites. So, God establishes the Levites as a priestly order over the other tribes of Israel because of their loyalty and holiness. Now we're in the book of Leviticus (book for/of Levi-Levites). The first half of the book spells out the duties of the newly ordained Levitical priests, while the second half is the law by which the other tribes must obey to make reparation for the golden calf. Then the people are about to enter the Promised Land (Canaa) and they're too afraid because of the "giants" living there. God punishes them for not following through by having them wander in the desert for 40 years (so the first sinful generation could die off because they had rejected God so many times and He wanted to shower their children with His love and blessings). This happens, and then we enter the book of Numbers, where two census' are taken. Then the people are at the edge of Canaa - again - and they decide to yoke themselves to the pagans on the Plains of Moab. Phineas, a Levitical Priest, kills them because God ordered them hanged and no one would do it so he speared them. God rewards Phineas' piety and makes a covenant with his descendants. Now into Deuteronomy....God re-establishes the Levitical line from Phineas as the royal priesthood of Israel and makes a revised covenant (because the peoples' hearts were so hard by now they couldn't even begin to follow the covenant in Leviticus) allowing certain "evils" i.e. divorce, etc...through Moses and then the Israelites enter Canaa without him (his punishment for disobedience earlier). This covenant, made with the Israeli people through Moses and the Levitical line of Phineas, blessed by God, is the covenant that was the law of the land for Israel until the coming of Christ, who said, "I have not come to abolish the law," speaking of the law of Deuteronomy, "but to fulfill it." Later, at the Last Supper, Christ says, "Take; eat. This is My body, which will be given up for you....Take; drink. This is the cup of My blood - the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of Me." so, Christ - who is God - establishes a new covenant through His body and blood with us and calls it, "...the new and everlasting covenant." Pax Christi....AMDG!
When you repent
Yes, immigrants enter and exit Israel.
No, Moses was not the first king in the land of Canaan. According to religious texts, Moses was a prophet and leader who guided the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, but he did not rule as a king in Canaan. The first king in Canaan was likely Saul, who ruled around the 11th century BCE.
The word means 'Second Law.' It is a recap of the writings in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers for this new generation of Israelites. The Nation of Israel was ready to enter into the Promised Land after their long, 40 year sojourn in the desert. This was Moses' last chance to prepare the children for their new life in the land of their inheritance, especially since Moses himself, would not be going with them. Moses emphatically wanted to make sure this generation fully understood the Covenant the nation made with God. Moses dies on Mount Nebo and Joshua leds the Nation into the Promised Land.
