Not quite, it's an organ in the nasal cavity of many tetrapods which detects non-volatile chemicals rather than smells. However I think you're near enough so, your turn...

When the Jews made their journey out of Egypt, led by a leader with a staff, that leader was under the mistaken impression that horticultural podiatry was required to help him on that journey. In a well-known film. that event was used as lyrics in a song.
Who can tell what the verses were that told of the matter?

I suppose the song isn't that one which is presumably reckoned highly un-PC nowadays: about a Sunday school catering to a certain segment of humanity (Young folks, old folks, everybody come ...) -- verse thereof, dealing with the Exodus?

HINT...the singers in the film were well-known dancers and sang the short song whilst dancing.

Was the song "It Ain't Necessarily So"?

Not that one.
If I were to name the film or any of the dancers, this poser would soon be solved.....so I won't just yet.

What decade should we be thinking about, if that doesn’t make it too easy?

The early part of the 1950s. The film is an iconic American musical.

West Side Story?

I think that how the poser was worded with Biblical implications should have given the game away.

I’ll go for what is probably a quick one - who or what is the Empress of Blandings?

A South American tree snail.
Wondrous thoughts conjured up -- but the life-form concerned must, I fear: be pretty much as unlike a South American tree snail, as it is possible to be.

Groundhog?

The MacAque Clan?
Marvellous flights of the imagination; but -- not on the whole surprisingly 
-- none so far, right. Possible hint: @Xenophon PCDGS and @Gloster, relatively closer than other participants.

Bonobo
Again; I'm afraid, no. Note -- class, not superfamily.
