Friday, September 5, 2014. Exodus 5 v.1-23. Aaron and Moses went to the Pharaoh and told him, "Hey, god wants you to let all the Israelites go have a festival in the wilderness. So they'll need some time off, I guess.". And the Pharaoh said, "Um, who wants? And Moses said, "You know. God.". Nah, I don't know that guy. I don't think so.". Aaron and Moses persisted, "Come on, we need a three day weekend or god's gonna be mad at us and uh, strike us down! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). In the beginning. &#...

Thursday, March 24, 2011. Exodus 1: v1-22 (New king of Egypt enslaves the Israelites). And so our trek continues with the book of Exodus. Joseph died, but his family continued to grow until they filled up the place. Then a new king came into power (Pharaoh, I thought? And decided to enslave them all. This is separate from the people Joseph enslaved. Not so nice when it happens to you, is it? Though their numbers were great, the Hebrews only had two midwives, Shiphrah. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, August 31, 2014. While I was gone I started to get really into my fiction, and to lose interest in writing a paraphrased version of the NIV. One of my friends told me the other day that I should get back into it, and I need a sort of mental writing break from my incredibly slowly progressing novel so I've decided to continue Exodus.

Monday, November 5, 2012. Exodus 4 v.1-31 A jumbled mess of Moses. This chapter is hard to read. For my purposes, it doesn't matter why. Is Moses on the road to Egypt or not? Did he leave already? His wife just cuts off their son's foreskin? I dunno. Here's how it sounds:. That long stick thing in your hand. Oh this? This is a staff. Oh, okay, throw it on the ground. It turns into a snake. Ah! Don't be a pussy, just grab it by the tail. Oh, it's a staff again. Moses was dubious he would be able to carry ...

Monday, November 29, 2010. Genesis 48: 1-22 (Israel Blesses the Wrong Child). Joseph was told some time later that his father was sick. Joseph took his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, to go see Israel and secure a blessing. When they got there, Israel decided to regail them with a story. When I was in Luz, god told me, right to my face he did, that he was going to make me a great nation, and that all my decendents would have that land forever and ever. We buried her there. Here's the blessing. Ahem.

I wish this existed back when I was making my first crawls through the Tanakh ten years ago - it would have made me feel a good deal less alone in my dumbfounded astonishment at the parade of terrible, terrible things that is the Old Testament. The author quotes extensively from the original material, as a proper Bible study ought, and his commentary is both light and enlightening throughout. List of Biblical Atrocities.

Sunday, March 8, 2009. Genesis Chapter 29 v. 1-35. Jacob got to Paddan Aram and there was a well with a huge stone over it, and the shepherds were gathering their flocks around it to water them. Jacob asked the shepherds if they knew Laban and they said, oh yeah. Here comes his daughter Rachel with his herds. Jacob looked and saw a lovely shepherdess, and he rolled the stone off the well just for her. Then he introduced himself, and for some reason began to cry. She was a sight for sore eyes! So Jacob go...
