Moses Plagues Pharoah | Exodus | The Weird Bible Podcast: Episode 6

In the very second book of the Bible, Israel is already enslaved within Egypt. You've heard the story before, we know; Moses brought the Jews out of bondage by bringing God's wrath upon Pharaoh. Then they crossed the Red Sea, got some commandments, and took over their own little slice of Heaven...or at least Canaan. There is, however, so much more to the story. Eclipses, treasure cities, and the Sea Peoples all play into the magnificent story of Moses's escape from Egypt.

*Romans 13.1-7* Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to _execute_ wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore _ye_ must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute also, for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is _due;_ custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

@@davidsandrock7826 What about the fact that as a republic, US citizens are able to decide who is in government? We can't just let the country fly off the tracks and go against our morals just because the "powers" are ordained by God. The leaders are not the only ones responsible for the actions of many, but the followers as well.

When I was a teen, my Sunday school teacher said something about the book of Exodus that has stuck with me for years. It was a passing comment but it was powerful. He said: Exodus is about a father’s fury over the mistreatment of his children. Edit: 1:04:24 spiritual war reminds me of one of our spiritual victories. The last prophecy of the oracle of Delphi: “Tell the emperor that the Daidalic hall has fallen. No longer does Phoebus have his chamber, nor mantic laurel, nor prophetic spring and the speaking water has been silenced." To me, this is a win. The false gods no longer speak to us humans, and the one true God’s voice is the only one we can hear.

"The best leaders are the ones who are given control" I would like for him to expand on the matter, because the story of people being born into royalty fucking up their kingdom is one that keeps repeating itself throughout history. Those that actually have to work hard to obtain the right to rule are the ones that value their kingdom the most.

[@Abysalss]

Those are actually far less common than democratically elected leaders fucking up their countries. There are a lot of inbuilt reasons to keep a country good if you’re a monarchal line whereas the only incentive of the elected is to do either just good enough to get it again til they run out of terms or to just immediately try and cash in because you’ve got no reason to care now that you’re in

[@davidsandrock7826]

I’d say the caveat would be that the best rulers are those who don’t _seek,_ or necessarily even _want,_ control, but are given it nonetheless. George Washington and Dwight D. Eisenhower are two of the most highly regarded US presidents, and are excellent examples of this concept.

Just want to say the way you two talk about your belief and faith, really helped to rekindle my own faith. I struggled a lot with a lot of my non-christian/agnostic/atheist family members passing away when I was as young as 13. It made me have doubt and be depressed and go away from god. And now honestly I’m almost desperate to rekindle my faith as I get into my late 20s and life scares me. TL;DR is: thank you. I’m looking into going back to church and prayed tonight for almost 10 minutes. I know that’s not much, but I want to restart my walk with god at my side.

A late comer to the Lore Lodge and Weird Bible, but your pause on the issue of free will regarding the hardening of pharaoh's heart prompted me to throw my two cents into the ring: - When confronted by the sign of the staff-to-serpent in Exodus 7:13, the NKJV says "Pharaoh's heart became hard, and he did not heed them, as the LORD had said." The same phrase "grew hard" repeats again in 8:19, is written as "Pharaoh hardened his heart" in 8:32, "heart became hard" in 9:7. Starting in 9:12, it reads "But the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh; and he did not heed them, just as the LORD had spoken to Moses." "The heart of Pharaoh was hard" is written in 9:35, but returns to "The LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart" in 10:20 and again in 10:27. This is my own interpretation and church upbringing speaking here, but if the verbiage holds true in the original text, it seems that Pharaoh chose to harden his heart at the outset, but after multiple 'chances', God 'gives him over to it' and reinforces his pattern of choice. This was framed, when I was younger, as an object lesson of saying that ultimately, a parent (or God) will let you continue on your path of rejection - a "you've made your choice" sort of rhetoric. Hope that edifies.

Exodus 10:23 "No one could see anyone else or move about for three days. Yet all the Israelites had light in the places where they lived." While it's possible this took place during a supernatural eclipse, the Egyptians not having light for three days, not even in their homes, but the Israelites having light to me is a sign that this wasn't a mere solar eclipse, especially with God Himself saying that the darkness is thick enough to be felt and touched. In my opinion, the light that the Israelites had was the light of God, and I believe all of the plagues were supernatural in nature and couldn't have been viewed as anything but being done by God.

Okay okay, I’ll say the plagued do seem like a typical breakdown in a food chain that would cause a chain of cause and effects. The ecosystem plummeted into chaos and God knew exactly how to do it because he built it. Like taking apart your cool Lego space craft you made, you know how to take a few pieces out and make it useless as well as put those few pieces back into thier specific spots and make the Lego space ship look cool and function (within Lego parameters)

It should be noted that Isaac may not have confused Jacob with Esau. Isaac pointed out how Jacob still sounded like himself, and although he still gave Jacob the blessing, to Esau he gave a curse (to live and die by the sword). Also, the Bible makes it a point to say that God HATED Esau. Him trading the blessing for food wasn't so much Jacob being a jerk by withholding food, but rather Esau quickly and without regret trading the blessing, and it's not like Jacob would've let him starve. Jacob wanted the blessing more than anything, but Esau couldn't really care less, and while God love Jacob, he hated Esau. It should also be noted that Jacob was warned not to go to Egypt but went anyway, but God promised him that his people would leave someday and take his bones with them.

I see on the NASA website where it says eclipse in -1206, Oct 30. In -1207, it's Nov 10. And they're both annular. I tried to verify via Space Engine, which i've used to look at past and future eclipses before, but I suspect the simulation breaks after a certain point and perhaps isn't meant to go 3000 years back like I'm trying to do, so neither of these dates seemed to work, though they were noticeably close.

[@professorhaystacks6606]

There's... some things wrong with this. Not the ideas so much as the biblical innaccuracies. I get this is off the cuff but maybe it'd be best to pause, research, and edit later? I'm kinda just adding here as I go so if this gets corrected later, I'll probably catch it and correct when I have time to listen to the rest. 41:00 or so: Jacob was heading INTO Caanan when he wrestled with God. The incident is very bizzare and seems to indicate someone telling the story long after. There's 2 other related incidents and the 3 parts of Jacob encountering God or angels (notably the man never gives his name) are interspersed with his encounter with Esau. Jacob then lived in Caanan for quite some time, near what we are told would become Bethlehem. He only left due to the famine in the land, and as he was leaving God came to him in a dream and told him to go to Egypt. So he was not defying God by leaving. Indeed if you wish to make that point you could say he was defying by entering the land too soon, though I do not think that is the reason. As you noted, the man Jacob wrestles with has the upper hand really: Jacob sustains serious inury (possibly to the reproductive organs), but the man does not. Yet somehow the man is the one who pleads to be let go. Indeed it should have been Jacob: Jacob was to meet his brother that day, and if it went poorly his children could be killed. The man's blessing shows Jacob he has overcome in his struggles, yet Jacob seems to recognize that it was only by grace that he was allowed to live. Given Jacob was planning to ingratiate himself to Esau and then run away, perhaps the point was that he should trust in the Lord? Jacobs indeed breaks his word to Esau at the end of the episode and does not follow him, but we find later that they reach some sort of accord owing to the land being unable to accomodate both of their flocks. Yet at the end of his life, Jacob does trust the Lord as he goes to Egypt. I don't know, this is only a guess. 45:00: Not an error but an interesting note. The Hebrew on this passage is "The Lord met Moses at the resting place and he sought to kill him." Who sought is ambiguous. A very interesting interpretation is that Moses sought to kill HIMSELF out of despair at the task before him, and Zipporah circumcising their son reminded him of his duty. 49:00 That one annoys me to, but one reading of the passage is "a son of the gods", ie, a demi-god. Remember the king in that story was a polytheist. 52:00: I have no idea what this is talking about about not trying to understand the kingdom of heaven. I'm reasonably certain that's not in the canonical gospels. Are you perhaps thinking of something from the gnostic gospels? Christianity generally encourages examination. 53:00: The reason for 'render unto Caesar' is that some said taxation to a non-Jewish power was unlawful: God alone was due the tithes and offerings, and thus might the temple and the priests be supported. But saying so would be an act of rebellion against Rome. Jesus, however, addresses an interesting issue. Now this is a point of varying interpretations but one is: Money isn't actually what is needed to keep the temple working, but the goods that are supposed to be tithed from. Money of Rome had value only because Rome enforced it as a medium of exchange: It belonged to Caesar and was given value only by him. 56:00: I've heard 'tetra-gram-at-ton', but that could be wrong. Also YHWH is probably 3rd person: "He is" I'm also not clear on the linking of Jesus saying "I am" (in Greek or Aramaic) and the earthquake. Those were 2 separate events. For good Christian movies, I'd suggest Risen and Paul: Apostle of Christ. Same group and they are setting-accurate for history. They both invent characters not known in history or scripture for the sake of a story, but the setting is reasonably accurate for the place and time of the setting. 1:17:00: At first 'pharoah's heart was hardened', but for the later plagues 'the Lord hardened Pharoah's heart'. Also I'm greatly amused by the frog plague: Pharoah's court magicians summon frogs as well. And now they have even more frogs. 1:32:00: During totality you're actually supposed to dispense with the glasses. Only way to see the corona. More to the point, this has a problem. The Oct 30, 1207 BC eclipse was annular, not total, so there would not be total darkness purely on that. Annular eclipses are freaky, though, and this one was over park of Old Egypt. Also this is not, to my knowledge, recorded by contemporary sources. It's calculated from astronomical cycles. 1:35:00: The 120 thing is odd as people continue to live well past that for a long time, if we take the numbers literally. Joseph lives 130 years himself. 2:17:00: Important point: While Christ did say to buy a sword, Peter then said "here are two swords" and he said "that will be enough". It's a bit humerous really. There were at least 12 people there (Judas had left, remember). Further, when Peter used one of those, Christ said "enough" and healed the slave's ear. The point in that passage was more to give the people with Judas an excuse, at least in my reading. 2:27:00: This derives from Leviticus 19, as hinted at: verse 28 (from an interlinear form) "And Ccttings for the dead you shall not make in your flesh and marks or tatoos upon you I am the Lord." It's possible to interpret that as tatoos or marks FOR THE DEAD. I'm not enough up on Hebrew to know how viable that interpretation is. But if we take it as to the fact that the dead are raised, one should in no way alter their self for the dead as they are not dead but are alive in him.

Concerning hardening and softening Moses’ heart. Think of Gods presence like warmth. Pharaoh’s personal decisions weren’t receptive to god and therefore his heart was akin to clay. Moses’s personal decisions had led to a heart made of wax. Therefore when the warmth of god was applied, pharaoh was hardened and Moses was softened.
