In most of OT it doesn't seem like Israelites were monotheist the way Christians are nowadays. They acknowledged that other gods exist - just Jahwe was their God (and the best one). As such pharanon's sorcerers obviously had an access to divine. They could do miracles for the same reasons Israelites could. The issue is that their gods were inferior

I love your Easter egg about how, in the original Biblical Hebrew, the sea that was crossed was called Yam Suph ("Sea of Reeds"). While Yam Suph has traditionally been interpreted as referring to the Red Sea, some modern scholars dispute this.

[@clarehidalgo]

They think it was actually a Marsh ~40 miles north of the Red Sea that had a phenomena where the water drained to one side of the marsh under certain wind conditions. Sadly it was destroyed when they built the Suez Canal

[@orbracha25]

Wait, what other sea do they think it could be? The only two major bodies of water between Egypt and Canaan are the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, the latter of which not leading to any desert except the ones already within the land of Canaan. It can't be the Dead Sea or the Sea of Galilee, as they later cross the Jordan River, which connects those two so it would make no sense, and the Great Bitter Lakes weren't filled with water until the 20th century so definitely not those.

In popular media Moses is always this charismatic leader when in reality (or the story) he was far away from it. It's shame that Hollywood tends to oversymplify stories this way. Just like they always use tall people as action heroes while a short guy being able to defeat dudes bigger than him is more exciting

[@funloop]

when I was younger, I was uncomfortable that every time the Pharoah was on the verge of releasing the Israelites God would harden his heart. But it wasn't until much later, and especially this video, that it occurred to me that the Plauges weren't meant to just torment the Egyptians but also send a message to both the Israelites and the people of the desert, which...unfortunately, didn't pan out so well...

[@crispybacon9917]

Actually this is not quite correct, since earlier in the bible pharaoh hardened his heart and God wasn't mentioned. It's not magic that hardened Pharaoh's heart but God's actions, essentially every time God told pharaoh what to do pharaoh did that thing kids do when you tell them to tidy their rooms: "well I'm not doing it now"

[@crazyfroster9489]

So God "hardening" Pharaoh's heart isn't meant to be seen as the active hand of God making Pharaoh say no, but more that Pharaoh became hardened at the power of the Lord due to his own pride. God hardened Pharaoh's heart the same way that sunlight hardens clay, it's moreso the clays natural response to sunlight than the active decision of the sunlight to make the clay harder.

[@hearts285]

​@@crispybacon9917"earlier in the bible pharaoh hardened his heart and God wasn't mentioned" This doesn't make any sense as an argument. Why should God be unable to harden the Pharaoh's heart because the Pharaoh can harden his own heart? The text explicitly says Yahweh hardens the Pharaohs heart over and over. (Exodus 4:21, 7:3, 9:12, 10:1, 10:20, 10:27, 11:10) Indeed, it seems to make a point of emphasizing that without this action, the plagues would have changed the Pharaoh's mind. Or at the very least that the plagues actually are making Pharaoh lean toward relenting, not the opposite as you say. (Exodus 7:21-22, Exodus 8:15, 9:7, 9:34) With all this, you might wonder why Yahweh is doing this. The text answers this several times. (Exodus 7:3-5, Exodus 10:1-2, Exodus 11:9) "I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials in order that I may show these signs of mine among them" In other words, it's a divine show of power. It's true that some other sections seem to imply that the Pharaoh's heart was not hardened by Yahweh and/or that the plagues were actually intended to convince Pharaoh. ("Indeed by a mighty hand he will let them go", Exodus 6:1) It seems that there are multiple traditions with different understandings of this in the text. Possibly, since Yahweh hardens the Pharaoh's heart more explicitly toward the end, the escalating plagues would have eventually convinced Pharaoh before the firstborn deaths, but Yahweh hardened his heart to allow his demonstration of power to reach its climax. I suspect this may be the perspective of the final editors who of course combined the traditions we have into a more or less cohesive whole.

[@birdmcturd1626]

Humans are made in the image of God. So,what happens when humans get powerful? They show off,it goes to our heads and corrupts us. If you read the Bible with the knowledge that this is God’s word and therefore inherently bias,it actually paints the picture that God is just as prideful and power-hungry as humans. The difference being that he has supreme power. My guy can see the future and still fucks things up constantly (Eden being a major example. “Oh,yeah,I’ll throw two gullible idiots,a manipulative snake who wants evil to prevail and a tree that will ruin everything in the same garden. What could go wrong?”). You can only manage that if you’re so prideful that you just think you know better.

[@SovietPupper]

The conceptions behind Exodus were so fascinating in my opinion. These texts were written and orally told during the Henotheistic period of the Israelites. Many other gods are mentioned and attributed to in the OT. We see an example in this video. Miracles, not enacted by God, are performed by the Egyptians. The god of the Israelites was meant to be their supreme god. Only he was worthy of worship in their eyes, but the existence of other gods wasn't denied or disbelieved. This eventually did change though, the faith, not long after, switched to proper monotheism. It's always fascinating to read into it all.

We want out of here!"; and once they were free and Pharaoh caught up to them at the Red Sea, they start saying they'd have been better off staying in Egypt as slaves, in spite of having seen what God can do! Also, for the record, the Pharaoh only made things worse for the Israelites ONCE when Moses and Aaron first came to him and asked for a three day leave.

One of your best videos yet, and with this good of a channel I didn't know it is even possible! Great video as always.

huh, with the parting of the re(e)d sea, i was always taught that one old man had to wade into the water all the way up to his head before the lord parted the sea, not that moses just did some jazz hands and it opened

[@AlexiusScholius]

Amazing. I love both the references to the Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) mythology and the historical giggles about Re(e)d Sea, not to mention making fun of the nonsensical, cruel and inhuman parts of the bible never gets old (can't wait for all these stories in Judges or much sooner, when we go to Joshua and his conquests of Jericho, Ai et cetera). Great work! I hope you enjoy making this series and it shall continue until properly finished! ^^

I’m a Christian and these videos are beyond amazing and accurate 😅 Including the uncomfortable parts that we struggle to understand Thank you for this!!!

That's Jake charms for me he don't try to adapt the story but to showcase how originally crazy they are ( in an educational way regarding interpretation )

Well in Hebrew it is less epic name: shemot (names , because it name some of the most major figures in Judaism in this book)

I love the reference to the theory that God’s plagues are targeted at different Egyptian gods.

[@bendusi1530]

The fact that you posted this in the same week the The Promised Land series dropped on YT is almost... too coincidental... This probably is my favorite story from the Bible bc of how relatable it is to my life. Keep us posted, Jake! I'll be rereading Exodus bc of you!

[@Diamond_sleeps]

THIS IS SO GOOD!! the execution was legitimately beautiful! And the story was portrayed so well!!!!!! Keep up the amazing work ^_^

[@reasmiling3437]

i love these videos because they really get across the point that the prophets were legit just PEOPLE. not high and mighty saints, but anxious, angry, fed-up, desperate people that God used back then and therefore shows us that we too can be used in wonderful ways even though we’re also just average joes. love love love this series and your other mythology videos!!! :)))

[@amemecreator1590]

​@@umdemuitos2005Well , No one around that time was good , even the israeliates who we're supposed to be God's chosen people were so broken that God had to take small steps to unharden their hearts , Pharaoh absolutely enjoyed all the bad things he did and never actually cared for the egyptians Pharaoh was really like that kid who does WORSE when you scold him for his own BAD DOINGS I can't even imagine God thought when he allowed slavery just because the israeliates couldn't live with the idea of not having them , at least they had set out rules to not be absolute torture for them , even Jesus scolded the israelites as God made incomplete laws because their heart was hard

[@BlackCat-hm2sf]

As a Jewish adult, I remember growing up with a nursery rhyme about the 10 plagues; I don't remember most of it, only the end bit, which went: "Frogs, here! Frogs, there! Frogs are jumping everywhere. Even in his underwear!", absolutely hilarious to our child brains XD Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that rhyme was *only* about the frog plague and not about any of the others 🤔

[@Matau228]

The structure and meaning behind the Plagues story is something I haven't found quite yet in any other mythology- showing in a story that your god is powerful enough to not only control the domains of an entire religion's pantheon, but also the hearts of their worshipers. (Though I have also personally always liked the way that the lyrics of The Prince of Egypt's "The Plagues" song suggests that God hardened Pharaoh's heart because Pharaoh himself asked for it, even if there's nothing in Scriptures to back up that interpretation)
