Exodus 1-3
- Update: who came first, Joseph or Moses? Joseph did. Evidently, Joseph brought the Israelites into Egypt, and Moses is gonna take them out.
- Jacob's people have been going at it like rabbits, it seems. New Pharaoh said "oh heck no- salve status for all of you." And just to further prove what a jerk he is, he wants all the baby boys drowned. Poor babies. Poor Moms, too. I couldn't imagine having to do that. And thus starts "The Prince of Egypt."
- The Prince of Egypt lied!!!
- Moses knew he was a Hebrew the whole time, and he was not rescued by Pharaoh's wife, but his daughter. This is not the way I expected this story to go. After Moses leaves the royal house, I'm a little fuzzy about what happens in the story until he goes back to Egypt to face the Pharaoh, as per the movie.
- There was a covenant with Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob... A fellow I work with says they're basically promises between God & the men, and sort-of favors, represented by a physical reminder/representation (marriage rings are similar in that they're a physical reminder of the vows a husband and wife make to each other). Note to self: look up the Arc of the Covenant- does it relate in any way?
- Moses just spoke to God through the burning bush and man, when God wants a thing done, He makes it happen. He also doesn't hold back when passing out punishment, in impoverishing the Egyptians. Also, Moses doesn't feel confidant or worthy of being chosen to do something so great, and isn't that interesting because how many people feel like that daily, constantly? How many times have I felt like I wasn't suited or capable of some task that I had to take up that others knew and had complete faith in my capabilities to complete whatever they gave me to do? How many times has God called me to do something in my life that I didn't think I could face, but He knew that I could, and I did because He wanted me to?
