[14] Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses and said: "There is maybe your brother Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. In fact is venendoti meeting. You will see and rejoice in his heart. [15] You spoke to him and put his mouth the words to say and I will be with you and with him as you speak and will suggest what you should do.
So God suggested to Moses and Aaron, Moses suggests. Which will suggest what to do to Pharaoh, who will order his officers. The officers will look then to the guards, telling the Jews to leave.
This in theory. However, if you've ever played, from small, to the cordless handset, you will understand the situation: God suggested to Moses, "The Jews should be released" at the end they are told "the drunken Debono be leveled," alarmed and begin to spread the voice eye, do not get drunk that most if not planed to take us! "
[16] he will speak to the people for you: he will be a mouth for you and you will do for him in the place of God [17] you keep up this stick, with which you achieve the miracles. "
"Prodigies? Type spells?"
"No. Quite simply, if the Pharaoh did not listen to you using the stick and beat it"
[18] Moses went out, returned to Jethro his father and said, "Let me go and return to my brethren who are in Egypt, to see if they are still alive." Jethro said to Moses: , "Go in peace." [19] The Lord said to Moses in Midian, "Go, return into Egypt, because they are dead who plot against your life." [20] Moses took his wife and children, put them on the donkey and returned to the land of Egypt. Moses also took over the stick of God
"They died and how? But you said you loved all your children the same way?"
"I've filled with love until they exploded. Now to Stop questions and not break. "
[21] The Lord said to Moses:" When you leave to return to Egypt, thou shalt know that the presence of Pharaoh all the miracles that I have put in hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let my people go. [22] Then thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord: Israel is my firstborn son . [23] I say to you: Let my son because he may serve me but you refused to let him go. Here, I will slay your firstborn son. "
This is one of the most important arrows in the quiver of every critic of religion. Let's recap:
- God says he wants to liberate his people (so short, makes preferences)
- God, who is able to make it rain meteors or trigger floods, can not free his people alone and turns to Moses
- It provides instructions and stick to persuade the Pharaoh .... but he himself is to ensure that the Pharaoh is not for yourself, by his own admission
- The purpose of this is to kill a child. God says in summary "I will cause that Pharaoh does not listen to you and that you should kill his son."
- might soften Pharaoh's heart (as it hardens) and everything would be resolved without bloodshed. But no, God wants to have fun.
And this is the book to which our culture would have so much wisdom!
