TORAH

exodus

 

chapter 10

Now a little more mockery.

Vs. 2: … how I made a mockery of the Egyptians. EQ.

The plan was to fuck Egypt up for generations to come. The Israelites were done being fuckin’ slaves. They would kill until they had their own land.

Which eventually became the truth.

Even now, thousands of years later, they love their killing.

Nothing written is the truth.

Madmen subjectivity.

The story goes. Moses warned Pharaoh that the next attack was with countless locusts.

The Pharaoh is getting board with all the terror and consents to let all the Hebrew men go off in the desert.

“No. Everyone and everything.”

Vs. 9: Moses replied, “We will all go, young and old: we will go with our sons and daughters, our flocks and herds; for we must observe the Lord’s festival. EQ.

Pharaoh knew, like any six year old would, the buggers didn’t intend to go out for a few days then wander back to slavery.

So down come the locusts.

Vs. 14: Locusts invaded all the land of Egypt and settled within all the territory of Egypt in a thick mass, EQ.

Vs. 16: so that nothing green was left, of tree or grass of the field, in all the land of Egypt. EQ.

Again, the Pharaoh tells Moses and Aaron he was wrong, they were right. Please make the locusts go away. They said fine, but if you don’t let us go, next comes three days of night.

Vs. 21: … a darkness that can be touched. EQ.

Vs. 23: People could not see one another, and for three days no one could get up from where he was; but all the Israelites enjoyed light in their dwellings. EQ.

So how does that work. Was a big black blanket dropped on Egypt and only the Israelites had candles. The Egyptians had missed out on the discovery of fire. Has anyone ever stopped to question how absurd this fuckin’ horror story is. Anyone. Fuck.

Pharaoh then agrees to let the Israelites go but not the flocks. And that ain’t good enough for Moses and Aaron.

Vs. 26: - not a hoof shall remain behind: for we must select from it for the worship of the Lord our God; and we will not know with what we are to worship the Lord until we arrive there. EQ.

Again, the Pharaoh tells Moses to go fuck himself. Next time he saw Moses, he would die.

Moses gave him the finger and pranced out.


chapter 11

This is far out.

Many writers wrote this book. And failed to consort with one another before slapping it all together. Maybe it was planned that many things are slaughtered several times, but it seems very sloppy. All the animals are dead and even if they weren’t, they would starve to death and still they are to be slaughtered again.

Vs. 5: and every first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sits on his throne to the first-born of the slave girl who is behind the millstones, and all the first-born of the cattle. EQ.

Which only seems fair.

But let’s back up to another absurdity.

Vs. 2: “Tell the people to borrow each man from his neighbor and each woman from hers, objects of silver and gold.” 3. The Lord disposed the Egyptians favorably toward the people. Moreover, Moses, himself was much esteemed in the land of Egypt, among Pharaoh’s courtiers and among the people. EQ.

Right. Happy to have their land destroyed. Happy to lose all their livestock and have a river of blood, dead fish, rotting frogs and their children murdered. Of course they think suddenly, after hundreds of years finding the Hebrews abhorrent, that they are people of highest rank. Esteem.

Vs. 8: Then all these courtiers of yours shall come down to me, saying, ‘Depart, you and all the people who follow you!’ EQ.

Get the fuck out and stay the fuck out you murdering thieving maniacs.


chapter 12

Blood bath.

If you want a massacre to function smoothly, it has to be well planned. And you might want to take the opportunity, shortly before slaughtering the oldest son of every family of one whole nation, to.

Make some fucked up rules and rituals to remember the mass murder generations to come.

And praise the fuckin’ War Lord once again for his fine killing technology and technique. And make a calendar while you are at it so you can mark the day.

Passover.

Vs. 6: You shall keep watch over it until the fourteenth day of this month; and all the assembled congregation of the Israelites shall slaughter it at twilight. EQ.

“Take a baby goat or sheep, slaughter it. Follow baking instructions. Smear fresh blood around your door so the mercenaries that I bring don’t kill my future soldiers.”

Said the War Lord.

“Eat the meat quick, people, we got a mess of killin’ in front of us.”

Vs. 11: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and you shall eat it hurriedly; EQ.

In the middle of the night, the Destroyers came with sharp, hard swords. And cut down the first born in every family.

Vs. 14: You shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord throughout the ages; you shall celebrate it as an institution for all time. EQ.

So that they would be remembered as the great first son murderers throughout the ages.

Vs. 17: you shall observe this day throughout the ages as an institution for all time. EQ.

Build a fuckin’ Temple. A few thousand synagogues. A million churches. And mosques. Create with holy words of religious law the unholy trinity of continual war. Make the Federal Reserve Bank. Patent life.

Quick.

Vs. 29 The Lord struck down all the first-born in the land of Egypt, … no house where there was not someone dead. EQ.

After that, the Egyptians paid with their silver and gold and clothes and begged the incestuous children murderers to leave.

So the slaves, six hundred thousand men on foot, plus children. Moreover, a mixed mob, no mention of women, livestock, however and flocks and herds and cats and dogs and who knows what all. We are talking more than 3 million Israelites. Plus their slaves. Walking out of Egypt.

Payment, in full, for 430 years of slavery.

Vs. 32: “Take also your flocks and your herds, as you said, and begone! And may you bring a blessing upon me also!” EQ.

To consecrate this sacred slaughter and winning of a new master and a promise for land, they pranced around demanding circumcision or excommunication.

And all the Hebrews and their slaves did what they were told.

And the Lord marched out the Israelites.

Troop by Troop.
