The Israelites were forced to build a corrupt state for the king of Egypt. There are many callbacks to the book of Genesis. These callbacks are showing that the children of God are being forced to make the world what it was during the time of Babel.

In Exodus chapter 1 we see the Jewish people characterizing the pharaoh as either very brutal or very incompetent. It is most likely that they believed he was both this polemic is designed to show the pharaoh as someone who is extremely brutal without reason towards the people of God and someone who does not have as much power as the people of God.

In this episode we talk about the polemic that pharaoh is weaker than the Jewish people. Even though the pharaoh is king he is afraid of his servants this is A humorous argument to make the point that pharaoh is not a good king and has no power or authority.

In this season we will remove the intro and Outro from each episode to make sure that they are one minute long. This season will cover the second book of the Bible known as Exodus. Each episode will be one minute of commentary on sections of the book of Exodus to help you better understand the whole book by looking at its parts.

Hey everyone, this season will be a little different. According to the statistics you love one Minute Bible commentary but hate long introductions (as do I). This season I’ll be adding information to the episode description instead of having an introduction. It will look like this but be information about the podcast episode or some further details. In this episode you hear my sick voice. Don’t worry I will recover. That being said I have scripts for chapters one to ten but have not begun recording. I will do all I can to have everything ready to go as soon and possible. Until then God bless you and may the peace of The LORD be with you!

This is an episode that I neglected to release but meant to where I discuss Jacob heading out to meet his older brother Esau for the first time since he cheated him over 20 years ago. (Music courtesy of https://www.bensound.com & https://www.motionarray.com)
