The Ten Commandments! The big rules! We finally get to find out what God's top ten priorities are, and he comes all the way down to Earth (Mt. Sinai) to do it. He's got some weird rules for it, but Moses and his people navigate it effectively. Sorry Luke talks a lot on this one, there's a lot of info dumping to get through (ten commandments and all that) and Alex and Nic don't carry their weight.

We pick up with the gang in the desert, no longer hungry but still very thirsty. Moses cajoles water from a rock, and his father in law teaches him how to organize his phrophet-hood into an actual government and religion by establishing a middle management. Also, Alex publicly apologizes to our past guests for an unknown reason.

We speculate on all things mana; where it is from, what it tastes like, what it could be and if we would be happy or grossed out by it. Noah recites Miriam's death metal classic, and we begin our journey out into the desert.

We get to a big milestone in the Bible, the story of the parting of the Red Sea. We get a glimpse into God's military strategy, and get a theophany with a bonus angel. We discuss the terror of God for the first time in a while, and some of the more minor details often glossed over in the story of the Red Sea crossing.

We celebrate Passover, as the Israelites finally manage to escape slavery with the help of God's divine hand. God lays out some dietary restrictions, and a few ideas for a holiday he wants his people to start celebrating. Noah and Nic take over reading on this episode to prove they have Bibles and can read.

This episode is cut short because Alex had plans at 9, so if you were hoping for your allotted 1 hour of rambling you can play this on half speed. We only read one chapter as a result, but its still a good one, and its two more plagues, if anyone thought it couldn't get worse.

EDIT: I had to reupload this episode because of some technical issues. The last one was for some reason only 30 minutes, so if you listened to that already, sorry, now you can relisten to it.

We talk about frogs and fleas. Daniel joins us.

I would have named this episode something else based on the unanimous thematic take-away discussed towards the end, but I am not allowed to. We sadly have to read some begats, but Alex takes some shortcuts to avoid most of it for you all. Max's recording drops very early in the episode, so I tried to cut in such a way that it isn't super weird for us to be talking to an invisible voice. Moses begins the ten plagues of Egypt, involving snakes and blood.

We read the story of Moses and the burning bush, and obviously talk about all of the various interpretations that go along with "talking to a burning bush". We read more receipts, and Moses gets recruited to lead a slave revolt. We are sadly not joined by any guests. If you want to be one email us. Also God tries to kill Moses???

We talk about midwives for way too long on this episode and fall into a googling hole. More importantly, we finally start the second book of the bible, Exodus, and Luke does an extremely long powerpoint presentation that only the guests can see (sorry audience) about what to expect in Exodus and what kind of historical context to include in our expectations for the book. We are joined by Cassidy, our original number 1 fan and early guest for the christening of a new book of the bible.
