A parasha of great change. At its opening slavery is affecting all of the main characters - Moses, the Children of Israel, and in a major way, Pharaoh. Pharaoh is taken to task by God through a series of seven plagues and through them Pharaoh resists freeing the slaves. But God is not concerned with Pharaoh freeing the slaves as much as he wishes to bring Pharaoh into unawareness of his iniquity. And by the end of the seventh plague, Pharaoh gets there. In this episode we examine the considerable change that Pharaoh goes through and in light of that the shift that occurs in Moses and the Children of Israel towards freedom.
