...Torah deliberately links these two societies and passes judgment on both. The new pharaoh begins by bringing his cause to the Egyptian people, making the following pitch: 'Look, the Israelite people are much too numerous for us. Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, so that they may not increase; otherwise, in the event of war, they may join our enemies in fighting against us and go up from the land' (Ex. 1:9-10). As presented in the text, the pharaoh's logic is hard to discern. His solution to the problem of Israel's burgeoning population is persecution and enslavement, rather than expulsion or genocide (Ex. 1:11). If they are too many, why not just kill them? Pharaoh does eventually order the killing of all the male babies born to the Hebrews, but only after his first policy prescription results in an Israelite population boom (Ex. 1:12, 16). Furthermore, if the Israelites represent a potential fifth column, why is Pharaoh afraid that they will leave the land? He should welcome their departure. Slavery, in and of itself, is not a reliable form of birth control. Nor does it engender the loyalties of the subjected population. Perhaps population control and national security were not Pharaoh's true aims. He was able to justify his subjugation of the Israelites with this pretext, but the lack of logic in his reasoning suggests that his...

...The Israelites were of the Hebrew religion and live around 13th century BCE. They were from Israel and came to Egypt with Jacob, each with his household. The Israelites were enslaved by Pharaoh because Pharaoh feared that there were too many Israelites and if they kept multiplying and a war was to fall upon the Egyptians the Israelites could join the enemies of the Egyptians and fight against them and possibly escape from the land. The Egyptians were the people of Egypt and they served under the Egypt King, who was King Pharaoh. Pharaoh was a new King and he did not know Joseph. Pharaoh had great concern about the Israelite people multiplying and possibly taking over Egypt in case on war. Therefore he was a very cruel king and worked the Israelites very hard. He made them serve with rigor and made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and brick, and in all kinds of work in the field; in all their work they were made to serve in rigor. Pharaoh killed the male born children of the Hebrew women out of his on going fear and concern for them growing strong and mighty in numbers. He tried to get the midwives to kill the male babies at birth but the midwives very uniquely disobeyed Pharaoh therefore he ordered the sons to be cast into the Nile. God found favor on the midwives for not following Pharaoh's orders in killing the babies. God came to Moses and told him go back and speck to your people and tell them it's time ...

...when he was trying to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. The things that made Moses successful were six things that were install abilities and was anointing. Third is his sacrifice. Fourth is his wisdom. Fifth is he is very confidence. An last his humility. (ex. 12:28) So you see this journey Moses had was making him become one of the most humble leader of his time. A leader communication God instructs his people You hear a lot about in a relationship that there is no communication. Well it’s the same thing as trying to become a leader. Without the ability to communicate a leader goes on a dark long path by himself. You will never get an vision unless you grab it an put it in his or her heart. God did just that when explain to the Hebrews families how they could save the life of their first born sons. (ex 12:3-23) Attitude: My way or the highway!!!!! Pharaoh thought it did. Not only did he rule with absolute power, he also displayed his true arrogance. Pharaoh revels his arrogant character, through his defiant response to Moses request that he let his people go. But Pharaoh Pride led to arrogance, and his arrogance lead to rigidity. His heart became stone cold and hard. You know that really should have been a song. “ My way or the highway” Because the Israelites had a chance it was either his way or the highway, which they chose the highway. Moses need it help Have you ever seen anybody that won anything by themselves? No! No leader can thrive without teammates. Moses...

...How can I resist peer pressure? “At school you’re faced with so much—smoking, drugs, sex. You know that what the kids want you to do is stupid. But you get to this point where you feel you just can’t chicken out.”—Eve Its natural to want to be accepted by others. Peer pressure play on that desires. For example, if you’re being raised as a Christian, you know that such things pre-marital sex and alcohol abuse are wrong. (Galatians 5:19-21) Many of your peers, though, urge you to join them in these activities. Have they thought about those matters and made their own decision? Not likely. By and large, they “He that is walking with wise persons will become wise, but He that is having dealings with the stupid ones will fare badly.” -Proverbs 13-20 have yielded to the influence of others. They want to be accepted, so they allow others to shape what they believe. Do you? Or do you have the courage to stand up for your convictions? Moses’ brother, Aaron, gave in to pressure- at least in one instance. When the Israelites surrounded him and urged him to make a god for them, he did just what they told him to do! (Exodus 32:1-4) Imagine-this was the man who had confronted Pharaoh, boldly declaring God’s message to him. (Exodus 7:1,2,16) But when his fellow Israelites poured on the pressure Aaron caved in. Evidently he found it easier to stand up to the king of Egypt than to stand up to his peers! What about you? Do you find it hard to stand up for what to know...

...Laurel Dorris Term Paper Part 1: Assignment Grand Canyon University Noahic Covenant: I Peter 3:19-22 “19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. 21 There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.” The Noahic Covenant represented here is that if Noah would be faithful and build an ark with the measurements that God gave him, He would save Noah and his family when he destroyed the Earth. In the New Testament, these verses are saying that just like God destroyed the Earth with water but saved Noah and his family, he also destroys our sin but saves us with water in the form of baptism. He destroyed the Earth in Noah’s day by flood because sin was running rampant and the people weren’t listening and were not repenting and turning back to God like He wished they would so He would not have to destroy the Earth. In the same way, we were a sinful people and did not repent and realize our sins like we should without being baptized and having Jesus pay for our sins. The water is a very symbolic form of cleansing...

Judaism and Hellenistic culture The period when Greek culture was at its peak of spread is termed as the Hellenistic Period. The Jewish community formed a group that had this impact in place with a shift on some activities being carried out. Such included; social transformation that occurred amongst the Jewish societies in the world in language, culture and philosophy and the way of life. Hellenism began long time ago even during the reign of King Solomon when he resolved to employ Phoenician Architecture in association with the Syrian house plans in the construction of the temple in the pre-exilic times. King Ahaz as well had built an altar that was similar to the one that he had seen in Damascus. However, all this happened in the Old Testament times but there also came a time, usually referred to as the Temple Period when the Jewish integration in Hellenistic lifestyle was manifested in language,...

...The Jews that were disbursed to the West were called Hellenists which means they were to conform to the Greek language and customs. Most of the Jews in the West were craftsmen, traders, and merchants that were on the move and not able to form a long-term community. For this cause they were more secular and less religious which was influenced by their adoption of Greek culture and philosophy. In contrast, the Jews to the east were more community oriented and sought to keep their spiritual identity. They studied the law under the rabbis and were not influenced by the Greek culture. The Western Jews were drawn to Grecianism by its refined elegance and profound substance that permeated every aspect of life. They were challenged to defend...

...they were allowed to. Jews during this time were granted the ability to run there own country. One event that is very important in this time period is when the Greeks wanted to translate the Torah. The Torah is the law of God as announced to Moses and it is the Jewish people's most important writing. The Torah is composed of the five Books of Moses. Many Jewish writers because to replicate the Torah in Greek language. This process of completely rewriting the Torah, by hand, is an extremely lengthy and tedious operation. "It took a long time, of course, for Judaism, under the influence of cosmopolitan Hellenism, to rise to the highest altitudes of Greek intellectual life, and to recast its own world-conceptions in the molds of Greek philosophy. " (Overview) Some of the Greek people actually adored the things written in the Mosaic laws. The expansion of monotheism grew during this Hellenistic time. Greeks took up the monotheistic lifestyle instead of worshiping their multiple gods. Once this started happening Jewish people started making associations with Greek people. "The strictness of the Mosaic law on the issue of adultery and homosexuality agreed with many Greek philosophers and movements of the contemporary and yesteryear." (The Jewish) Although there was some positive interaction between the Jews and the Greeks, there was also negative. Not only to the Jewish people individually but the entire Jewish religion.

...Jewish Holidays James Morales REL/134 August 27, 2012 Joseph Becker Jewish Holidays This essay will be on Yom Kippur, the historical origins of the Jewish holiday, what time of year the holiday is celebrated, and what religious practices are associated with the holiday. Yom Kippur is better known as The Day of Atonement, a day to repent or to make right the wrong done to God for the past year. Yom Kippur is considered the most sacred of all Jewish Holidays. Historical Origins Of The Day The Kohen Gadol (high priest) entered the Holy of Holies at the temple to perform rituals of purification for the temple. The Kohen Gabdol went through many rituals to be free of any evil or wrong doings, in order to not bring these things into the temple. The high priest would have two animals chosen, one would be sacrificed through fire, and the second animal would be kept alive. Through prayer and laying of hands on the second animal the high priest would transfer the evil and wrong doings of the people to the animal. Then the animal would be sent off to the wilderness removing all evil and wrong doings for the past year. Yom Kippur as a holiday changed after the second temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans in 70 C.E., the holiday is a little more familiar to this passage. The Lord said to Moses, “The tenth day of this seventh month is the day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourself, and present an offering made to the Lord by fire. Do not work on that day...

...The Most Important Jewish Holy Day: Yom Kippur REL/134 February 28, 2012 The Most Important Jewish Holy Day: Yom Kippur The Holy Day of Yom Kippur is widely considered to be the most important of Jewish Holy Days. Yom Kippur translates to “Day of Atonement,” and is many times observed by even the most secular of Jews (Malloy and Hilgers 2010). It is observed on the tenth and final day of a period that begins with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. These 10 days are referred to as The Days of Awe. According to Jewish law, on Rosh Hashanah, God inscribes the names of the righteous in His book of life and declares the evil to death; people who fall between righteous and evil have until Yom Kippur to repent. As a result, observant Jews consider Yom Kippur and The Days of Awe a time for prayer, donations, community service, reflection on the past, and making amends with others ("Atonement, Day Of",2010). “...In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and you shall not do any work ... For on that day he shall provide atonement for you to cleanse you from all your sins before the L-RD” (Leviticus 16:29-30). Yom Kippur is observed on the tenth day of Tishri, the seventh month of the Jewish year. Tishri occurs in September and October of the Gregorian Calendar. The traditions of Yom Kippur begin on the eve, just before the sun sets, with a fast that will last for the next 25 hours. During the fast, it is expected that...
