Ramses, who had interpreted Moses' message as the threat of an assassin or something tangible, is standing guard in his son's room when suddenly, he stops breathing. And there you have it: sorry Ramses, we killed your son! Now you're going to be really excited to free the Hebrews, aren't you?
And indeed.
Because the very next day, Ramses goes to find the country email list Hebrews, whose hiding place, it seems, everyone knew from the beginning. It's a shame. And Ramses arrives, the corpse of his child in his hands, to announce that he is not freeing the Hebrews, no: he is chasing them away. After all that, he wants to be left to his grief. Let the Hebrews go, and end of story. Among the slaves, it is a bit of a celebration (except for those who were not Hebrews, who will have to do all the work of the others: thank God!), while a gigantic crowd of Hebrews leaves the city under the angry gaze of the Egyptians who have lost their children.
It should be noted that Ramses nevertheless pointed out to Moses that this matter was ethically average.
“ Moses,
” “He only killed Egyptian children, you will note. ”
Oh well yes, so that makes it immediately more pleasant.
Ramses wonders if, therefore, if God didn't create all people equal, being racist is sacred. Or if he's just a damn racist.
But in short: the Hebrews set off, guided by Moses, who explained his plan to them. To return to the Promised Land, he knew the way well, since it passed through the rotten lands and then the Red Sea, two places he had crossed when he was exiled. And it was on the other side of the Red Sea, shortly after an easy crossing, that he met the woman who would become his wife. So Moses showed the way. And no, the Hebrews had no problem with rations. All of Egypt would starve, but they had enough to eat for an entire people on the road. Convenient!
Except that meanwhile, Ramses is thinking that, well, whatever. Giving the Hebrews what they wanted wasn't perhaps such a great idea. Now that he sees his son rolled up in a sock and locked in a matryoshka doll too, he's a little grumpy. So, quick! Let's arm tanks! 1,000 at least! And let's have a whole army go after the Hebrews and beat them all up, because shit's over in the end!
Ramses is fast, Ramses is furious, but Ramses takes a little while to catch up with the Hebrews who are several days ahead. Except that during this time, Moses didn't lead the Hebrews very well, since when he learned that Ramses was in pursuit, he hurried, messed up a bit, plus he didn't have his GPS and the tourist map wasn't to scale. As a result, he led everyone to the coast, yes, but not to the right place to cross the Red Sea.
How can you worship a God who kills children?
