There exists two versions of the Israelite journey from Egypt. One version, by the Redactor, Priestly, Jahwist, and Elohist sources, begins with Exodus 13:20, Exodus 15:22-23 and 27, Exodus 16:1, Exodus 17:1, Exodus 19: 1-2 and 11, Numbers 10:33, Numbers 11:3, Numbers 11:34 and 35, Numbers 12:16, Numbers 20:1, and ends with Numbers 21:1, 4, 10 through to 20.

I think this means that he reaches out to people who are going to attempt to make the kingdom grow.

  • Geography Matters By Thomas C. Foster: Chapter Summary

    438 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the chapter “Geography Matters”, Thomas C. Foster explains the effect of geography on a story. Geography contributes greatly to themes, symbols, and plot, and most authors prefer to use setting as a general area with a detailed landscape rather than a specific city or landmark. In Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, he does not reveal the actual region of America that the man and boy are traveling in, but describes the mountains and eventual beaches of their path. McCarthy might not have revealed their location because it might ruin the reader’s interpretation of the setting. For example, the pair come across a generic “gap” between mountains and this is a turning point because it confirms the man’s planned path to the south.

    The ten plagues were: the Plague of Blood (God turned all the water in Egypt into blood), the Plague of Frogs (Egypt was overrun with frogs ), the Plague of Lice (Dust was turned into lice), the Plague of Flies, the Plague on Livestock (all animals belonging to the Egyptians died), the Plague of Boils (festering boils broke out on the Egyptian people and their livestock), the Plague of Hail, the Plague of Locusts, the Plague of Darkness (Egypt became totally dark for three days) and the final plague; death of the first born. God instructed Moses that if the Israelites wished to remain unharmed from the final plague, a lamb must be sacrificed and its blood must be utilised to mark their doorframes. This allowed God to “pass over” their homes and spare them from the dreadful plague and it is also how the festival received its name. On the whole, the splendid festival known as Passover possesses a profound, rich and fascinating history which commemorates the biblical story of Exodus, when Hebrew slaves were released from bondage in
