CHAPTERS 1 & 2

Now the Israelites were fruitful and multiplied greatly and became exceedingly numerous. Then a new king said to his people, “The Israelites have become much too numerous for us.” So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor and worked them ruthlessly.

Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Every boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live.”

Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She hid him for three months. But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her slave girl to get it. She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said.

Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?”

“Yes, go,” she answered. And the girl went and got the baby’s mother. Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him.

When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses.

Did you ever see the movie ‘Wholly Moses’ Starring Dudley Moore?................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Never even heard of it.

[Red Badger]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wholly_Moses!

Very funny!....................

[Hebrews 11:6]

I see YouTube has it for rent, so if the Spirit ever moves me....

[etabeta]

#39, 46, 47 for me. Thank you, Dan!

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

You may take them home with you, Alba. Here, let me wrap them up for you....

[Red Badger]

The ‘critics’ hated it.................

[left that other site]

Did You Know?

The Baby Moses in this scene from "The Ten Commandments" was played by Charleton Heston's newborn son? Movie trivia.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Hey there, Mary-Lou!

I tried to keep to a minimum paintings showing blonde Europeans in billowing silk ballgowns, but it's hard to say "No" to PP Rubens.

[left that other site]

#47 has been my favorite for years. :-)

[etabeta]

Very generous of you! You are quite the art collector!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yes, we discussed it last year.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I can imagine they did.

[Red Badger]

Most of the ‘jokes’ are Jewish, ala Mel Brooks and ‘Blazing Saddles’ style. That’s probably why the critics hated it, as Jackie Mason used to say “It’s too Jewish!”. They didn’t have a problem with ‘The Life of Brian’ which was a satire of Christians in the Roman Empire, which came out the year before.................

[Red Badger]

Whenever a ‘critic’ tells me that a movie is ‘terrible’, it usually means I will enjoy it immensely..................

[Hebrews 11:6]

I believe we discussed that last year, also. I was ecstatic at finding a Detail of it this year.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Easy come, easy go....
