God’s answer to Moses concludes our portion:Īnd God said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh, that with a strong hand will he release them, and with a strong hand will he expel them from his land.” (Exodus 6:1)Īnd now the process of deliverance is underway. Moses asks the timeless question of the problem of evil: why do the innocent suffer and why do the guilty prosper? Could the Israelites have sinned? Or, are they suffering to make them deserving of greater reward, as it says, In order to afflict you and in order to try you, so as to benefit you in your end (Deuteronomy 8:16)? Could the Egyptians possibly be entitled to some reward for some good they have done? Or, are they being prepared for greater punishment later? Moses Receives An Explanation Rabbenu Chananel (11 th century Tunisian commentator) further asserts that Moses is asking so that he may understand to what end God is allowing this evil to occur. Moses is asking for understanding and guidance.
Instead, their sufferings increase! Moses declares: I do not understand why this has happened, neither do I know what to say to the Israelite officers, nor why I was chosen to be the agent of greater suffering. But, Moses thought that the process leading to redemption would at least begin now, gradually, with some relief of the slaves’ plight. Ibn Ezra (12 th century Spanish commentator) argues that Moses knows Pharaoh will not agree without miracles and plagues (as has been foretold in 3:19 and 4:21), so he is not surprised that Pharaoh does not relent immediately. Not all of them accept Rashi’s critical reading, that Moshe is questioning the ways of God, for which he is punished. Moses’s words are the subject of some discussion among the commentaries.
The Hebrews’ situation has never been so bleak.Īnd Moses returned to God and said, “Lord, why have You done badly to this people? Why is it that You sent me? For, from the time that I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, it has been bad for your people, nor have You saved Your people” (5:22-23).
The officers complain to Moses and Aaron, and call upon God to judge between them. The slaves are unable to keep up with the workload, and the Hebrew officers are beaten on the slaves’ account. In Sunday Trip, players drive through a level in an attempt to reach the finish line as fast as possible.The Egyptian taskmasters impose this rule on the Hebrew officers, who pass it on to the Hebrew slaves. Evergreen Ride sees players going as far as they can without falling into water. Players can also collect pictures, which tell the story of the two main characters. Along the way, players have to pick up fuel in the form of small circular pellets to avoid stopping. Tapping below the car makes it jump, which can be used to jump on platforms and over water. In Bumpy Road, players navigate a car through an endless stage by tapping the ground, which creates hills and moves the car. His family mourns him, and eventually they give his four-year-old son his harmonica. He later goes off to war, where he presumably dies. The child grows up and meets a girl, whom he marries. The couple has a baby, to whom they give their harmonica. The two soon fall in love, buying a car and getting married. The story begins at a cafe, where a waiter slips a girl a note asking her on a date.
