Exodus 12-40

Considering all these chapters f exodus chapters 12-40 were really long i realized some really important points:

The first one is that they start with Moses story and there is the Passover which is when a plague passed through all the doors of Egypt this was called the Passover. Then for seven days people couldn’t eat leavened bread. God is very repetitive with this and it is very important to him. I started thinking a very curious thing that now a days it is called “Pesah” and this is a Jewish holiday now a days. So I processed that Pesah stands for Passover. God makes a great emphasize and he says that any person who does not follow this rule shall be put to death which I think it is a very exaggerated thing to say. One detail I also noticed was when he talks about a chandelier, he might be talking about Hanukah.

God is very demanding and picky he is very precise with the details. He is nothing to what they tell us he is like they describe him in the Old Testament. He makes clear that whoever breaks the rules shall die which is a very mean thing to say especially coming from God. He also repeats himself a lot and tells everything twice. He mentions the rules and consequences and establishes them securely. Also he is the one who says “Eye for eye tooth for tooth”. This is a phrase which I don’t agree with. A very important thing is that the 10 commandments are established. He talks about eh altars and the offerings he says to always give him animals etc. I think that is a very classist thing to say. God should not say this type of things he should accept peoples gifts regardless of their value. Maybe this explains why he cursed Cain.
