Literally wrote a book this year on exactly why you SHOULD start at the beginning and read it through. Listen, literature is hard. Don’t expect the Bible to magically be easy because it’s the Bible.

All that to say, Paul’s constant message to people in societally ensconced positions of privilege was, “Listen, buddy, if you use your power for anything other than self-sacrificial care of socially weaker parties, you’re in for a world of hurt.”

So what’s up with Pharaoh’s hard heart? It’s not a incorrect translation, per se, but we’re overfamiliar with the phrase. We miss the intricacy of what the author of Exodus is doing. Another 🧵 (Sorry not sorry). 1/6

Now what, exactly, the staff became is lost to history. But at a literary level, the author of Exodus is making a powerful statement. Yahweh holds dominion even over the mythical monsters of the waters, and he’s implying that Pharaoh is no better than those monsters.

Aaron’s staff doesn’t become a snake (Hebrew naḥash). It becomes a legendary serpentine beast (tanin). It’s the word used in Genesis to describe the denizens of the deep. The great Leviathan is a tanin. Dragons are taninim.

Ezekiel picks up on this centuries later, calling out the Pharaoh then as a “tanin of the seas” who thrashes about in the sea, and whom Yahweh will net, exsanguinate, and leave rotting on the shore.

The Egyptian sorcerers conjure their own taninim, but they’re weak and swallowed whole by Aaron’s. And next we see Pharaoh out in the waters of the Nile—the tanin’s lair. Yahweh turns it all to blood.

One of the most common literary themes in the Bible is God’s preference for the weak over the strong. Youngest over eldest. But as a quiet subtheme, it’s the less-favored wife, the barren mother, the cast-out-concubine who shows true fidelity to Yahweh.

There's a reason every hit worship song sounds the same

(RNS) — A new study found that the most popular worship songs come from a handful of megachurches with a knack for writing pop songs about what God will do for you.

Yahweh’s signs for Moses to give the Hebrew elders were the snake-staff, corrupted flesh, and Nile-water-turned-blood. But before Pharaoh, Moses wasn’t the prophet but the avatar of Yahweh himself. Aaron’s signs were different.
