1 | Was Moses and Aaron's request reasonable | Exodus | ronscarpet | 18936 | ||
Do you think that Moses and Aaron's request to let Israel go into the desert to hold a festival was reasonable? Why | ||||||
2 | Was Moses and Aaron's request reasonable | Exodus | glory777 | 18954 | ||
ronscarpet- I think there might have been some duplicity in the request. First, if they were away under the pretext of holding a festival, it would have bought them some time. Secondly, Egypt had different gods that were worshipped and the way they were worshipped were vastly different then the way the Jews worshipped the Lord. Pharoah was considered a god to the Egyptians and to worship Jehovah would have been an affront to the Egyptians. This is just conjecture and I may be wrong, but it could be possible. I do know that the Egyptians didn't think much of sheep (Joseph told his brothers to tell Pharoah that they were cattlemen, remember?) and to see sheep being sacrificed could have caused some problems, even having sheep in the area of the Egyptians could have caused difficulties.

3 | Was Moses and Aaron's request reasonable | Exodus | DLD | 19112 | ||
This was the message God told Moses to take to the King of Egypt, Exodus 3:18; 5:1-3; 8:27. This was more than a request from Moses, it was a command from God. It was not unreasonable but His plan to free His people from Egypt. |

After checking into this a little further, I found that cows were held as sacred to the Egyptians and it would have been an affront to them to have a cow sacrificed. Debbie |

This is the very point that Moses made to Pharoah (Exodus 8:25-32 esp vvs 26-27) and was added reason why Pharoah should let the people of Israel go as God had commanded. Before the last plague Pharoah said the people could go, but leave their flocks and herds behind, Exodus 10:24-26 this was not acceptable. Finally Pharoah yielded completely (Exodus 12:30-33) |
