Bible Club: Exodus

So it just summed up what you already thought? Don't we have a name for that? When you're reading these stories do any alarm bells go off that maybe there's some type of "moral to the story," other than summing up your preconceived notions?

What abstract moral do you think we should draw from the Exodus story? That the just thing to do if a country has an evil dictator is unleash destruction on the populace?

You can't even draw the moral that God will look after his own, since this immediately begs the question of why an omnipotent God allowed his chosen people to become enslaved in the first place. Taking a siesta, maybe.
