Pharaoh hardens his heart (or, sometimes God hardens it for him), and more plagues are on the way! We discuss the logistics of 4 trillion frogs emerging from a blood river and how many times the animals are killed
Pharoah's magic men replicate God's miracles, so it's time for plagues! We talk about the plot holes in plague number one.
Moses and Aaron make their way back into Egypt, armed with some unusual miracles that God is only kinda sure will work
Moses survives his childhood and hears from God! Or god's representative. It's not super clear.
We made it out of Genesis and now begin the long process of making it out of Egypt!
So much blessing drama and magic!
What are the ethics of creating a famine to get what you want? And then charging people for food you could provide them for free?
So much back and forth and excess drama from Joseph!
Joseph has a flair for drama and the multi-chapter saga of goading his brothers begins!
One of the many times that God puts people in terrible situations for no apparent reason
This story always makes me a little uncomfortable, but we dig into the politics of potifar and his wife
I had forgotten how insufferable Joseph was, but how cruel his brothers were!
Does the Bible say that sex work is ok? Or is it just bad when women do it?
Sorry in advance for all the foreskin talk!
The complex process of acquiring a wife, or several, in the ancient near east
Is playing favorites acceptable behavior? And why is getting a blessing from your dad so important anyway?
The treatment of women is wild in this one, and this upends the "biblical" idea of marriage being just one man and one woman
