Blame Pharaoh Not the Egyptians

Alice was in full flow at bed time.

“I don’t like the story of Abraham. If someone asked me to kill my child to show that I loved them I would say no. It’s like if Megan (close friend) asked me to punch someone or else she wouldn’t be my friend anymore I would say ‘well I don’t want to be you friend.’ I mean Abraham nearly killed that toddler.”

I agreed. Alice continued.

“And the lamb thing...” I asked for clarification “ Y’know where the Israelites killed a lamb and marked their doors so the Angel of Death would not visit them at Passover. I don’t agree with that either. I am sure that some of the Egyptians were nice to the Israelites and didn’t agree with slavery at all. Why should God kill them”

In a world full of madness and distortion she had uttered the truth. Blame Pharaoh not the Egyptians
