readx;? Moses, because of his kinship with Pharaoh, was able to meet with the Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II and ask for permission for the Israelites to leave Egypt and return to Canaan, which was also a dependency of Ramses II at this time, and this relocation was a domestic relocation and should normally be permitted. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 But because of the monotheistic beliefs of the Israelites, Ramses II not only did not allow it, but also abused the Israeli people in Bengali and warned Moses.

When Moses' request was denied, he began to be discouraged and disappointed, but God's heart was strengthened by repeated prophecies. Moses (representing Jehovah) and Pharaoh's magicians engaged in a fierce confrontation (as today's mission calls it, a confrontation of spiritual forces).

Jehovah will punish Pharaoh for his hardness and prove that he alone is the true God by means of calamity, so that the Israelites may know God's mighty works. God sent ten plagues until the Egyptians were subjugated, especially the killing of the firstborn, and he commanded the Israelites to keep the Passover so that they might put the blood of the lamb on the doorpost, so that God's judgment might pass over the house of the Israelites and not fall on them. The Israelites were to keep this feast for generations to remember God's saving work.

Ten Calamities:

The first plague, the Plague of the Nile Turning Blood (against the false gods of Egypt), in which the waters of the Nile turned red, lasted for 7 days. Pharaoh's heart was hardened and he did not take it to heart.

The second plague, the plague of frogs (against a false god with a frog's head, it is offensive to kill frogs in Egypt) lasts for two days. Pharaoh still hardened his heart and ignored it.

The third plague, the plague of lice (for GEB), lasts for one day. Pharaoh's heart was hardened.

The fourth plague, the plague of flies (against RA), lasted for two days. Pharaoh hardened his heart again.

The fifth plague - the plague of animals (for apis, the Egyptians also worshipped animals, and apis was the black bull they worshipped), a plague of livestock, which lasted for two days. Pharaoh was mentally stubborn. If the previous catastrophe did not cause actual economic damage, starting with the fifth, it began to cause huge economic losses.

The sixth plague, the plague of sores (Egypt required that the priests there must be clean, and priests were not allowed to enter the temple with sores), lasted for one day. Pharaoh's heart is hardened.

The seventh plague, hail and fire (against ISIS), lasted one day and caused huge losses in agriculture. Pharaoh and his servants hardened their hearts.

The eighth plague, the plague of locusts (also found in the book of Revelation and Joel), lasted for one day and caused great losses in agriculture. Pharaoh's heart is hardened.

The Ninth Plague - Three Days of Darkness (against the Egyptians who worshipped the sun god Ra), three days in a row when the sun did not come out (or was obscured by clouds). The Egyptian people panicked. But Pharaoh's heart remained hardened.

The tenth plague - the killing of the firstborn (the Lord slew all the firstborn of Egypt, from the crown prince to the firstborn of the prisoners, and the firstborn of livestock), which lasted for one day. Ramses II finally panicked and summoned Moses: "Do as you say."

Ramses II was frightened and caused him to let the Israelites go.

The Israelites had no experience in warfare, they were a rabble of two million men, women, and children. God was sensitive to their weaknesses and feared that they would be discouraged at the first sight of the enemy, so he deliberately took them on a detour, and then led them with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, so that they could be at peace day and night, and they could see God's presence again. In fact, Moses was leading the Israelites as God's spokesman to evade the possible pursuit of Pharaoh's army.

Moses' fears were not unfounded, for the capricious Pharaoh Ramses II began to regret the Israelites' departure and sent an army to pursue them to the seashore on the edge of the Red Sea. When there was no way out, God used his power to cause the Israelites to cross the Red Sea (the Red Sea is the Gulf of Suez as we call it, a strait from which the Red Sea extends), and the Egyptians chased them to the middle of the strait and were drowned.

Moses sang a song of remembrance in praise of God's work.

If we want to explain it from a scientific point of view, we need to consider the geographical location at the time. The Israelites crossed the sea from the upper reaches of the Gulf of Suez, where the Red Sea extended into Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula (the two were connected at the time, but later separated by the Suez Canal).

Tsunamis are characterized by the separation of sea waters (or large-scale retreat) and then compounding.

At that time, there was a possibility of a large-scale earthquake or volcanic activity around the Indian Ocean, and huge waves swept through the Gulf of Suez, which is a shallow area, and the sea water was affected by the tsunami, which first experienced a large-scale retreat, but soon after, the shock wave of the tsunami arrived. At that time, Moses led the people of Israel to seize this very short time, and under the pursuit of Pharaoh's army, they had to pass through the Gulf of Suez lightly and quickly. The Pharaoh's army, which followed, was struck by the tsunami and wiped out.

Perhaps the Israelis would not have been in a hurry to pass if the Pharaoh's army had not pursued so closely. If the journey is slowed down, it will be the people of Israel who will suffer the catastrophe. It is highly likely that the sea at that time was not separated, but the sea water retreated sharply from the Gulf of Suez to the Red Sea.

But in any case, even from a modern point of view, this is a miraculous thing, and we have to think that the people of Israel are blessed by God.

Because of this great miracle, the entire nation of Israel feared and obeyed God, and the whole people were truly converted to God, Jehovah. Moses sang praises of God's greatness, and his sister Miriam led all the women to make peace.

From about the year Jacob settled in Lower Egypt, marking the beginning of Israel's division from the Hebrews, until the year the Israelites crossed the Gulf of Suez in the Red Sea, and the Israelites lived in Egypt for 430 years.

Although it has left Egypt proper, the Sinai Peninsula remains a dependency of Egypt.

Due to the power of Egypt during the reign of Ramses II, even Canaan (Palestine), where Moses wanted to go, was a dependency of Egypt, and even Syria further north became the place where Egypt was at war with the Hittites. So you can't go to any of these places.

In fact, the Israelites had nowhere to go, and it was not until forty years later, around the time of the death of Ramses II, that Egypt's power declined and the parts of Canaan (Palestine) began to become independent, and the Israelites finally had the opportunity to return to Canaan.
