Decimates your crops

>It wasn't a matter of subverting free will
It is, and it's done purely so God can show off how much better and stronger than the egyptian gods he is.

>Deutoronomy 32:8
>Most High gives Yahweh the people of Israel
By what right did YWHW attack the Egyptians? He only held dominion over one race of people.

Yeah. Listen, he left them because after they escaped a drought in their homeland to Egypt and Jospeh, they could have gone back and take their promised lands in the 20-30 years when it ended.

But since the agreement between their God and their promised land was that they continually observe the law and keep their promise to make their nation in the destined land, he left them when they just stayed in the land of the gentiles.

God's blink of an eye can be 400 years here, or was knowledgeable with his abscence.

But when they went back to look for him, he came back.

God did literally mind control both Pharaoh and later the other Egyptians when he made them give the Jews all their silver and shit.

It isn't because Pharaoh was going to be an ass and God didn't need to subvert his free will to make him act like an ass. It's more akin to taking advantage of what was already present in him to make that example (the act of which is what hardened him against God further)

>He only held dominion over one race of people.
Clearly not!

But Most High only gave YWHW one people. This is a breach of contract.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Honestly, if you read this entire chapter of the bible, you'd sympathize with God. He has to deal with the most ungrateful babies to ever roam the earth, even when he constantly saves them.

>God literally hails fire from the sky, parts the sea, and feeds his people or 40 years, all while protecting them from extinction and actively showing his presence, while leading them to a promised land
>jewish people literally cry and complain every step of the way, unable to go more than 5 minutes without worshipping a false idol

Honestly, if I was God I would've killed those ungrateful babies on the spot. I end an entire egyptian empire to save you brats, and you go off and worship a golden calf? Screw you, I'll throw you into the fire myself you pieces of human filth. It's a testament to how patient he is, at least. I think of that whenever someone says the god of the old testament is a ruthless monster. People deserved worse, trust me.

>40 years
You know, it really shouldn't take 40 years to transport a bunch of kikes from Egypt to Israel. It's not all that far.

It would be extremely painful

you sound like a sociopath

He did plan on making the trip shorter, but they talked about how god didn't do anything and how the golden calf saved them, and how they should go back and worship the new pharaoh because at least they had work. So the extended trip was their punishment.

>Listen Moses?
>You know how you never did anything to displease me?
>I'm making it so you never get to enjoy the reward of the promised land because everyone else was a dick
>Speaking of dicks, you're going to suck mine while Aaron's sons have a feast in the tabernacle

Supposedly it could have been a mistranslation about which God hardened Pharaoh's heart. In some of the older texts it read that Ra the Egyptian sun god hardened his heart, and since he was the closest equivalent to Yahweh in Egyptian culture, someone simply translated both Yahweh and Ra into God.

If it was indeed Ra and not Yahweh, then there was a battle between the Egyptian gods and the Jewish god over who was more powerful.

>Listen Moses?
>you know how I always helped you get through any situation?
>yeah, well I didn't appreciate it when you took credit for creating water and leading people through the desert. also, slamming my commandments down and smashing the tablets wasn't cool either
>so you'll enjoy an eternal reward, but the promised land is a no go for now sorry

People often forget that Moses did alot of dumb things too.

Satan, why are you lying about eternal rewards? Hell is reserved for the kikes.

you're a sacrilegious guy

>Impling that the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe needs to explain Himself.
Read you some Job

Why does everyone sperg about the free will thing with the movie when they changed the context so that it's clearly about Ramses' personal hangups from his upbringing about maintaining his legacy and not being the weak link

>Exodus
>God punishes Ramses for enslaving people

>Leviticus
>God gives the Israelites explicit permission to buy and keep slaves

What did He mean by this?

only enslave and murder those not of the chosen tribe

Job makes sense though, because when you think about it, Job's whole story is one big villain origin waiting to happen. That's why he needed to be tested, because weaker men would've absolutely crumbled, as countless people have even to this day. So may works in fiction have the "sympathetic" hero have some tragic backstory that somehow magically excuses everything he's doing currently, and even real life people try and pull that bullshit to justify their behavior. He's proof that just because life dealt you a rough hand, that doesn't give you an excuse to be a dick/evil about it. Because if Job can make it out intact, so can you.

>Supposedly it could have been a mistranslation about which God hardened Pharaoh's heart.

The Abrahamic dogma upholds that there are no other gods other than their own.
The story is proven to be bogus made up by the Jews. In the end, even if it had accepted the existence of Egyptin deities at some paint, it's irrelevant to the version used today. Egyptians were a simple target. They had a different culture and language compared to the Semitic middle east. Hence they were made an example out of as the foreign evil which eats babies and ruins everything they touch.

In the Old Testament good and evil is determined by tribe, not by individual actions. God wasn't angry because Egypt enslaved people. He was angry because Egypt enslaved HIS people.

The Prince of Egypt downplays this quite a lot. There's even a scene during the 'When You Believe' song in which two Egyptian guards drop their weapons and join the Hebrews, who welcome them.

But they were also getting free food if they weren't idol worshiping at the moment. Slavery also leaves a lot of scars. Would freshly released slaves been able to stand strong against the eventual wars they fought?

If you bought the sketchbook, you can scribble wherever you want even if some silverfish decided to start eating a page.

Have you ever met a Jew? It makes perfect sense in that regard.

it's basically the same in beauty and the beast where they treat the servants as literal property
