responsibilities, it would have been much more difficult for the Israelites to achieve justice if there one advocate was extremely unwilling to cooperate. If Moses also did not share a similar definition of justice as God and believed more in the Pharaoh, the journey would not have worked well. Furthermore, God’s use of the plagues not only proved that obedience towards Him is always important, but that He is very good at persuasion. The use of making the Pharaoh’s life miserable and hardening…

And as stated prior gender roles where very different from one another. In Ancient Egypt women could be pharaohs, not just men. While in Mesopotamia women where very limited to what they were allowed to do, mostly they could help run the family business and take care of the kids.

examines the stories of Abraham and Tamar, a principle becomes evident: trickery is often the only weapon available to the weak. In Genesis 12:10-13, Abraham is entering Egypt when he decides to trick Pharaoh by claiming his wife Sarah is merely his sister. In this situation, Pharaoh and his whole household are inflicted with disease though they knew nothing of the lie.
