The LORD values that are represented in EXODUS are incoherent. The LORD is mad at the Egyptians because of the way they are treating the Hebrews (the sons of Israel) and we intents to destroy them. The LORD whois supposed to be teh savior is himself a racist, and he prefers some people above other and is injust in the text. "22: But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians." (Exosus Chapter 3) ";and ye shall spoil the Egyptians." horreble words. Quite shocking to read and realice that the LORD is not the LORD is should be.
The difference in text between the Exodus and Genesis is minimum. It is divided the same way and has pretty much the same structure. Most od the stanzas start with "And..." and the context is the same. Something about he Bilbe that is really curious is that come parts of it are historical facts. I don't know about Ishmael or Isaac or Adam and Eve but what is sure is that Moses did exist, there are historical proofs. Abraham, if I am not wrong is also a historical character. Moses did do the movement of the Israelites from Egypt into Israel, what is not sure is if everything that is described in the EXODUS is true, but the main ideas did happen.
"Here is the first of the ten plagues, the turning of the water into blood. It was a dreadful plague. The sight of such vast rolling streams of blood could not but strike horror. Nothing is more common than water: so wisely has Providence ordered it, and so kindly, that what is so needful and serviceable to the comfort of human life, should be cheap and almost every where to be had; but now the Egyptians must either drink blood, or die for thirst. Egypt was a pleasant land, but the dead fish and blood now rendered it very unpleasant." -http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/commentaries/?action=getCommentaryText&cid=19&source=2&seq=i.2.7.3-
The tranformation of the Nile River into blood reminded me of a movie I watched with some friends in which the ten plagues of to the end of the world happen one after the other. It made me shiver to see it written in a text. In the movie this is the first plague (supposed to be) and the begginning of the movie. My brother explained to me the plagues and teh reason of them, he told me that they were described in the Bible, I did not pay much attention to him but now that I read it is amazing. The Reaping is the name of the movie.
