Top Highlights
“Pharaoh turned to population control, in one of the earliest known examples of human genocide. The Hebrews were too dangerous to expel and too rebellious to integrate, so the king turned to infanticide as his final solution.” (Page 10)

“he brings the great living fire of divine love, which is what the Holy Spirit is, a fire that burns” (Page 22) |
“The legislation in Exodus lists the wife along with other domestic possessions. First comes the house, then what it contains, the wife, the slaves, the animals, and all the sundry property. Deuteronomy recognizes the wife as holding a special place, and so she receives special mention before the house as well as the goods. Recognizing its superiority, the Church has selected the Deuteronomic formula for use in catechesis.” (Page 162)
“The last two commandments also show some substantial growth in interpretation during the forty years between Exodus and Deuteronomy. The status of women has improved. Exodus seems to treat them like chattel, but Deuteronomy accords them the dignity of personhood.” (Page 162)
“the Persians, then, the Greeks, and later yet, the Romans entered Egypt from the northeast, just as the Hyksos had done.” (Page 9)
