30:02 – What did Moses forget that caused him to have to take the long way around to the Promised Land? Did the Exodus take place in Egypt’s Middle Kingdom, 2nd Intermediate Period, or New Kingdom? Which Land o’ Goshen city did the Israelites depart from, Rameses or Avaris? What “revelation” did Mark Twain have when he viewed the erupting Kilauea volcano in Hawaii? To what body of water does the Hebrew name “Yam Suph” refer? How would Mr. Wizard explain the parting of the Red Sea? Who issued Cecil B. DeMille’s Artistic License? Dave in Kentucky answers all these questions, and more.

29:56 – The death squads of the gods fan out across Egypt, finally convincing Pharaoh to release the Israelite slaves, who have stocked up on borrowed goods that they have no intention of returning. (Is that any way to treat thy neighbors?) The ensuing blood bath is enough to make Dave in Kentucky consider pollo-pescatarianism. How many children of Israel set out on the Exodus? Did they leave from the city of Rameses, or from Avaris? And what’s so special about unleavened bread?

30:31 – When their “Domino Theory” of ecological disasters fails to produce the desired results, the Yahweh Elohim resort to chemical weapons and weaponized weather modification, fittingly resulting in plagues on a Biblical scale, but Pharaoh still refuses to free the slaves. Just who was this stubborn Egyptian king? By piecing together the historical, Biblical and scientific records, Dave thinks he has found the answer.

30:00 – A series of ecological disasters ostensibly designed to convince Pharaoh to release the Israelite slaves into Yahwelian custody only serves to strengthen Pharaoh’s resolve to keep them under Egyptian rule. But of course Jehovah El-Sadday knew all along that this would happen, so he has kept a few surprises in reserve. Also: Was Moses’ reluctance to engage in public speaking due to a speech impediment?

29:59 – The hologram in the “burning bush” gives Moses a mission, should he choose to accept it: to go to Pharaoh and demand the release of the Hebrew slaves so they can serve the Yahwelians instead. Moses is provided with the gadgetry and passwords necessary to complete the assignment, and is teamed up with his slick-talking brother Aaron, who serves as his mouthpiece. Once the hologram self-destructs, Moses applies for and is granted leave by his employer and father-in-law, His Excellency the Priest of Midian. Moses packs up the family, loads them on the family ass and heads back to Egypt, but along the way a near-fatal encounter with a Yahwelian results in spousal conflict and genital mutilation. Then when Moses and Aaron present their demands at Pharaoh’s court, Pharaoh not only refuses to release the Hebrew slaves, he increases their workload out of spite. Oy vey!
