30:17 – With their Egyptian pursuers all washed up, the Israelites celebrate on the shoreline. Sister Miriam is the hit of the party, and shows promise as a pop singer. In the days that follow, however, they must face the harsh reality that drinkable water, edible food, and usable routes are not easy to find. Fortunately they have friends in high places who can airdrop K-Rations, engineer massive gamebird kills, and show them how to purify water. When it comes to navigation, however, Moses and Aaron are on their own, and it takes them forty years to figure it out.

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.
