Golda Meir used to say that Moses wandered for 40 years in the desert to take the children of Israel to the only place in the middle east that didn't have any oil nor water. ron -- Ron Roberts or Phone (512) 219-0043 Usenet invented "no controlling legal authority." |

In Ed's defense, he's correct. And what's the flood got to do with parting the Red Sea? That was during Noah's time. Many generations before Moses came along. But the Bible is wrong in Exodus. Check it out where it says the Lord caused an East wind to blow all night and this pushed back the Red Sea so they could walk across it. If you look at the maps in the Bible you can see Moses was on the West side of the narrow arm of the Red sea. He and his exodus were going east. An east wind would have blown the Red Sea right into their laps and not back as the Bible says. Here's the exact quote: Exodus 14:21 says, "And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided." KJV I guess whoever wrote that book was no sailor. Wilbur Hubbard |

I mention the flood as yet another example of the many holes in Bible myths. |

KJV I guess whoever wrote that book was no sailor. Wilbur Hubbard- Except the exact quote was written in Aramaic, not English so the translator could have been wrong. |

Exodus wasn't written in Aramaic. It was written in Hebrew. Moses was a Jew. The man didn't speak Aramaic, he spook Hebrew. That's how the slang for Jews got started. Some people call Jews "Hebes" short for Hebrew. But that's interesting about the east wind. Sounds like it shoulda been a west wind. I don't think translators were stupid enough to change east to west. I agree it's a mistake. Probably Moses dictated it wrong or maybe way back in his day when they said east wind maybe they meant wind blowing towards the east? -- Cheerio, Ed Gordon http://www.egordon873.homestead.com/drug.html |

Your right. But the point is that maybe the translation was suppossed to be, as someone else suggested, 'Sea of Reeds' in which case there may not have been a body of water involved at all and the direction could be correct. Or maybe the person that made up the story didn't know their geography well enought to get the story right. |

But they ramble on about boats and they don't have a klue there either so I'm not surprised. -- Cheerio, Ed Gordon http://www.egordon873.homestead.com/drug.html |
