| [[File:eve.jpg|center|350px|thumb|In [[Egypt]] under the [[Pharaoh]] 20% of your labor belonged to the [[government]] of [[Pharaoh]] as if you were [[employ]]ed and they called it the [[Bondage of Egypt]]. All over the world today people pay much more of their labor to the government and call it freedom.<Br>But because the people desired [[benefits]] from men who call themselves [[Benefactors]] we have returned to [[bondage]]. We were told to 'never return to the bondage of [[Egypt]] but people did under [[Herod]] and [[Rome]], and in the United States under [[FDR]]. It was also called a [[corvee]] system of statutory labor or the [[bondage]] of [[Egypt]]. Jesus told us  to [[repent|think a different]] way and to [[seek]] the [[Kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]]. Are we in need of learning the lessons of [[Exodus]]?]]

| The [[Israel]]ites and the Egyptian people were in [[bondage]] because they [[consent]]ed to [[bondage]]. They were depending upon rulers who [[exercise authority]] one over the other to become their [[benefactors|benefactor]]. Originally the Pharaoh did not own the labor of the people. But the people sold themselves in time of [[dearth]].

| [[Genesis 47]]:24  "And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth [part] unto [[Pharaoh]], and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones."
|- 
| That [[bondage]] was a [[corvee]] of 20% we see in Egypt we see with Rehoboam who said concerning the [[yoke]]<Ref name="yoke">{{05923}}</Ref> of his government: “My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions” 1 Kings 12:14 whixh is the same [[tribute]] we see in 1 Kings 12:18.<Ref>[[1 Kings 12]]:18  Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who [was] over the tribute <04522>; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.</Ref>
|-
|Servitude corrupts the Master as much as the bondservant because power corrupts the master and [[legal charity]] weakens the [[masses]]. This is key in the [[Natural Law]]… We were not given dominion over man so exercising dominion cuts us off from the tree of life.
|-
|V8... This Pharaoh did not know or appreciate Joseph and did not love the Israelites. He was affraid of them and attempted to weaken them but strengthened them.
|-
|  V11 We see the MemSamech<Ref name="mac22">{{04522}}</Ref> or "forced service... enforced payment" as ''[[taskmaster]]s''<Ref name="sar">{{08269}}</Ref> meaning ''afflict them with their burdens.'' The term, mas (מס) describes Pharaoh appointing “officers of the levy/labor (שרי מסים)” we see 23 times.<Ref>[[Genesis 49]]:15 "And he saw that rest [was] good, and the land that [it was] pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto [[tribute]] <04522>.
: 1 Kings 4:6  And Ahishar [was] over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda [was] over the tribute <04522>.
: 1 Kings 5:13  And king Solomon raised a levy <04522> out of all Israel; and the levy <04522> was thirty thousand men. 14  And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, [and] two months at home: and Adoniram [was] over the levy <04522>.</Ref> Samuel will tell [[Saul Syndrome|Saul]] this not only is [[foolish]] but against the commandments.<Ref>[[1 Samuel 13]]:13  And Samuel said to [[Saul Syndrome|Saul]], Thou hast done foolishly <05528>: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.</Ref>  But what appears in the text as missîm(מִסִּ֔ים) appears nowhere else in the Bible. It is accompanied by the term śārê(שָׂרֵ֣י)<Ref name="sar">{{08269}}</Ref> and together they, śārê missîm(שרי מסים), produce [[taskmaster]]s in verse 11.  
|-
| The normal or common word for ''[[taskmaster]]s'' is ''nagas''<Ref name="nagas">{{05065}}</Ref> more often translated ''oppressor''.<Ref>[[Deuteronomy 15]]:2  And this [is] the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth [ought] unto his neighbour shall release [it]; he shall not exact <05065> [it] of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD’S release.</Ref>.

|-
| V16 According to [[Acts 7]]:19-20 Moses was full term and not aborted and became a "ruling judge" by adoption.
|-
| In [[Exodus 1]]:17 the words ''saved alive'' is from Chayah ChetYodHey<Ref name="chayah21">{{02421}}</Ref> but we see in the text wat-tə-ḥay-ye-nā VavTavHeyYodYodNun with a [[Double Yod]]. 
|-
| In [[Exodus 1]]:20 the words ''Therefore dealt well'' are from yatab YodTetBeit<Ref name="yatab90">{{03190}}</Ref> but in the text way-yê-ṭeḇ VavYodYodTetBeit  with another [[Double Yod]]. The [[Double Yod]] means that God rewarded them by causing the royalty and the priesthood to issue from them. See [[Double letters]].

| The midwifes preserved life and did not cause [[abortion]]s disobeying the rulers and were blessed. Some countries require midwives to provide abortion assistance and they resist that today. 
|-
|In  [[Acts 7]]:19...  this story is repeated.
|-
| Moses had to face the [[temptations]] that all leaders face. And the people would have to face their [[appetite]] for the [[dainties]] of rulers which are deceitful meats that make them [[merchandise]].
|-
| We will see something about horns on Moses in [[Exodus 34]] of the Douay-Rheims Bible translates the Vulgate as, " knew not that his face was horned",  specifically verses 29, 30 and 35
|-
| Those [[covetous practices]] of [[Legal charity]] will [[curse children]] and ''entangle'' you again in the [[Yoke of bondage]] when you all have [[one purse]] and are [[snare]]d in the [[public religion]] of the unrighteous [[mammon]] as a [[surety]] for debt.
|-
| [[Abraham]] would not take a buckle from the king of [[Sodom]]. [[Jesus]] too with the [[pure Religion]] of the [[early Church]] was setting the [[captive]] free with their [[daily ministration]] of [[fervent charity]]. [[The Way]] of [[Jesus]] the [[Christ]] was the way of [[Moses]], [[Abraham]], [[John the Baptist]], and all the [[prophets]].

== Israel Increases Greatly in Egypt ==

1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.

2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.

6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.

7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

== Pharaoh Oppresses Israel ==

8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.

9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:

10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.

11 Therefore they did set over them [[taskmaster]]s<Ref name="mac22">{{04522}}</Ref><Ref name="sar">{{08269}}</Ref> to afflict<Ref name="anah31">{{06031}}</Ref> them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.

12 But the more they afflicted<Ref name="anah31">{{06031}}</Ref> them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved<Ref name="quwts">{{06973}}</Ref> because of the children of Israel. (see [[Jordan_Peterson#Forced_labor_Corvee]])

13 And the Egyptians made the children of [[Israel]] to serve<Ref name="abad47">{{05647}}</Ref> with rigour:<Ref name="perek">{{06531}}</Ref>

14 And they made their lives bitter with hard [[Aboda|bondage]]<Ref name="abodah">{{05656}}</Ref>, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service<Ref name="abodah">{{05656}}</Ref>, wherein they made them serve,<Ref name="abad47">{{05647}}</Ref> was with rigour.<Ref name="perek">{{06531}}</Ref>

== Midwives ==

15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:

16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill<Ref name="kill">וַהֲמִתֶּ֣ן wa-hă-mit-ten VavHeyMemTavVav appearing only here in this form {{04191}}</Ref> him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.

17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive<Ref name="chayah21">{{02421}}</Ref>.

18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?

19 And the midwives said unto [[Pharaoh]], Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.

20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.

22 And [[Pharaoh]] charged<Ref name="commanded">{{06680}}</Ref> all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
