Nothing surprises me these days.....

The exodus of six hundred thousand men and children…and the women? No mention.

Yuyutsu.

Dear Dan,

According to the book of Exodus, 600,000 was the number of men alone:
"The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children." [Exodus 13:37]

By God's grace, they came out already, but the refugees on Nauru, kidnapped by the Australian pirate government on the high seas, still languish there. I would not expect any mercy from the Australian government, so I pray to God to arrange for their exodus too and soon.

Let’s stick to my point, it’s more interesting.

Exodus 12:37. KJV (not as you quote 13:37)

12:37:
And the children of Israel journeyed from Ramesh to Succoth about 600.000 on foot that were MEN besides CHILDREN.
12:38:
And a mixed multitude went up also with them, and flocks and herds, even very much cattle.

Maybe the women were in the latter crowd driving the animals.

Discrimination is endemic, you may fight against it all the way with LBJ, but you won’t win.

As for bikies securing Nauru: that one sounds like a practical solution to an endemic problem of game players, playing the system to gain access to Australia ILLEGALLY.

I’d be much more concerned about the apparent discrimination against the Israeli women coming out of Egypt with Moses.

Dear Dan,

I checked again the original Hebrew verse and it says:
"About 600,000 the feet of the men, except for children".

I am surprised that you are so concerned about the discrimination against women thousands of years ago when people still did not know any better, women that have already gone to heaven long ago, as opposed to women who still live and suffer today.
