God Is Anti-Donkey (S2 E3)

The plagues continue with swarms of monstrous bugs, things that go bump in the night, and straight up murder. Moses stars in ten seconds of an awesome action movie before it’s back to the now-familiar pattern of death, destruction, and Pharaoh’s clogged arteries. The Hebrews finally get to leave Egypt, much to the delight of the tiny number of surviving Egyptians, and they take all the booty they can find on their way out. We wrap up by spending more time with a character so irredeemably evil and bloodthirsty that he makes Sauron look like an amateur: no, it’s not Pharaoh, it’s God! At least he has a delicious recipe for lamb served with flatbread and some tips for decorating your house to have the best Halloween ever. (Exodus 10:1-13:16)
