How long did it take for Israel to move? |

How long would it have taken from the time the Pillar of Fire (or cloud) moved for the entire camp of the Isrealites to be ready to move? They would have had to pull up the tent pegs, round up the children and the animals, etc. And there were @ two million of them--more than the population of Columbus, Ohio. |

Good question! It would take a long time, but I believe that the area they were travelling in is mostly desert and mostly flat; in other words, they had high visibility, so when the pillar moved everyone could see it at the same time, so there would be no need for Paul Revere! :-) Hope this helps! GOD bless!! |

This is just something to mull over, and I hope someone has a concrete answer, but I know God asks us to give to him the "first fruits" of our labor, money, all that we are. The first born (males in particular) were always considered as special, consecrated to the Lord if you were Jewish, sacrificed to other gods in heathen cultures. This was the last and the severest way God could try to get Pharoah's attention and also showed His people the strength of Jehovah and how much He loved His people. |

Prayon, are you referring to Exo 5:1?
-God gave Moses the orders (3:18).
-It could of been a test of Pharaoh; to see if he would let them have a three-day weekend ... then to bigger things.
God knew the answer of Pharaoh (v 19) and the results (v 20). He told Moses, as we see He did in Amos 3:7.

I think it is just like God to totally show Himself supreme over any of their so-called gods by showing He had power over the lesser of their gods all the way to the one they considered the most powerful. He is a God of order and will leave no doubt about who He is.

Man is made in the image of God.
How human-like is God. Does God share the same or similiar emotions as man - i.e. likes, dislikes, and so on.
This is not a question to try to belittle God, but to understand God better - to assist us in relating to God
When answering, please quote verse and justify your answer. |

In the New International Version Exodus 33:20, God tells to Moses you cannot see my face and live but you can only see me from behind (in Exodus 33:30, when Moses wants to see the glory of God).
Man definitely looks like God since he was created in His image.
we can know that God has a face, hands and feet.
so no one knows how he really looks. but since Jesus looked the same after the Resurrection we can conclude God or rather we look like Him.
more over since Christ himself became human he did go through all emotions like hunger(temptation into the wilderness), pain, sorrow (Gethsamane), joy. but his emotions were based on more serious things like spirituality unlike us. he was angry with the pharisees stubborness, he was amazed at the people in his hometown of their lack of faith and he was amazed at the centurion's great faith. he also wept at Lazarus' death. some people say he cried also because the people didnt believe that He could raise him from the dead. e also longed for Jerusalem to come to him like a mother would do to her children. So God does know what we r going through and that's all the more to our benefit.
hope that had answered your question.

Thank you for your response.
However, I'd like to limit the scope of this discussion specifically to God , the Father and not Jesus, at this time and more on non-physical features.
For example:
Integrity: God became very angry at the Hebrew people after He freed them from Egypt, and yet He fulfilled His commitment to them for a land of their own.
Here, we see God's anger, hurt and other "man-like" features, but then we also see His God-like response in the manner in which He handled these situations.
Can you help me expand on this? |

Perhaps a better question is, "How God-like are human beings?" At all events, the "image of God" can hardly refer to physical attributes since God is spirit, not flesh. Moreover, the Risen Christ in His victory over sin and death differed in some measure from the Suffering Savior on the cross; the Transfigured Christ differed from the Jesus of Nazareth; and in His second advent He will differ from His first. --Hank |

I think you are reading more into this than intended. I suggest that maybe if you could re-read the question and also my expanded explanation to vkey, it may help explain theobjective of my question.
If you need further clarification, please let me know and I will be happy to assist

Brian, I don't believe I'm "reading more into your question" but attempting to expand and clarify it. Your question seems awkward and ill-contrived to begin with. The question, as I indicated in my former post, is better to be considered as How God-like is man? instead of How human-like is God? Man was created in God's image, not God in man's image. God is not "human" in any sense. God is God. So the proper consideration is How and to what extent did God create man in His image?...... As concerning my brief references to Christ, I hardly can see how it is possible totally to separate the image of God the Father from the image of God the Son. --Hank |

In reviewing your comments, I agree that the question could have been written better.
I think the best way to proceed with this thought is to end this posting and restructure the question and start all over again.
Thank you for your feedback.

why was pharoh's heart hardened? |

Why did God harden the heart of the Pharoh when Moses went to request the freedom of his people? God hardened Pharoh's heart, and then punished him for having a stone heart... |

If the plague of livestock had occurred two plagues earlier (9:6), how were the slaves of the Pharoah able to bring their livestock inside (9:20-21)? Shouldn't these livestock be dead? |

|

|

Dear Fefala:
Pharoah's heart was hardened after nine out of the ten plagues (7:22, 8:15, 8:19, 8:32, 9:7, 9:12, 9:34-35, 10:20, 10:27). However, it is interesting to note that as the plagues progressed, events happened that cannot be merely summed up as "Pharoah's heart was hardened."
First, he resorted to his palace and did not give the matter another thought (7:23). Second, he made a false promise to let the people worship if the frogs left (8:8). Next, he ignored the words of his magicians when they acknowledged the presence of God in the plagues (8:19). Then, he asked Moses to pray for him while he allowed the Israelites some freedom to go into the desert and worship (8:28). Pharoah also investigated the dead livestock (9:7). He twice acknowledged his sin to Moses and promised to let the people go (9:27-28, 10:16-17). He angrily commanded the Moses to never return to his presence (10:28). And finally, as a broken man he submissively released the Israelites into freedom (12:31-32).
Why do I mention all that? Why was his heart so hard? There are two main reasons, I believe. The first is the display of the power of God, and the second is the reliquishing of Pharoah over to his sinful desires.
First, in Exodus 6:1, 7:5, 8:22-23, 9:14-16, 10:1-2, and 11:9, you can readily get a good grasp on the whole purpose of God in the exodus of his people. He sent the plagues to "perform these miraculous signs of mine among them that you may tell your children and grandchildren." This type of event parallels God's command to keep his laws that he would give to his people in their promised land (Deut. 6). God was setting a precedent, he was manipulating events that would serve as a constant reminder to the Israelites that he was the Almighty Lord. Thus, the hardening of Pharoah's hard was part of the plan. Also check out 1 Samuel 16:14, where God sends an evil spirit to torment Saul so that His ultimate purpose might be accomplished.
Second, Pharaoh was perpetually resisting God. He ignored God, he confessed his sins but never repent of them, he allowed only the men to leave, and he made promises to set God's people free that he renigged on at the last minute. As background info, Egypt was a land full of various types of gods (Pharoah himself was even considered a god). With such a plethora of paganism, Pharaoh probably gave little credit to the power of God due to the fact that such a God was the Lord of Hebrew slaves. Pharoah was stubbornly disobedient and willing to partially compromise (8:15, 8:25). What is one alternative that God has with someone who has utterly rejected Him? To let him has his way, as Paul says, "hand him over to Satan" (1 Cor. 5:5).
Pharoah's constant rejection of God coupled with God's desire to carry out his perfect plan meant that Pharoah's heart would be completely unyielding. God did not merely hardened Pharoah's heart and punish him unjustly. He used a sinful man's heart to orchestrate the single greatest event of the Old Testament.

Greetings Sandman!
One possible explanation that I came across was the 9:6 referred to all of the livestock in the field at the time, and not to each individual animal.
Another possiblity is that a decent amount of time had passed and they may have imported more animals.
I hope this helps!

A search in a KJV concordance for the word "hardened" in the Books of Law will reveal that:
1) in some places it says the LORD hardened the heart of Pharoah;
2) in some places it says merely that Pharoah's heart was hardened; and
3) you will also find verses that say Pharoah hardened his [own] heart (e.g. Exodus 8:15; 8:32; 9:34).

Some introduction for Moses:
In the New Testament he is referred to as the
representative of the law and as a type of Christ
(Joh 1:17; 2Co 3:13-18; Heb 3:5-6). Moses is the
only character in the Old Testament to whom Christ
likens himself (Joh 5:46
Aside from that, it is written in the scriptures s that Moses was exceeding fair, so he was different from his brother:
Acts 7:20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:
If you will see introduction to Aaron is different:
He is not exceeding fair but a man of a ready utterance.
AARON
He was to be the "mouth" or "prophet" of Moses, i.e., was to speak for him, because he was a man of a ready utterance (Ex 7:1-2,9-10,19).
I hope it will help
