Bible: Exodus

🏷  Bible text interlinear · text   —   by Gerry · Feb 2025 · 24769 words

The Book of Exodus is one of the most famous & inspiring Bible stories: The prophet Moses works many miracles, and rescues his people out of Egypt. Under the hood, the story is again encrypted, and tells how fake miracles can be play-enacted as hoaxes, with trick items & shills in the audience. Obviously, this would not work against powerful people like Egyptian rulers, as they use these tricks themselves and know them. Rather, it’s enacted here against powerless slaves who are rebelling, to prevent them from taking revenge on government moles that have been planted in their midst.

Introduction

So far, I’ve only decrypted a section in the middle of Exodus. As for the beginning, I couldn’t find out so far what the exact context of the story is. My best guess is that Egypt represents an enslaved region of less civilized natives, where the central government that enslaved them still has many sleeper-cell agents. However, the natives have started a rebellion and are now trying to sniff out the moles. The central government then sends a team that specializes in religious hoaxes, to shock & awe the natives into letting the moles go. Yahweh & Aaron are on the team of hoax specialists, while Moses is just coming aboard.

The literal test is already very suspicious: To enact the miracles, Moses has to be trained & instructed by Yahweh, who shows him how to transform his staff into a snake and back, and how to transform his hand and back, by putting it into his pocket…

Exodus above all stresses the need to plant shills (also known as called crisis actors or extras) in any crowd that is to believe an enacted hoax:

And if it happens that they don’t believe in these two enacted mockeries, and don’t listen to your voice, then take people that have been instructed, and mix them with the mockery. And these people which you take into the show will become a disguise together with the mockery.

Exodus 4:9
