"Liberated
by Law: Reflections on the Revised Common Lectionary, Year A," Perry Yoder.
"Living the Word" from Sojourners Online, September/October, 1999.
| "Perhaps it is this other side, the underside of the liberation shekel,
that ought to give us in the West the most to ponder in reading the story of God’s
salvation in Exodus. This God of Exodus, who saves the oppressed, is the God who judges
the oppressor who will not let go." |

"Leaving Idols, Mothering Moses," Rabbi Michael Graetz, The Shalom
Center.
| "Why does she come down to the Nile to
bathe? One Midrash turns this whole story into a struggle for self
definition, that is, the story of the daughter of Pharaoh is a microcosm
of the story of Israel." |

"Birth Bricks, Potter's
Wheels, and Exodus 1:16," Kevin McGeough, Biblica, 2006.
| "It
is argued here that the Hebrew word ’obnayim, which appears in
Exodus 1,16 and Jeremiah 18,3 refers to either birthing equipment or
equipment used in ceramic production." |
|
| "The
Hard Truth of Moses," from a biography of Janusz Korczak, Polish childrens'
writer who died in the Holocaust.
| "Korczak saw Moses as a child living in terrifying times, under a death
sentence. He saw him lost in the bulrushes, then found and reared in the enemy' s palace.
He saw him dreaming nostalgically of his lost home, having nightmares." |
