(23) The Exodus and a Trip to Egypt with Professor Joshua Berman

Doug and Pesach interview Professor Joshua Berman about his recent trip to Egypt, where he explored ancient Egyptian artifacts that help explain many passages in the Book of Exodus. This controversial discussion addresses many similarities between an Egyptian Pharaoh’s victory and the Exodus from Egypt that lead to some "Wow!" moments, as well as some difficult questions. Egypt certainly shaped Moses and the Jewish people and this episode explores how much its fingerprints are on the text itself.
