Book preview

THE ISRAELITES CAME TO EGYPT AND WERE FRUITFUL AND INCREASED GREATLY IN NUMBER. EVENTUALLY THEY BECAME SO NUMEROUS THAT THE LAND WAS FULL OF THEM.

THERE CAME TO POWER IN EGYPT A NEW KING WHO HAD NEVER HEARD OF JOSEPH. LOOK, HE SAID TO HIS PEOPLE, THE ISRAELITES ARE NOW MORE NUMEROUS AND POWERFUL THAN WE ARE.

WE MUST TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO STOP THEM FROM INCREASING ANY FURTHER, OR IF WAR SHOULD BREAK OUT, THEY MIGHT JOIN THE RANKS OF OUR ENEMIES, AND THEY MIGHT TAKE UP ARMS AGAINST US.

ACCORDINGLY THEY PUT TASKMASTERS OVER THE ISRAELITES TO WEAR THEM DOWN BY FORCED LABOR.

THE KING OF EGYPT THEN SPOKE TO THE HEBREW MIDWIVES, SHIPHRAH AND PUAH. WHEN YOU ATTEND HEBREW WOMEN IN CHILDBIRTH, HE SAID, EXAMINE THE CHILD. IF IT IS A BOY, KILL HIM. IF IT IS A GIRL, LET HER LIVE.

BUT THE MIDWIVES WERE GOD-FEARING WOMEN AND DID NOT OBEY THE ORDERS OF THE KING OF EGYPT, RATHER ALLOWING THE BOYS TO LIVE.

SO THE KING OF EGYPT SUMMONED THE MIDWIVES AND SAID TO THEM, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ALLOWING THE BOYS TO LIVE?

PHARAOH THEN GAVE ALL HIS PEOPLE THIS COMMAND: THROW EVERY NEW-BORN MALE INTO THE RIVER, BUT LET ALL THE GIRLS LIVE.

THERE WAS A MAN DESCENDED FROM LEVI WHO HAD TAKEN A WOMAN OF LEVI AS HIS WIFE. SHE CONCEIVED AND GAVE BIRTH TO A SON.

Reviews for The Brick Bible Presents Brick Exodus

[Ragnarr · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

J'ai trouvé ce livre très intéressant et peut-être lu par des enfants pour qu'ils puissent agrandir leur connaissances personnes. L'utilisation des Légo est une très bonne idée. L'Exode en Légo, il fallait y penser. Génial !
