The Plague in Egypt
From the 11 Commandments? from a naked unshackled mind.....
Then the lice plague broke out. Part of the reason for the plague was resistance to over the counter products like RID, Clear and other pyrethrins, the other part was a particularly warm and humid post summer, a perfect environment in which lice thrive. The lice epidemic was particularly bad because it reached the royal palace.
Queen Hatshepsut or it could be Queen Nefertiti had to shave her head to get rid of the lice, twice. Hell hath no fury like a Woman forced to shave her head and twice – you are inviting mayhem.
The Pharaoh summoned all the Jews in the kingdom to gather at the main village square, in Memphis, Egypt (some say it could have been Tahrir Square, Egypt). “You” he addressed Aaron and Miriam, “this is what you wanted right? You wanted your people to be free. We have been negotiating this for quite some time now. Well, you and your people are free now.” He then turned and yelled at the congregation “Get the hell outta here and take your cattle and your belongings and get out of my sight before I change my mind. We do not want your sickness and disease here. Get out.” He then turned to Moses and said “et tu, Moses. Get out. We don’t want murderers here either.”
So, the Jewish people left Egypt and the land of the Pharaoh. They followed their leaders Moses, Miriam, and Aaron into the wilderness. The exodus was tough. It was uncharted territory and food and water was scarce. There were many people and resources were limited and had to be rationed.
About 2 days after the Jews left Egypt, the Pharaoh could not find his ruby sandals with diamond straps. They were a much-cherished gift he had received from his mother on his last birthday. His mother had told him that the jewels in the sandals were mined in Tanzania and then hand crafted in Egypt and that she had to spend quite a bit of time to get this custom made for him. She also told him that they had magical powers. As long as he wore them, nobody could harm him or harm Egypt.
