+------Life On The Otherside (Of Egypt); Moses's Thoughts Before He Raised His Staff Over The Red Sea
I feel the gales stirring,
foam from waves-before-me’s
furies (rushing oppositely
like brigades of soldiers once
warring filled with terror, suddenly)
crashing down drenching my
feet like a deluge. When flashbacks
sporadic, as a child on Pharaoh’s
lap, fed grapes from his hand,
learning royal secrets of Isis,
Ra, Seth, Nut loop before me,
I don’t flinch. I embrace this defection
as destiny, horses of persecution
galloping behind us. I can hear echoes
now of my mother’s voice, setting me
in a basket down the Nile: beckoning
from the Red Sea’s otherside: “My son,
Egypt is never to be your home. A
Hebrew's true home is Eden…”
------Exodus 14:15-23
The Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out for help? Tell the people to move forward. Lift up your walking stick and hold it out over the sea. The water will divide, and the Israelites will be able to walk through the sea on dry ground. I will make the Egyptians so stubborn that they will go in after them, and I will gain honor by my victory over the king, his army, his chariots, and his drivers. When I defeat them, the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” The angel of God, who had been in front of the army of Israel, moved and went to the rear. The pillar of cloud also moved until it was between the Egyptians and the Israelites. The cloud made it dark for the Egyptians, but gave light to the people of Israel, and so the armies could not come near each other all night. Moses held out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind. It blew all night and turned the sea into dry land. The water was divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on both sides. The Egyptians pursued them and went after them into the sea with all their horses, chariots, and drivers.
