Moses Sees the Promised Land from Afar by James Tissot

Book Reviews #20 - Deuteronomy

Well, so it ends, with Deuteronomy we end the Pentateuch, which was mostly Moises saga plus Genesis. It's basically like East Blue but a lot less consistent.

Deuteronomy is interesting not because of what it says on its own, but because of what it tells us of the people who wrote it. Basically, this whole book is a speech, it is a big big speech that Moises does, he first recaps the events of the previous books, then he mentions a lot of laws, and then he dies.

Now, when I started reading I thought to myself how well the LORD as internal will and moral compass fits with this book, since we hear LORD not just from the narrator but also from Moises himself directing his words towards his people. Is he the only one who sees LORD as a symbol for his own will? Do the people of Israel know that LORD is an expression for what is in your heart? Or... do not know and are looking at Moises as if talking about an actual deity? Or are the characters all thinking about deities and are we the ones who we are supposed to decode the symbol in the story? Or are we not supposed to decode it at all since we must believe? I feel that you could say all of this apply in some ways, it is a very layered tale that goes from dimension to dimension, from Moises to his people, from the people to the book itself, from the book itself, to us.

Moises is a bit of an interesting character because by Deuteronomy, he seems he is a bit tired of being the leader. He says that the LORD told him he could not cross to the promised land, but to me it kinda feels like an excuse he is making since naturally he doesn't want to be part of the war that is coming, and he doesn't want to deal with the cries of people telling him they rather go back to being slaves than being free. He often calls his people "stiff necked" and scolds them a lot. He did the best that he could, but he is done and he wants some peace. Still though, we can't discard that he might feel guilty for some of his choices, like giving leprosy to his sister or throwing some people into the abyss or causing the deaths of thousands of people, in any case, it comes as him being done with everything, just getting ready to rest and wishing them the best of luck.

There was a lot of boring laws, just like Leviticus, and that did hurt a bit my reading since I just get distracted so I skimmed over some of those chapters, but then Moises adds some huge threats in the name of the LORD. Chapter 29 is about all the terrible things the LORD will do to them if they don't follow the covenant, its actually kinda scary and the text gets almost as angry as AM in I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. There was at one point where Moises stopped saying that his people were the chosen ones and just said that other people were wicked, so basically "we aren't that good but they are worse so let's take their land."

All through the text they mention "The LORD your God." Which is a bit similar to how it worked in the first three chapters of Genesis, but not quite. In those chapters were "The LORD God" and that I interpreted it as the society and the self being one, nobody having an individuality of their own, a perfect group of people, but with no differences between themselves. I feel Moises was trying to do something similar here, make LORD a symbol of the whole will of Israel, so in this case, it would be not just an expression of internal will but of overall purpose. I remember how I got the idea of interpret LORD and God that way, how? Well of course, I got it from Gurren Lagann. In Gurren Lagann, Leeron once says that the spiral is the symbol of the will of humanity and how we cannot be stopped, because it represents the helix of the DNA, representing universal evolution. I think what Moises does here is something closer to that, considering the people are preparing themselves for war.

Does that mean LORD does not represent anymore the internal will of each protagonist anymore? Is the silly theory I had done? Yes and no, because while I think that interpretation ends here, it is not because the text disproved it, but because it evolved it. Moises adds a lot of threats mentioning what will happen to the people who do not follow the LORD, and it made me realize something. What is the one element that separates a God of a symbol used to inspire people? Fear. Moises adds fear to his people, he doesn't just say "if you don't follow our rules, bad things will happen, you know, cause and effect" he says "if you don't follow our rules, you will become a wicked being and the world will destroy you, because our God will be angry."

What I like to think about things and concepts and objects is that they get the life you give to them, you know, that's why I like Shinto and I want to learn more about animatism, so to me, when Moises does this, he is finally completing the creation of LORD as a God, in this book, the LORD stops being just a metaphor for individual will, but turns into an actual, true God that lives in the minds of the people of Israel. Why? Because the LORD doesn't just inspire, he also produces fear.

We all have something to give our existence some meaning right? It could be Apple products or a musical artist we really like, in a way they all fill this role to inspire us to live and give our life meaning, what they lack is produce us fear, when you add fear, you get a God. I thought it was a bit interesting to see it that way.

A lot of the laws in the book I didn't like but there are some funny ones, like a very specific law where if someone kills someone else by accident, if they kill someone by accident, they can escape to one of the three cities, and Moises repeats this law several times. It makes me think he really doesn't want what happened to him back when he flew Egypt to repeat again. "If someone kills deliberately, they are a murdered but if by accident they killed that person and if its just BY ACCIDENT SO IF IT WAS A MISTAKE BECAUSE IT WAS A MISTAKE THEN THEY CAN ESCAPE AND TAKE REFUGEE ON THAT CITY BUT ONLY THEN GOT IT?" There is also parts where he says that "The LORD will circumcise their hearts" which I think is a bit of a cheeky callback to what his wife did with him way back then when he felt like a foreigner. I doubt anyone else got his joke though.

There is also a new version of the Ten Commandments which feels more modern since it focuses less in animal sacrifices this time, Moises grew up a lot as a teacher in his arc and I think in this new version he managed to give some laws that sound reasonable, at least for his era. He also repeats the not pray to other Gods that request children sacrifices, since there was a god called Molek who used to that back then, I would say it was a valid concern of his. He also says that the LORD will speak through a prophet, and the way to know if the prophet is really speaking for the LORD is to see if what he says becomes true or not. Basically it says, "follow someone who knows what they are talking about!" Although we know that this rule is not one people necessary follow, because leaving a person that gives you meaning or a group that makes you feel part of something is hard and can cause a grief period, so a lot of people won't abandon a prophet that easily even if they fail, but well, that's something we only know now after lots of history, so whatever.

This book mentions "don't praise other gods" but it never says that the gods are fake, the book says that statues of gold like the animal statue they made back on Exodus was fake, but not other gods like the ones of Egypt or Molekh, it makes me thing that the writers of the book might have agreed somewhat with my view of Godhood. I have talked as Moises almost like an actual person but we know that the bronze era of The Bible is mythology because of the lack of archeological records as well inconsistencies in history. The way I see it this whole saga has used the words LORD and God as metaphors for other things since people writing it were building the mythology for the creation of their own God, but when we see the words they use for their deities as symbols of their own will, their feelings become transparent. Or not, I think I have been overthinking these last 5 books a lot but I can't deny I was entertained for a considerable part that it lasted.

Because it has a lot of boring laws like Leviticus I won't give it a good score, also a lot of the things I found interesting were probably not intentional, but I can't deny the subtext is there, also a lot of the curses are very raw and intense. Overall, this book is a mixed bag but it does have good things that are worth your time if you are interested enough in the subject matter.

The Prince of Egypt: Found in the Nile

[mesillusionssousecstasy]

Sky Rojo : Season 1-3

First of all, do not watch it if you don't want to see horrible sex scenes which you will not be able to unseen. Because yes, the writers prefer to show terrible, disturbing, raping sex scenes in stead of two people having mutual feeling making love to each other.

Just for that do no watch the series.

Also, Romeo could have died in season 1, but no he was dragged down until the very end. What a waste.

Regarding Coral life, who killed her mother-in-law and was sought by the police or her husband in consequences, but none of them came at the end.

Honestly the story didn't make sense from season one to season three.

Furthermore, the chemistry between Coral and Moises is quite insane, they could have played way more into it. Even their end didn't make sense. They should have found a way to each other after both of them saving each other and making love. To this point, I still don't understand why they had to make Coral lose her left eye.

As for Wendy she had way more chemistry with Diego than with Greta.

As for Diego and her sister I really didn't understand what they had to protect and why their came to the picture.

Finally, where the fuck is the police with all those criminal offences and murders. This is not at all realistic.

Moses and the Brazen Serpent by Anthony Van Dyck

Book Reviews #17 - Numbers

Numbers still has a lot of stuff that is just straight up boring coming from the "Priestly" writer that composes the Pentateuch. The Priestly writer just writes laws or demographics. But there is also some interesting stuff from the other sources. We get back some new narrative events, but... I have to accept that my framework of interpreting LORD as the internal moral compass of each protagonist and God as the overall society that surrounded gave some... interesting results here. And by interesting I mean that there are parts that make Moises look like a cartoon cult leader than anything else.

For example, Moises' sister, Miriam, finds he has a Ethiopian woman as a wife, she scolds him and then Miriam gets leprosy by hand of the LORD, if we see the LORD as usual as Moises' own internal sense of justice, it would point out to him infecting her with leprosy as a lesson, which is just kinda mean. There are lots of scenes where Moises pleads with the LORD for mercy, but that could simply mean an internal mental struggle from the tolls he has carried by being the leader of so many people. like when he told the Israelites that the people who gave him a bad report about Canaan died of a plague at the end of chapter 14.

There are parts the book could legitimately using LORD as a symbol for the fighting spirit of his people, like when Moises says that if they don't go with the LORD, they will be defeated. But then you get stuff like when he confronts Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, when they are rebelling against him and he throws them into the abyss (which is narrates as the earth opening up and eating them whole by the LORD), which... well, it's a cartoony villian thing, it's just cartoony. If it was "God", we could have said that the event was a metaphor about how they were destroyed by the community around them, but it wasn't "God," it was LORD, the supposed internal moral compass of each person. We could also say that the earth swallowing them could be a metaphor for their internal collapse. Their ambitions and misjudgments, unchecked, eventually led to a complete downfall—perhaps a loss of reputation, power, or integrity, to the point where they are consumed by the consequences of their actions. But I don't find that really interesting as an interpretation somehow? I mean, Numbers talks about a man getting stoned to death because he was collecting wood in the day of rest, there is no reason as to why the text would go in such a roundabout way to talk about their punishments when it talks about other punishments so bluntly. I also find the interpretation where Moises turns into a cartoon villain funny.

There are moments where it is genuinely hard to explain what happens with this interpretation. Like in chapter 16, the LORD (LORD, not God) creates a plague and the only way they can stop it is with incense in the very middle to stop the dead to spread, what happened there? Did Moises unleash a plague of Mosquitoes or something that could only be stopped with incense? I know that there is most definitely no comedic intent behind the text, but that's the only thing I get!

There are also some new characters here, like Balak and Bilam, a king and a prophet both outside Israel, and they have their own comedic routine. Balak asks several times to Bilam to curse the Israelites only for Bilam to bless them again because he is having the lord speaking through him.

It's some Elmer Fudd and Buggs Bunny type of shit, but this time I'm not even changing the subtext! I swear!

Oh and that time when Balaam speaks with his donkey.

Which, again, if we interpret LORD as the own internal will and moral compass of each protagonist, in this case Balaam, it would mean that he felt bad with his donkey and he imagined the donkey was speaking to him, it makes him sound depressed.

If the plagues where 24000 people died were caused by Moises, that would make him an absolute unit of a villain, but well the guy got his people out of Egypt, he has to deal with them and make sure they don't go back to being slaves due to the hardships of the road, I'm not saying he's okay, but I will say that the guy has some emotional load he has issues to deal with. He falls on his face a few times when he gets desperate, and you can see the position starts to wear him off a lot. He also made a symbolic snake to cure the people who are bitten by snakes, if the people look at the snake, they get cured. I feel that snakes could mean hatred and worries, if they put their worries on the symbol, that frees them of their burdens, or something like that. It is a therapeutic ritual in my point of view!

Oh, and there is some interesting call backs, like when the spies of Israel mention the Anakim are so big that they make the spies look like grasshoppers (and might be related to the Nephilim giants of Genesis, in the first book). The battle for Canaan has also been teased for a while so we will see if it delivers when the time comes.

Overall... while it doesn't have the brilliant metaphors of Genesis (Pentateuch's Shrek) or Exodus (Pentateuch's Shrek 2) it does indeed try to bring back some of the magic that was lost with Leviticus (Pentateuch's Shrek the Third). It doesn't get quite there, but even so, I would still say this is a solid return to form, there is some magic in Numbers (Pentateuch's Shrek Forever After).
