I look forward to giving a talk at this conference on: portraying Pharaoh as Satan in allegorical interpretation of the Hebrew Bible. I will be more excited when the paper is ready 🤣.

Have you ever wondered why many artistic representations of Moses show two horns painted or sculpted on his forehead?
If you're preaching this coming Sunday, I wrote the commentary on Exodus 34:29-35 for the Working Preacher.

perhaps it's because these moments do not last long and because the future is unknown that the people of Syria should celebrate the fall of the dictators who have oppressed them!

Glad to see this essay out. One of the places where I problematize the essentialization of Egypt in the Hebrew Bible. This time, I focused more on the representation of Egypt in liberation theologies.
