wolfpurplemoonMoses and his people spend 40 years wandering in the desert with just coriander seeds to eat.
* God can be unnecessarily cruel in one passage and then conveniently kind in the next, after all that was done to the Egyptians, God now provides food for his people as the wander the desert, when they ask and because they follow his rules. That haven't been laid down yet. Not sure how that works out.
* I think it's just the way the bible is written, but it appears that Moses and his people had no water to drink for 40 years, but anyway God gets water from a stone for them so they'll be OK.
* Random battle that is only won by Moses' people if Moses has his hand up, but he gets tired so his people start losing, so they prop him up so his hand stays up and they win. What?
* Moses randomly stumbles across his wife, sons and father-in-law (who has a different name every time he appears) and everyone must be very old by now, after a bunch of them spent 40 years wandering in the desert.
