day no. 14,311: aunts and uncles and blisters and sneezes

Exodus 6:26-27
These are the Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said: “Bring out the people of Israel from the land of Egypt by their hosts.” 27 It was they who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing out the people of Israel from Egypt, this Moses and this Aaron.

This is an historical event. Moses and Aaron are not characters who serve as placeholders as "types" of people, they were real people with real moms and dads. They had aunts and uncles and blisters and sneezes. The names and dates have not been changed to protect the identities of those involved. These are the people, this was the time, anchored in real time history. These are not fables with moral lessons to be learned, this is history with divine revelation to be believed.
