NOAH'S ARK Goes Back To Egypt! Special Passover Edition!
Pharaoh Lets Israelites Go!
After living in the land of Egypt for 430 years, the Israelites are finally leaving, according to eyewitness accounts. Hundreds of thousands of Jews can be seen lining the roads, heading towards the Red Sea.
"Pharaoh is sending us out of Egypt!" That's what the Israelites' leader, Moses, told the Israelites after a private meeting with the king of Egypt. "Gather your things and get ready to leave this land in a hurry!"
Palace officials would not give The Israelites packed only a few belongings in their rush to leave. They weren't t.aking any chances that Pharaoh would change his mind! "They left in such a hurry that they did not even t.ake time to bake bread to eat on the way," said Mr. P. Hasem, a wheat-seller. He had seen a few of the Israelite women preparing the dough for baking. "They just wrapped the dough in cloths and carried it on their shoulders. This dough will never rise! I wouldn't be surprised if they end up with something flat and hard."
