More on Moses

Q: Is there Biblical evidence that Moses might have played poker?

A: Yes. He led the Israelites out of Egypt -- "and the children of Israel went out with an high hand." (Ex. 14:8, KJV)

OK, that's admittedly a joke. But it came to us today, as we marked the end of "Passover season" -- the seven days of unleavened bread mentioned in Leviticus 23 and other places.

You can meditate on this further. Since the Israelites left their 400-year home, that "high hand" couldn't have been a full house -- since it was left empty.

(Besides, they walked THROUGH the Red Sea -- without a "boat.")
