Capitolo 27
God in the earth of Egypt, when we eat from the meat-pots, and when we did
eat bread to the full one! for ye you/he/she has produced us in this wild region,
to kill this whole reunion with hunger." [The footnote: Ex. XVI, 3.]
"We remember the fish that we freely ate in Egypt; the cucumbers,
and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlick." These
it was the lacks of sedentary and of civilized people, not of Barbaric nomads
who are happy with the meat of goat and milk. And so it was with them
the morality and their conceptions of law. Moses was, indeed, an extremely
civilized and extremely educated man. Nobody would probably pretend of that

his/her father-in-law Jethro to Sinai. The morality of such god that he insists
coincided with the morality that Moses can have to durations approved,
but what rather foreign was to the spirit of the decalogue.
Undoubtedly this is, in a degree, true. The religion of the pure nomad was
very often raw and scandalous, not to say disgusting. But to dispute so it is
to ignore the fact that all the nomad didn't do, in the age of Moses, stand
on the same intellectual or I level moral, and it has to also ignore the opening
that intellectually separated and morally Moses and his/her congregation from
such nomad as the Amalekites.
The Dr. Budde, in his/her _Religion of Israel to the Exile_ he/she insists that the
