You Don’t Have To Be Jewish: A Baker’s Dozen Of Clips Showing Moses on Film

Friday, April 7, 2017 11:34

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

At sundown, this coming Monday Jews all across the world will begin the celebration of Passover. Outside of Israel, the first two days of the holiday begin with a Seder (Jewish holidays begin in the evening). Now during the Seder Jews across the world tell the story of the Exodus from Egypt. But the book that provides the script for the seder doesn’t mention one important person in the biblical Exodus story….MOSES. Yes that Moses… Prophet, miracle maker, former tennis player and prince of Egypt. How do I know he played tennis? Doesn’t the bible say that Moses served in the courts of Pharaoh.

The crazy part was that ignoring Moses was not a biblical command, Nowhere in the book of Exodus does it say, “Thus sayath the Lord, when you remember this day ‘ixnay on the osesmay.’ The Moses omission was a man-made decision. Refusing to listen to those ancient Rabbis, The Lidblog has found a way honor poor Moses (who still gets blamed for the fact that if he made a right instead of a left the Jews would have all the oil).

In an attempt to it up to Moses for being left out of the Passover seder, The Lid presents a baker’s dozen movie/TV clips of different actors playing Moses on film(below). Most of the clips show the splitting of the reed sea.

The 1923 Cecil B. DeMille Silent Version of The Ten Commandments:

The Moses We All Know Charlton Heston from the 1956 Cecil B. DeMille Remake of The Ten Commandments:

Trailer (in Italian) for 1975 TV Mini-Series, Moses Starring Burt Lancaster

DreamWorks Animated Prince Of Egypt With Val Kilmer as the Voice of Moses

John Marley as Moses in the 1978 Miniseries Greatest Heroes of the Bible (notice that the Israelite trying to get the people to turn around was ~~the Riddler~~, er…Frank Gorshin)

This short 46 second video from Israel doesn’t present the Exodus story the way I remember it:

The Ten Commandments (Musical) Val Kilmer as Moses

Dougray Scott as Moses in the 2006 Miniseries The Ten Commandments splitting the sea:

The Queen Version–Passover Rhapsody – A Jewish Rock Opera

Perhaps The Most Human Portrayal of Moses Ever (OK maybe not…. but at least its the funniest and my favorite), Mel Brooks in The History of the World Part 1

The History Channel’s Bible Mini-Series from 2014 had a Moses

The latest Moses in the Movie Moses: Gods and Kings–Moses was Played by Christian Bale. While watching the movie one half expects Moses to punch pharaoh in the face and snarl, I’m Batman.

We will leave you with the news. Not Today’s news, but how today’s news would have covered Moses’ exploits in Egypt.

The Haggadah is a book that was put together by Rabbis after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. It was created so Jews would have a guideline of how to celebrate the holiday without the animal sacrifices conducted at the Holy Temple. Yet those Rabbis decided not to honor Moses, who every time the Israelites screwed up prayed for the Lord to forgive them. Instead they honored Elijah who in chapter 19 of the book of Kings when God tried to get him to pray for the mercy of the people, but instead displayed a righteous indignation and demonstrated that he was incapable of accepting that the Israelites were humans and had faults.

Somewhere around 34 centuries ago, Moses acted as God’s agent–helping the children of Israel leave Egypt and head to the Holy Land. But every Passover Seder since then Moses has been ignored.

Think about this, at age 80 when most people sitting on their front porches yelling at kids to get off their lawn, poor Moses had to lead 600,000 Jews on a forty-year trip through the wilderness, being rewarded with nothing but whining.

And that long wilderness walk was where the Jews began a tradition which still exists today, whining about the food during a trip. Oh the complaints! Can you imagine what nonsense poor Moses had to listen to? The Israelites complaining about the food they received directly from God. That’s why it’s called Manna. Manna or Mah Na is Hebrew for “what is this?” Come on! When God sends you food you don’t run up to your leader and say “what is this crap?”

And when Moses was 120 years old, just when he finally got the Jews close to their destination, The Lord replaces him with younger guy, Joshua (who was only 90). He never even got to enter Israel and get a falafel. Moses deserved better treatment, not only because he endured forty years of leading the Israelites through the wilderness, but the “not asking for directions” and “making a wrong turn and missed the oil” jokes have slandered his name for the past 3,500 years.

Near the end of the Seder, a glass of wine is poured, the front door is opened and an ancient prophet is invited in to parse his thirst. Moses? No,Elijah.

Not Moses but ELIJAH ?!?!?

Moses endured Pharoah, the Exodus, forty years of wandering in a desert-like wilderness and he doesn’t even get offered a glass of freaking water, but Elijah, Mr. “ride a flaming chariot into heaven,” gets a glass of wine at every Seder in every Jewish house across the world. Heck, the last line of the entire Torah says, “And there hath not arisen a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,” but Elijah gets to party.

In Hebrew Moses is called Moshe Rabbeinu which means Moses The Teacher. Perhaps he can join a teacher’s union. After all if anyone deserves union protection…it’s Moses. He got screwed.
