him come from the meeting with the hebrews. Now we will have a more in depth look into

the differences and similarities.

While there are some major changes to Moses adult life, the setup for Exodus: Gods and

Kings remains somewhat close. As Moses grows older, the scripture and the movie becomes father

Prince Ramses, his so called brother. In the scripture, no where is direct mention of Moses serving

battle-hardened version of what he really was. He never in the scripture was depicted as an

armored warrior. The part in the movie where he killed an Egyptian soldier to keep his meeting with the

Hebrews a secret and didn’t hide the bodies and word spread Ramses asks him. It is close to

happened in the scripture. Moses kills and hides an Egyptian soldiers for beating Hebrew slaves

mercilessy. As the words spreads Moses leaves out right. This is said in Exodus 2:11:14- One day ,

after Moses, he went out to his people and saw their forced labor… He looked in this way and

    Perhaps the most stark account of Israel murmuring against Moses comes in the form of Korah's rebellion. Leaders of the tribes of Levi and Reuben gathered together hundreds of people to overthrow the authority of Moses. They argued that God had set apart all of Israel, and that Moses had no right to assume a position greater than any other Israelite. Moses responds by telling them that the LORD would determine who He has chosen and set apart as the leader of Israel. He asks Korah and the Levites gathered around him whether they considered it an insignificant thing to be chosen for work in the tabernacle. It was Korah's company who had gone too far, not Moses. The Lord made it plain who He had chosen, and opened up the ground to swallow up Korah…

The Lord gave his people forty years of peace. But again the Israelites “Did evil in the eyes of the Lord”. Because of their sin, the Lord gave them over to Eglon, the king of Moab. Joining up with Eglon, the Amalakites, and Ammonites came and attacked Israel. The Israelites were subject to the King of Moab for eighteen years. Israel cried out and this time God sent Ehud, a left handed Benjaminite. Ehud made a double- edged sword and placed the sheath on his right thigh under his clothes. He went before Eglon and presented him with a gift. He then told the king of a secret message that he had for him. The king wanted to be alone. So when they were, Ehud drew his sword and drove it through the king’s stomach. He locked the doors as he let and had time to escape to Seirah, where he blew a trumpet and led the Israelites to the land God had given them. After this they struck down ten thousand Moabites.

    Whenever you read a book and then go watch the movie, most of the time they don’t follow the same events in the same order. Just like in the myth “Perseus” and the movie, Clash of the Titans, the event are not all the same and some of the causes of the events are not the same either. Different things happen in the movies that are not even close to some of the things in the myth. These differences can either make the story better or just make it less interesting.…
