BIBLICAL FAITH–Sam Peak
Exodus 12:41; “It was at the end of four hundreds and thirty years…” The commencement of Israel’s nationhood brought with it certain characteristics that have remained ever since. The Exodus was not the final phase of a long evolution. Rather, it was an abrupt break with enslavement which, until the final moment, weighed heavily upon the people. There is no holiday or Shabbath which is not linked to the Exodus of Mitzrayim (Egypt).

BIBLICAL FAITH–Sam Peak
Exodus 12:32; “Take even your sheep and even your cattle, as you have spoken…” Rashi explains that Par’oh was referring to Moshe’s earlier prediction that Par’oh himself would supply the offerings (10:25). Of course, Moshe never considered accepting Par’oh’s sacrifices (Ramban to 10:25).

BIBLICAL FAITH — Sam Peak
Exodus 12:12; “…I am Hashem.” Rashi notes the emphasis implied by this phrase. It indicates that Hashem acted by Himself and not through an agent (or angel). Maharal comments that from its inception the Jewish nation’s relationship with G-d was clear, direct and personal. No intermediary intervened between Hashem and His beloved nation.

BIBLICAL FAITH–Sam Peak
Exodus 10:29; Moshe said, “You have spoken correctly, I shall never see your face again.” The Midrash tells us that as Moshe uttered these words of his own accord, the Shechinah (Divine Presence) decended upon him in the impure setting of the royal palace and confirmed his words (Mechilta). Hashem preferred to enter a contaminated place temporarliy in order to retrieve His terumah, Israel, and then restore His holiness in the scared precincts of the Tabernacle (Sh’mot Rabbah 15:5).
