He said to his people, "Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more numerous and stronger than we are." EXODUS (1:9) וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל עַמּוֹ הִנֵּה עַם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל רַב וְעָצוּם מִמֶּנּוּ שמות א:ט va-yo-mer el a-mo hi-nay am b'-nay yis-ra-el rav v'-a-tzum mi-me-nu Jerusalem Inspiration Today's verse is one of the first examples of ancient antisemitism. For no reason other than baseless insecurity, Pharoah expresses his worry that the Egyptian nation is inferior to the Jews. Pharoah then hatches a plan to subjugate the nation, thereby setting in motion the Israelites descent into slavery. Has anything changed over the course of thousands of years?
