I think it was Moses.
Moses who was trying to get the Pharaoh to let the people go.
And he would not.
Or, at one point, he would, but then he changed his mind and set chase.
So Moses parted the dead sea so the people could cross. The Isralites.
Then he unparted it, and the Paroahs men were consumed by the Ocean.

Jacob...
I think Jacob was something about in a prison. He had dreams. Or the King would consult with him about the meaning of his dreams.
Something like that.

I read the Bible. All of it. When I was around 12 or 13.
Because I was going to these Christian Youth Camps in the holidays. There were some pretty serious Christians. And I was starting up on the smoking and heavy metal and so on. And, there were some holiday Christians who had their feet in both camps, seemingly.
Anyway... I took the whole being saved thing very seriously. And I read the Bible.
So I could make an informed decision about whether I wanted to be saved or not.
Huh.
At some point I agree. Then did the whole wishy washy thing.
Too much guilt. Should have been a catholic haha.
Then I didn't believe anymore.
But it took longer for the guilt to subside.
And longer, again, for morality to develop in response to reasons.
Why am I thinking 'Jacob and the technicolor dreamcoat'? I think that may have something to do with Biblical Jacob.
Read something once when you are 12. Sigh.
