The Story of Interruption
The big story of the Bible is the story of interruption. You can take that globally or you can take it quite locally. So I want to read with you the Exodus narrative which is a story of interruption and I want to identify these maneuvers of interruption. The first act of interruption are two midwives, Shifra and Pu'ah who fear God and who birth babies that Pharaoh does not want birthed. Second interruption: Moses sees an Egyptian foreman beating up on a Hebrew slave and he is so enraged that he just kills the Egyptian and becomes a fugitive from the law. Third interruption: It's the interruption that we're witnessing now after the cunning of the women.
