I didn't know slaves in Egypt had standing to sue people

That the jews were actual DECENDANTS of slaves in Egypt.
Has anyone actually done any research on the type of civilization, society and quality of life in actual ancient Egypt

According to the Biblical record, the Passover is the celebration of the Jews being freed from Egyptian slavery.

So they were suing themselves??

In this iconoclastic and provocative work, leading scholars Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman draw on recent archaeological research to present a dramatically revised portrait of ancient Israel and its neighbors. They argue that crucial evidence (or a telling lack of evidence) at digs in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon suggests that many of the most famous stories in the Bible—the wanderings of the patriarchs, the Exodus from Egypt, Joshua’s conquest of Canaan, and David and Solomon’s vast empire—reflect the world of the later authors rather than actual historical facts.

The meaning of Passover originates from the story of
God passing over the homes of Isarelites the night he killed
all of the Egyption first born. Who still believes such savagery.

The savage in question was, of course, god.

God had already hammered Egypt with nine plagues, to no effect. For the tenth plague, god told Moses he would kill all the Egyptian first-born sons. God told Moses to have the Israelites daub blood on their front doors, so that god, the killer, would see the sign and would pass over their houses.

Horrible as that is, who here thinks that worse savagery doesn't exist today?
