Highlights of parashat Shemot

This parasha begins by setting the background for the exodus, how the people became enslaved (chapter one) and Moshe's youth (chapter two).  The next two chapters record Moshe being commissioned by G-d to free the people, and the last chapter records the failure of Moshe's first mission to Pharaoh.  We have four discussions on this parasha.

The first discussion examines Pharaoh's plan to enslave and kill the male Jewish babies,  http://www.lobashamayim.blogspot.co.il/2009/01/shemot-18-22-population-dynamics.html

The second discussion discusses whether Moshe killed the Egyptian on purpose or by accident, http://www.lobashamayim.blogspot.co.il/2010/01/shemot-216-23-shemot-moshes-flight.html

The third discussion discusses who is Yitro, http://www.lobashamayim.blogspot.co.il/2012/06/bemidbar-1029-32-behaalothekha.html

The fourth discussion tries to understand what happened to Moshe and his son when Moshe was returning to Egypt, http://www.lobashamayim.blogspot.co.il/2009/01/shemot-423-26-by-inn.html
