Kaisipang Hudyo sa Jeremias 43:7: Akeidat Yitzchak

Problems in the text of the Parshah. 1) If G-d diverted the route of the children of Israel due to the fear of a military encounter with the Philistines, what good was accomplished, since they had to fight Amalek instead? 2) Why was there a need for Israel to travel both by day and by night? (according to the meaning of "the column of fire to light for them to travel by day and by night." 13,21) 3) Why was Israel asked to make a one hundred and eighty degree turnabout and attract pursuit by the Egyptians, when at the end of three days (their avowee* objective when they departed Egypt) their continued absence would have brought about this pursuit anyways? The Egyptians certainly could have been expected to recover their wealth if not the slaves themselves? 4) Why did Israel suddenly display fear of the pursuing Egyptians, when they had been told in advance that the whole maneuver was to inspire such pursuit? The misgivings the Israelites had expressed while still in Egypt, had never concerned eventual pursuit by the Egyptians, rather it had been concerned with the discomfort and dangers of the journey itself. So why do they say to Moses "this is what we have been saying to you all along?" 5) Why did Moses say "stand firm and behold the salvation of the Lord!", without spelling out the nature of the salvation? The latter would have inspired more confidence if accompanied by a detailed prediction. Besides, the promise "You will never again see the Egyptians as you do today," meaning "attacking you," is historically not true. Compare Kings I chapter 11, or Jeremiah chapter 43. Why was their part to keep silent, instead of praising the Lord, while G-d did all the fighting? 6) Why did G-d say to Moses "why do you cry out to Me?" To whom should Moses have cried out for help if not to G-d? 7) Since the instrument of salvation was the wind that split the sea, Moses’s staff should have addressed itself to the wind, not to the water! (i.e. "stretch out your hand over the sea.") 8) Why is the movement of the angel behind the Israelites' lines referred to as "he went" and not "he came?" What is the meaning of "cloud and darkness lit up the sky?" (verse 20) 9) Since the Egyptians, due to confusion, moved into the heart of the sea, why is this movement described as "nassim" "fleeing?" 10) What is the difference in meaning between eytano and tivoh "returning to its natural state," instead of "returning to its original state?"
