HOW LONG WERE THE 10 PLAGUES 1 YR
HOW LONG WERE THE JEWS IN THE DESERT 40 YRS
HOW OLD WAS MOSES WHEN HE DIED 121 YRS OLD

  • 1) Moshe died while the Jews were still in the desert
    2) Who said he was 80 when he talked to pharaoh? Was he exactly 80 or was he in his 80th year?
    3) Who said the 10 plagues took exactly 1 year?

  • Maybe the plagues were really a vision and they only took a few seconds...

  • maybe it was in the 121th year, but he was still considered 120 becuase he never started the new year.

  • maybe the mathemtic system is differant in the torah then what we know today-
    like one plus one in torah language is differant then one plus one here

    or maybe it was just so the children will ask
