Being Jewish, I have to hear this story once a year during the Passover holliday. However, in the dinner, the "hagaddah", or the story everyone reads, has some differences from what is actually written. All my life I thought that we ate unleavened bread, also known as matzah, because the Jews didn't have time to bake the bread as they were leaving Egypt. While that is true, the reason why we have to eat matzah and nothing with yeast in it, is simply because, well, God said so. Before their actual exodus from Egypt, he told his people of the Passover feast.
Another thing that I found interesting after I read this, is that there is no mention of Moses' sister, Miriam. In the Passover holliday, Miriam is one of the main characters in the story. Why then is she not mentioned in the real text? Why was she used in the hagaddah?
