    Brief Summary: 12 commandments COMMEMORATE the exodus. They negate a) business anxiety b) ritual impurity c) mistreatment of orphans

    Today we ask the database query: When is remember Egypt used in Biblical commandments? The query uncovers 3 categories of commandments with about a dozen specific commandments mentioning the commemoration of Egypt. Some sample commandments are presented in the table below which is illustrative. The three categories of commandments commemorating Egypt negate the practices for which Egypt was know:
  • Class distinctions - mistreatment of widows and orphans
  • Spiritual impurity such as comes from sexual excesses
  • Business anxiety

Why mention Egypt Verse Text of verse
Don't mistreat orphans/widows Dt16-11:12 ###### And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt; and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
Avoid spiritual impurity Nu15-39:41 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of HaShem, and do them; and that ye go not about after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go astray; that ye may remember and do all My commandments, and be holy unto your G-d. I am HaShem your G-d, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your G-d: I am HaShem your G-d.'
Avoid anxiety producing Business Practices Lv19-36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am HaShem your G-d, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
