Synopsis

My early years of recollection were when my Grandmother would read to me from the Bible when I was old enough to understand.The "Great Depression" had started.She was the one who would raise me. My mother had to work along with my dad in order to keep food on the table before I started work in the movies.All of the stories she read seemed to be about women and their dominant part in the narration of the events. Where as, when I went to school the forming of history was done by men.A good example was Jochebed, mother of Moses and Miriam, his sister. As a baby he was set adrift in a basket by them.Where was the father, Amram?The same can be asked when Moses married Zipporah and had a son by her. It was she who "cut off the foreskin and cast it at his feet". Exod 4:24.Circumcising should have been done by the father, I should think. It came to me that a tome in the form of a reference book should be made available.Hence, this manuscript.Charles "Doug" Greer
