Brendan,

Great work as always.  Some comments:

Egyptians Plundered:  Hey, the Egyptians gave them their lightsabers!
That'll come in handy when the Israelites want to fight off the Amelikites
or the Cannanites or the Sith-ites.

Egyptians Drowned:  I need to learn how to do pictures with the foreground
in focus and the distant areas out of focus.  I think I'll need a different
camera, though.  Anyway, this is always a good effect, like with the crowd
of Israelites marching, or when we see the Egyptian army in the foreground
with the Israelites in the distance.
The ranks of armed Israelites is a pleasing picture, but then I like patterns.
I like your chariot design.  I'll have to borrow that some day.
I don't like the first picture of the parted sea so much (the one that's
more tall slopes and peaks) but I really like the subsequent pictures (blue
wall with normal slopes).  Especially with it slightly out of focus in the
back, it makes a really nice effect.
Perfect faces on the confused Egyptians.  Where are those from?
One of my two favorite funny bits in the Brick Testament is the picture of
God clogging up the wheels (the other is the reaction of the horses in the
Noah story).
Hey, Moses didn't "stretch" his hand over the waters to close up the opening!
I never really imagined the Israelites lifting Moses over their heads, but
it's a cute touch.

Manna from Heaven:
"Sin, this way" sign is cute.
A mix of 1x1 plates, rounds, and tiles works well.  Was this a conscious
choice or driven by your available pieces?
The rotten manna is particularly effective.
Homer versus Ephah.  I was surprised you illustrated this, but it's pretty
funny in the execution.

Water from the Rock.
What are those canvas pieces, anyway?  Pirate sails?
I really like the photo of the water pouring out.

War with the Amalekites:  Great battle shots.  Good and gruesome.
So we finally see Joshua.  Will he lose that Padawan braid when he takes
over after Moses' death?  :)
Why is it when I see that "Israel had the advantage" photo I hear British
accents yelling "Run away!" in my head?  :)
