wouldn’t you want to get even

No.

Never.

Getting even makes no sense.

Getting even is evil by all measurements of morality.

Justice is never about getting even. Justice is meted out with sorrow and sympathy. You enact Justice because you have to, never because you want to.

Especially when pharaoh was boasting about being a god and made his decree against the Israelites like an arrogant deity. God, stepped in, like alright, bet. Watch this asshole.

So we are told. I believe absolutely nothing is straight forward about that story, but even if it was, there is no concept of a "Chosen Race" that makes any sense.

I mean, who is the chosen race today? The Jews (the children of Judah (from the land of Caanan), not the Israelites). Who are the Egyptians? The Goyim. Who are you? The Goyim. Your first born son would have been killed too.

Because of the actions of one person? One asshole ruler?

Imagine if God came and killed your son because of the actions of Joe Biden.

Same thing.

Looking at history, these types of actions sound like Molloch. They sound nothing like any benevolent Creator God.

Your beliefs were created to rule an empire. They worked really well to control the minds of half the world for nearly two millennia. They have nothing to do with the Teachings of Jesus. If you have found wisdom there, if you have found comfort there, that is wonderful. But believing that the stories are True, or that the dogma is Reality would not make Jesus proud I don't think. In fact, upon a deeper reading, with more of the works included, I think they are antithetical to his teachings.
