mitzrayim, the word for egypt, means a tight place. There's actually some beautiful feminist midrash on the Egypt saga, but I can get into that when we get there.

In the desert they were totally dependent upon God, like an infant or an unborn baby is upon her mother. And though they saw the miracles in Egypt and ate manna in the desert, it says that until this day they still did not have a heart to know, or ears to hear, or eyes to see. Newborns. Third, they are delivered. Into what? We leave our mother's womb to enter a harsh world where at times it seems all we do is battle. What saves us? Observing the words of the covenant, heeding the warnings of our mother.
