| Dec 25, 2018 at 17:16 | comment | added | Cyn | Thanks to those who commented. I've gone back and forth on this but have decided to take Phinehas out of the picture. The Talmud ref was great but seems allegorical to me, given that Job was also one of the advisors. We already have many commentators (including Rashi) who openly state that there are places the Torah does not stick to chronological order. So I'm going to assume that Phinehas' birth was given before the Exodus as part of genealogy and not because that's when it happened. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going against Jewish thought, but it seems either interpretation works. | |

In the Talmud, Yitro "ran away as a sign of protest" but in the drosh he "vocally rejected Pharaoh’s idea of exterminating the Jewish people... [and his] loud protests angered Pharaoh and Yisro had to flee Egypt in order to save his life." But both are clear that this is the same man whose daughter married Moses. I will keep it in mind. | |
| Dec 20, 2018 at 18:24 | comment | added | Heshy | This Midrash might help: torah.org/torah-portion/outsidethebox-5764-yisro (in case the link ever dies it's a summary of Sotah 11a which says Yitro was previously from Egypt). Maybe one of his daughters stayed behind. | |

| Dec 19, 2018 at 16:46 | comment | added | Cyn | Thanks @DonielF, I'd appreciate any comments or answers from you or others. I'm trying to compile a list of everyone present at the start of the Exodus and this is one I keep going back and forth. | |
| Dec 19, 2018 at 16:31 | comment | added | DonielF | I’ll have to look into that - at the moment, no I do not. | |
| Dec 19, 2018 at 15:34 | comment | added | Cyn | Thanks for that clarification, @DonielF. Do you have any insight into the issue of Phinehas's mother? | |
| Dec 19, 2018 at 14:00 | comment | added | DonielF | Joshua was 54 yet called a youth. The term doesn’t seem to refer to physical age. That said, it’s not actually applied to Phineas in Numbers 25, the incident in question. | |
