"I posted you a link already where he claimed the Jews were superstitious liars and thieves"

No. You did not.

You are making unsubstantiated personal attacks (and very enraged and vicious attacks)--because you know you are having your ears soundly boxed. Your only pleasure is to "Recc" everything that idiot Brum barfs up! The two of you look like a couple of teenage girls at a pajama party admiring your underclothes. Rather disgusting to see grown men act like such weaklings!

Wow, you remind me of the spinning top in its last wobble stages just before it desperately crashes to the floor. Health care & medication in Canada are plentiful & cheap, you should get reevaluated asap.

Here's your "Habiru" people once again, bands of lawless theives living out on the fringe, so another thesis is proved again, since you brought this up.

Habiru
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habiru

As more texts were uncovered throughout the Near East, it became clear that the Habiru were mentioned in contexts ranging from unemployed agricultural workers and vagrants, to mounted mercenary bowmen. The context differed depending upon where the references were found.

Though found throughout most of the Fertile Crescent, the arc of civilization "extending from the Tigris-Euphrates river basins over to the Mediterranean littoral and down through the Nile Valley during the Second Millennium, the principal area of historical interest is in their engagement with Egypt." [2]

Carol Redmount, who wrote 'Bitter Lives: Israel in and out of Egypt' in The Oxford History of the Biblical World, concluded that the term "Habiru" had no common ethnic affiliations, that they spoke no common language, and that they normally led a marginal and sometimes lawless existence on the fringes of settled society. [3]

She defines the various Apiru/Habiru as "a loosely defined, inferior social class composed of shifting and shifty population elements without secure ties to settled communities" who are referred to "as outlaws, mercenaries, and slaves" in ancient texts.
[3] In that vein, some modern scholars consider the Habiru to be more of a social designation than an ethnic or a tribal one

Tell us what "plunder" means in these passages, guess to your crew in the trailer park it means collecting free back wages for work never performed.<bg

This should give you plenty to rant about today, don't have a melt down, clay for brains ;)

Exodus 3:22
21"I will grant this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be that when you go, you will not go empty-handed. 22"But every woman shall ask of her neighbor and the woman who lives in her house, articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; and you will put them on your sons and daughters.

Thus you will plunder the Egyptians."
