Tradition Meru people are said to have originated on an island called Mboa where they were held captive by the red people or nguuntune red clothed . Their masters were cruel to them and a plan of escape was made. This Emigration exodus was accomplished by parting the Red Sea using a rod given to the leader by God . They crossed the sea in groups which later gave rise to different clan s that are present today among the Meru people.

Rabbinical Literature Midrash Vayosha Hebrew is one of the smaller midrashim , based on Book of Exodus Ex. xiv. 30 xv. 18. It is an exposition in the style of the later aggadah and seems to have been intended for Sabbat Shirah or for the seventh day of the Passover . Sources Entire sections of Midrash Vayosha are taken verbatim from the Tan uma , such as the passage on Book of Exodus Ex. xv. 3 from Tan., Bo, and on xv. 5 from u at, beginning. With the story in the exposition of Ex. xiv. 30, concerning Satan , who appeared before Abraham and Isaac as they went to the sacrifice, may be compared the addition in Tan. , Wayera, ed. Stettin, No. 24 Yal . , Ex. 98 99, end and Sefer haYashar midrash Sefer ha Yashar , end of pericope Wayera . The midrash on Ex. xv. 2, 7 also contains extracts from the Chronicle of Moses , the passage on Usa, the genius of Egypt, agreeing word for word with the excerpt in Yal . , 241. Here the first edition has merely Midrash, while other editions give the Midrash Abkir as the source, although it is doubtful whether this aggadah ever occurred in that work. The sections begin for the most part with the words ameru akamim, though Rabbi Joshua ben Levi and Rabbi Samuel b. Na mani are occasionally given as the authors. Eschatology In the exposition of xv. 18 on the sorrows and the redemption in the Messianic time, the terrible figure of King Armilus is described, and it is said that he will slay the Messiah ben Joseph Messiah of the race of Joseph , but will himself be slain by the Jewish Messiah Messiah who is the son of David comp.

Goals of the Midrash The author of the Midrash seeks to inculcate the doctrines of the Ten Commandments Decalogue by citing pertinent tales of a moral and religious nature, and he employs, in addition to much material from unknown sources, many passages from treatises on the Creation, revelation, and similar topics, which he introduces with the phrase ameru akamim the sages say he seldom cites his authorities. He writes in a lucid Hebrew style. The separate commandments are prefaced by a general introduction based on Psalms Ps. cvi. 2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? who can shew forth all his praise?
