The allusion for the story “Harden your Heart” in the bible is about a careless heart. The allusion is that a hardened heart does not feel compassion. It is related to the bible because in the story of the hardened heart, the pharaoh does not let the Israelites go. Th\is shows that he has a heart of stone, and does not show empathy for others. The allusion occurs in Exodus 9:12 when it says “But The lord Hardened the heart of the pharaoh...”and in Ephesians 4:18 “They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.” This allusion is represented as a serious matter, it shows that someone is careless or doesn't respect another person or thing. The richness of this allusion is supposed to be a hurtful thing, the phrase is telling the person that they have a stone heart that cares for no one. That is the allusion of “Harden Your Heart”.

I also found a book called Idolatry and the Hardening of the Heart and a music composition called Harden my Heart by Quarterflash. And an article called Harden your heart

The allusions of the story “Manna from Heaven” in the bible is about receiving a gift that you were not expecting. It is used in the bible during Exodus 16:15 “When the people of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?”. For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.” There are more examples of Manna from Heaven being used in the bible. This allusion would be described as an exciting or grateful thing. Receiving a gift that you didn’t expect is exciting, and grateful. This allusion could be used to represent a thankful attitude or ecstatic attitude towards the gift or thing that you received. The richness of the story “Manna from Heaven” shows that this allusion best represents how meaningful a gift from god

can be. The Hebrews receive something they didn't expect, and they were extremely grateful for it. That is the allusion of “Manna from Heaven”

A movie called "Manna form Heaven" came out a while ago. This relates to the allusion because it is about a family that receives a large amount of money out of no where, but it turns out to be a loan.

A literary work related to the allusion is "Manna from Heaven" by Amber

There is also a food truck related to the allusion called "Manna from Heaven" meaning that their food is so good its like the Manna form heaven in the bible.

David and Goliath

In the original David and Goliath, David looks like the unlikely one to win, because he is weak, and Goliath looks stronger in his armor.  David manages to overcome his disadvantage and kills Goliath.

The allusion of “Parting Waters” occurs in Exodus 14:21 when its stated that “Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.” It does occur more than once in the bible. This allusion is best represented as something that gives relief. It’s telling people that someone is there for them, and it is god. The allusion has been used to best represent the compassion and love that god gives to his people. Its shows that he will save them, and do many things to keep them alive. The richness of this allusion indicates that this story is best described as more meaningful. Like explained before, it’s said that god does many things to help. Like helping the Hebrews out of Egypt. That is the allusion of “Parting Waters”.
