Goofs

 * Reverend Lovejoy appears to forgotten that the Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs become a part of Christian tradition as a symbol of fertility because rabbits and birds lay eggs during Spring in order for procreation to happen. The coloring of eggs dates back to ancient times when the Greeks when dyed their Easter Eggs with blood as a sight of renewal of Life. This tradition was around before the time of Christ and was adopted by Christians to remember his suffering. This was to honor the fallen, and other colors of the rainbow were added as a symbol of good luck. This was soon adopted by the Christians, and the Easter Bunny and the eggs tradition goes on toward this date.
 * When Goliath (Nelson) is eating, he throws a whale carcass out the window of his tower which lands in front of David (Bart). He then throws out a corn cob which is surprisingly the same size as the whale carcass.
 * Israelite Lisa pulls out a scroll to find out what's in store for the Jews and reads it left-to-right; it was probably in Hebrew which reads right-to-left.
 * Methuselah (the really old man Grampa portrays in Bart's dream) is mentioned in Genesis, not in 1 Samuel, where the story of David is found.
 * Adam (Homer) and Eve (Marge) were portrayed with belly-buttons. As Adam and Eve were the first couple, they wouldn't have belly-buttons since they were created by God (Flanders) and had no human parents.
 * When David (Bart) climbs the tower, he doesn't leave marks where the corn went.
 * According to biblical text, Moses was never a slave. He was adopted by the Egyptian royal family after his mother, Jochebed, tries to hides him from certain death in the hands of Pharaoh, who had order newborn Hebrew males, like him, to be killed.
 * Why was David (bart) arrested when it was Ralph who delivered the fatal blow?
 * According to historians, slaves were actually ordered to domestic works since the pyramids would have already been built by the time the story of Moses was set. Being a pyramid builder was an actual job that was offered by the Pharaoh.
