YHWH commands to despoil the Egyptians while Christ exhorted voluntary poverty: "And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and when you go, you shall not go empty, but each woman shall ask of her neighbor, and any woman who lives in her house, for silver and gold jewelry, and for clothing. You shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians.” - Ex 3:21–22. The people of Israel had also done as Moses told them, for they had asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for clothing. And YHWH had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Thus they plundered the Egyptians. - Ex 12:35–36 vs Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” - Mt 19:21 "Sell your possessions, and give to the needy." - Lk 12:33 "...sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me" - Mk 10:21
We are to be more like Jesus. We are NOT to be like YHWH. The two are not the same; YHWH is a man of war; YHWH is his name. - Ex 15:3 "you shall worship no other god, for YHWH, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God" - Ex 34:14 "For YHWH your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. - Dt 4:24 “Thus says YHWH of hosts [war]: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath. Thus says YHWH" - Zec 8:2–3 vs "But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil." - Lk 6:35 Does that description match YHWH?
Was Jesus cursed, and by whom? Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree” - Ga 3:13 “... a hanged man is cursed by God [Elohim]... YHWH your God [Elohim]..." - Dt 21:23
