Abstract
The phrase "Let my people go" occurs nine times in the Biblical narrative of the Exodus, sometimes in God's instructions to Moses, at other times in Moses' exhortations to Pharaoh. In contrast to most Biblical expressions, here, Greenspoon comments that the phrase "Let my people go" is characteristically cited as Biblical when it is referenced in the popular press although not all such citations or references are created equal. For instance, from the world of sports, a shot at British soccer, Yossi Benayoun has become the first player to leave Liverpool, signing a deal with Chelsea. The Israeli only the first of what is expected to become an exodus of players from a troubled club.
