Those don't seem at all the same though. God does eventually keep the covenant and liberate the Israelites, in the Exodus story! Flight 93 couldn't save themselves but they probably saved a bunch of other people. (I'm not sure what the third thing is from.) The Hadestown take seems more like "the Israelites will definitely absolutely never be free, and no one can be saved, but we're stuck trying because that's how it goes (in fact we also can't change that)." Sorry to argue, I mean, I really am glad you enjoyed that aspect of the show even if I didn't. :)
