Indeed, here was enough to fill their breasts with rage, which, however, I thought had gone too far, agreeable to these words of Jacob to his sons Simeon and Levi: Cursed be their anger for it was fierce; and their wrath; for it was cruel.
He drew back into the cold, dark passage and played the eavesdropper for the first and last time in his life. "Mine! mine!" Never had Sandy's voice known that tone before. Levi bowed his head. "You are mine! Yes, lil' Cyn, there is a law, there must be a law that can give us to each other; I have been waiting for you by The Way all my life, and you have come to me, lil' girl, at last my lil' Cyn."
In his last sickness the old man's mind constantly turned to his lost stepson. "Mebby he'll come back again," said he, "and if he does I want you to be good to him, Hiram. I've done my duty by you and have left you the house and mill, but I want you to promise that if Levi comes back again you'll give him a home and a shelter under this roof if he wants one."
The jesting word referred to the Master's speech of the day before on love of one's neighbour. Levi nodded thoughtfully and said: "Yes, gentlemen, she is my nearest enemy." "Isn't she your wife?" asked Simon. Without answering him, the tax-gatherer said: "I am a publican, and blessed with mistrust as far as my eye can reach.
Martin would surely be away, for his "job" demanded that he should watch the men working in gangs on the new buildings. Sandy was up North.

His account of his actions in Galilee is, however, from beginning to end, open to question; and the contemporary account of Justus has unfortunately disappeared entirely. Before his arrival in the north, the leader of the national party was John the son of Levi, a man of Gischala, which was one of the mountain fastnesses in Northern Galilee, now known as Jish, near the town of Safed.
The account which has been given of the political constitution of the ancient Jews would not be complete were we to omit all notice of the tribe of Levi, the duties and revenues of which were fixed by peculiar laws.

There was a moment of solemn silence. Then the Reb spake. "Tell thy mother to put on her things and take what she needs for the journey. Perchance we may be away for days." They mingled their tears in sweet reconciliation.
