"It is worth the trip from Tanis to look upon thee." "Thy words are fair, Unas. How is it with my father?" Masanath asked with stiff lips. "The gods are good to the Pharaoh. They permit the wise Har-hat to continue in health to render service to his sovereign." Masanath, dreading the news, asked after it at once. Men have killed themselves for fear of death.
"In East and West, and North and South, We made the nations fear us Both Nebuchadnezzar and Hannibal, And Pharaoh too, and Pyrrhus. "We took their statutes from the Greeks, And lots of manuscripts too; We set adrift on his world-wide tramp The original wandering Jew.
We have heard from you that which we already know too well that I am childless. Tell us what we do not know, the desire of your heart which lies hid beneath all these words." "Pharaoh, it is this I am of your holy blood, sprung of the same divine father "
My father refused because from my childhood I had been affianced to a man of Israel; also because it is not lawful under the law for our people to intermarry with your people. Then the captain Khuaka seized my father, although he was of high rank and beyond the age to work for Pharaoh, and he was taken away, as I think, because he would not suffer me to wed Khuaka.
It is not mentioned in the Scriptures how long Joseph retained his power as prime minister of Pharaoh, but probably until a new dynasty succeeded the throne, the eighteenth as it is supposed, for we are told that a new king arose who knew not Joseph.
The heavenly deities alone know what would have happened had there been time to develop and ripen those thoughts which were circling that night in the soul of Ramses. Perhaps if he had become pharaoh he would have been one of the most fortunate and longest-lived rulers.
The Wanderer went with the army for an hour's journey and more, in a chariot driven by Rei the Priest, for Rei did not march with the host. The number of the soldiers of Pharaoh amazed the Achæan, accustomed to the levies of barren isles and scattered tribes. But he said nothing of his wonder to Rei or any man, lest it should be thought that he came from among a little people.
But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian' the wild desert between Egypt and the Holy Land. So he bore the reproach of Christ; the reproach which is apt to fall on men in bad times, when they try, like our Lord Jesus Christ, to deliver the captive, and let the oppressed go free, and execute righteous judgment in the earth. He had lost all, by trying to do right.
And now, after a voyage of two months, we are coming to the house of Pharaoh, and I shall go in before Pharaoh, and offer the gifts which I have brought from this isle into Egypt, and Pharaoh shall thank me before the great ones of the land." Our last story belongs to a later age than that of the Shipwrecked Sailor.
The Lord gave Pharaoh every chance; He condescended to argue with him as one man would with another, and proved His word to be true, and proved that He had a right to command Pharaoh. And therefore, I say, if Pharaoh's heart was hardened, it was his own fault, for the Lord was plainly trying to soften it, and to bring him to reason. And the Bible says distinctly that it was Pharaoh's own fault.
