"But still I believe, and I feel here," cried the heir, striking his breast, "that Assyria must be trampled." "Oh, that the god Amon might speak through thy mouth," said Mentezufis. "What Thou sayst is true; Assyria will be humbled, perhaps even with thy hands, but not immediately not immediately." The priest took farewell; Ramses remained alone. In his head and his heart raged a hurricane.
Nay, in his eyes Pharaoh Menephtah's shameful entreaty: "Bless me too!" had deprived him of all the rights of sovereignty. Moses had murdered Pharaoh's first-born son, but he and the aged chief-priest of Amon held the weal or woe of the dead prince's soul in their hands, a weapon sharp and strong, for he knew the monarch's weak and vacillating heart.
"Also it seems to me the divine statue of Amon will confirm the decision if I put my Asiatics around it." "I thank you, pious men," said he aloud, "for showing me these precious things, the great value of which does not prevent me from being one among the poorest of sovereigns. And now I beg you to lead me hence by the shortest way possible and the most convenient."
Thus because, having faith, you obeyed the command and through you Amon was smitten, among both the Israelites and the Egyptians you are held to be the greatest sorceress that has looked upon the Nile, and that is a dangerous repute, my niece." "One to which I lay no claim, and never sought." "Just so, but which all the same has come to you.
Under Thothmes III an annual campaign was conducted into Syria to bring back the spoils and the tribute. Foreign slaves and the products of foreign handicraft were for sale in every market-place. The treasury was filled to overflowing. A large share was assigned to Amon, the god of the Theban family.
And there are few such estates in Egypt, I assure thee. Moreover, I must say that in the treasury here there are ten talents in gold and precious stones in addition." "My sovereign," cried the scribe, "permit that the first place in this palace be held by thy sacred statue, before which I will burn incense three times daily." "'But avoid that, replied Amon, pointing to the veiled figure.
But the wrath of Zador Ben Amon is both these and more, for hath not the Master himself said, 'The love of money is the root of all evil'? Protected must our friend be against this threefold danger until he can escape, and God forbid that he fall into the hands of the enemy!" "Yea God forbid," Mary repeated with trembling voice. "Thinkest thou harm hath befallen him so soon?
Perhaps once it was, but if so its star had set for ever, like those of Amon, Jupiter and Baal, and he was its last worshipper. Now we were safe, but still we sped on till we reached the portico of our sleeping place. Then Yva turned and spoke. "It is horrible," she said, "and my soul sickens.
"How differently everything has happened from what we hoped and intended!" said Gagabu in a low voice. "We are like ambassadors with sealed credentials who can tell their contents?" "I welcome Rameses heartily and joyfully," said Ameni. "After that which happened to him at Kadesh he will come home a very different man to what he was when he set out. He knows now what he owes to Amon.
"O Prince, you will have learned nothing. Yet if I escape from the wrath of Amon and my God is deaf to my prayer, then I am ready to be delivered over into the hands of the priests of Amon that they may avenge my sacrilege upon me."
