"A miscarriage of a priest's letter," he repeated slowly. The artist nodded. After the silence the young man spoke again: "And thou believest truly that because of this letter because of this Israelite's grievance against the powers of Egypt, we shall have uprising and serious trouble among our bond-people?"
What monarch of the sister nations hath two and a half millions of hereditary slaves not tributary folk nor prisoners of war but slaves that are his as his cattle and his flocks are his? What monarch before thee had them? None anywhere, at any time. Thou art rich in bond-people beyond any monarch since the gods reigned." The chagrin died on the Pharaoh's face and he wore an expectant look.
But he died before the work was completed by half, and his fourteenth son and successor, Meneptah, took it up and pushed it with the nomad bond-people that dwelt in the Delta. The city was laid out near the center of Goshen, a long strip of fertile country given over to the Israelites since the days of the Hyksos king, Apepa, near the year 1800 B. C.
Only Deborah, the childless, and Rachel, the motherless, went with lighter hearts, if hearts can be light that go forward to meet the unknown fortunes of bond-people. As they moved out, one of the older Hebrews in the forward ranks began to sing, in a wild recitative chant, of Canaan and the freedom of Israel.
Mentu shook his head, but there was no more temper evident in his face. "Now is a propitious hour for a good counselor," Kenkenes pursued. "What knowest thou?" Mentu asked with interest. "Tape," the young man replied briefly. "Nay, the sedition in Tape is old and vitiated." "And the Hak-heb." "That breach may be healed. But we have sedition to fear among the bond-people " "The bond-people!"
He hath sunk himself in the Israelitish pool here in the north, and he will breathe therefrom such vapors as may destroy Egypt faith state all! "The bond-people are already in ferment. There was mutiny at Pa-Ramesu recently, when three hundred were chosen to work the quarries. Moreover, the taskmasters are corrupt.
"The writing saith he hath exerted great influence over the bond-people in truth he hath entered a peaceful land and stirred it up and time is but needed to bring the unrest to open warfare. Thou, O Meneptah, and thou, O Rameses, and thou, O Har-hat, each being of the brotherhood ye know that we hold the faith by scant tenure in the respect of the people. Ye know the perversity of humanity.
There was balm in the barb for all the wound it made. This is what he read: "To Atsu, Commander over the Builders of Pa-Ramesu, These: To mine ears hath come report of mutiny and idleness through thy weak government of my bond-people. Also that thou hast enforced my commands but feebly, and so defeated my purposes, which were my sire's, after whose illustrious example I reign.
