After the death of Massinissa , Scipio had divided the sovereign functions of that prince among his three sons, the kings Micipsa, Gulussa, and Mastanabal, in such a way that the firstborn obtained the residency and the state-chest, the second the charge of war, and the third the administration of justice.

Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? And the answer of the prophet is: He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

The leader of the great array of little ones, himself, in virtue of his firstborn childhood, the first recipient of the revelations of his father, having thus given thanks, and said why he gave thanks, breaks out afresh, renewing expression of delight that God had willed it thus: 'Even so, father, for so it seemed good in thy sight! I venture to translate, 'Yea, O Father, for thus came forth satisfaction before thee! and think he meant, 'Yea, Father, for thereat were all thy angels filled with satisfaction, The babes were the prophets in heaven, and the angels were glad to find it was to be so upon the earth also; they rejoiced to see that what was bound in heaven, was bound on earth; that the same principle held in each.

How could he fail?" "You seem to admire our firstborn, my dear," observed Giovanni with a smile. "To tell the truth, I do.

The cold, hard mother was deaf to all their entreaties, and left them under the inexorable punishment of the death of their firstborn, whom she had taken and carried away, and whom she refused to restore to them. "I prayed there for a long time," repeated Hubertine. "I listened eagerly to know if there would not be some slight movement." Hubert questioned her with an anxious look.

And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

"O Athelwold. my father, the only one of my father's counsellors who has been faithful to his firstborn, what can I do? She is dearer to me than life." "But not than honour. You have both erred, both disobeyed the law of the Church, both forgotten the example due from those in high places." "Tell Odo to enter," exclaimed Edwy.

His heart beat so that his breath came with difficulty; he was trembling with a new-found joy a joy so great that it almost gave him pain. "Oh, my love! my love!" he cried, as he took her in his arms, and his kisses were as pure as those with which a young mother lasses her firstborn. "What haven't I asked you?" he said, a few minutes later.

And therefore he said unto them: Choose ye out from among our sons a king, even whom ye will. And it came to pass that they chose even the firstborn of the brother of Jared; and his name was Pagag. And it came to pass that he refused and would not be their king.
