You have my answer, sheik." Ilderim put an arm over his shoulder, and kissed him, saying, passionately, "If thy God favor thee not, son of Hur, it is because he is dead. Take thou this from me sworn to, if so thy preference run: thou shalt have my hands, and their fulness men, horses, camels, and the desert for preparation. I swear it! For the present, enough.
When Hur, the son of Miriam, whom Moses during his absence had appointed joint leader of the people with Aaron, owing to his birth which placed him among the notables of highest rank, beheld this, he said to them: "O ye frivolous ones, you are no longer mindful of the many miracles God wrought for you."
Is your resolution still unshaken? There is still time to call the elders." He shook his head, and as he met her tearful, grateful glance, answered gently: "I shall remember these stones and this hour, wife of Hur. Greet my father for me and tell him that I love him.
"You bate hur, an' A'll bate you!" interposed Rory, turning to bay on the most salient of the three or four pleas which had power to rouse the Old Adam in his unassertive nature. "Well, A 'm sure A was bate ay, an' soun'ly bate when A was lek hur; an' iv A did n't desarve it then, A desarved it other times, when A did n't git it."
Further on in the same work, Justin Martyr, alluding to the statement in the Israelitish Law "Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree," states that "It was not without design that the prophet Moses when Hur and Aaron upheld his hands, remained in this form until evening. For indeed the Lord remained upon the tree almost until evening."
As the people approached the steep pass Hur, with more of the rescued prisoners, came to meet them, and hurrying in advance of all the rest was young Reuben, Milcah's lost husband. She had recognized him in the distance as he rushed down the mountain and, spite of Miriam's protest, darted into the midst of the tribe of Simeon which marched in front of hers.
Messengers from old Nun, Ephraim, and Hur had already informed the approaching throngs that the young men had gained a victory and liberated Joshua and the other captives; but their discouragement had become so great that even this good news made little change, and only a flitting smile on the bearded lips of the men, or a sudden flash of the old light in the dark eyes of the women appeared.
She must drive them back to the inmost recesses of her heart, seek to crush them; for it was a sin for her to long so ardently to meet another. She wished for her husband's presence, as a saviour from herself and the forbidden desires of this terrible hour. Hur, the prince of the tribe of Judah, was her husband, not the former Egyptian, the liberated captive.
Feed the fishes with them! You drove us into the sea with our children, now try the salt waves yourselves!" Such were the shouts that rose everywhere, and which no one opposed, not even Miriam and Ephraim, who had also gone down to the shore to witness the scene it presented. The maiden had become the wife of Hur, but her new condition had made little change in her nature and conduct.
What had she to ask from the Ephraimite, whom she had forever refused? Why should it hurt her that the liberated prisoner did not seek her; why did she secretly cherish the foolish hope that momentous duties detained him? She scarcely saw or heard what was passing around her, and Milcah's grateful greeting to her husband first informed her that Hur was approaching.
