The day-star rose, and Pentaur turned to it, and prostrated himself as his custom was. When he rose, Mesu also was kneeling on the earth, but his back was turned to the sun. When he had ended his prayer, Pentaur said, "Why do you turn your back on the manifestation of the Sun-god? We were taught to look towards him when he approaches."
"The sedition of the renegade, Mesu, bears early fruit!" But the spirit of rebellion became contagious and the men of Israel began to throw themselves out of line. At this moment, Atsu seemed to become conscious of the riot and drove his horses between the combatants. "Into ranks with you!" he commanded, pressing forward upon the Hebrews. The men obeyed sullenly.
"Thy perplexity hath not been untangled for thee, nor even a thread pulled which shall start it raveling. The priesthood can kill Mesu," he said to Loi, "and it will do them no hurt. And thou, my father, canst countenance it and seem no worse than any other monarch that loved his throne. Thus ye will decapitate the monster. But there be creatures in the desert which, losing one head, grow another.
Hosea's sword was an extremely useful tool to us; but if the hand that guides it is directed by the man whose power ever greater things we know...." "You mean the Hebrew, Mesu?" "Then Hosea will deal us wounds as deep as those he erst inflicted on our foes." "Yet I have heard you say more than once that he was incapable of perjury." "And so I say still, he has given wonderful proof of it to-day.
"And so I say still, he has given wonderful proof of it to-day. Merely for the sake of being released from his oath, he thrust his head into the crocodile's jaws. But though the son of Nun is a lion, he will find his master in Mesu. That man is the mortal foe of the Egyptians, the bare thought of him stirs my gall."
She slipped her arm about his neck and pressed close to him. "Nay, Seti, thou dost overestimate the peril. The Hebrew will not betray us, and who else will know of it? I shall make a journey into Goshen, find Mesu and bid him meet thee at a certain place. There thou shalt come at a certain time with the treasure, and the feat is done.
Kenkenes asked. "Mine exorcism of the Hebrew sorcerer, Mesu, will be harsher than formulas. I shall not beseech the Israelites and it will avail them naught to beseech me." "Thou art ominous, Light of Egypt," Kenkenes commented quietly. "Wilt thou open thy heart further and give us thy meaning?" "Hast lived out of the world, O Son of Mentu? The exorcism will begin ere long.
Even if Mesu should induce them to acknowledge his God, the experienced sage clearly foresaw that they would speedily turn from the invisible Spirit, who must ever remain aloof and incomprehensible, and return by hundreds to the gods they understood. Now Egypt was threatened with the loss of the laborers and builders she so greatly needed, but Rui believed that they might be won back.
If Hosea's mission is successful his people will return the guilty with the innocent and the latter will suffer. Among the former we can include the whole of Hosea's tribe, who call themselves the sons of Ephraim, from old Nun down to the youth in your dwelling." "We may spare them; but Mesu, too, is a Hebrew, and what we do to him...."
Instantly the outcry and clamor in the palace broke forth again, for the inhabitants knew that the blow which had smitten Rameses had fallen on one of their own. Meneptah staggered away from Hotep, his frenzy upon him again. "Send them hither," he cried hoarsely, waving his arms toward a white-faced courtier that had stood his ground. "Send them hither the Hebrews, Mesu and Aaron!
