"To Raamses and Pithom, where our people toil in the buildings; he
has gone there to warn and advise them. He has done well. Hush!
Pharaoh's daughter comes."

"But she cannot bathe in the blood of our child."

"She comes, however. But she is the friend of the poor Hebrews; fear

"The Egyptians are our cousins; they are Ham's descendants, and we
are Shem's. Shem and Ham were brothers."

"But Ham was cursed by his father Noah, and Kanaan was Ham's son."

"But Noah said, 'Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and let Kanaan be
his servant.' Have you heard? Shem received the promise, and we
belong to him."

"Lord of Hosts, help us; the basket drifts with the wind! It drifts
towards the bathing-house,--and the vulture up there in the air."

"That is a hawk, mother!" Jochebed ran up and down the bank, like a
dog whom its master has deserted; she beat her breast, and wept
great tears.
