+-----The Past; Moses's Words To Pharaoh Regarding The Hebrew People

“Dad”…I saw it…in the
flames at Horeb- a
spellbinding presage,
the meaning of it all;
An eagle gazing at himself
amazed in still waters at dawn
the first time. My soul laid bare
in a Bush burning, talking,
yet not consumed, sparks
and embers of divine memory
like leaves in the night winds
drifting. I knew, instantly, why
Mom thrust me, as a baby, in 
a basket down this Nile. And
why I wandered away empty.
I had to discover all you ever
taught was a lie. You,
nor Isis, nor Nut, nor Ra…are
real. There is only one God –
in the wilderness. Let the people
go so we can worship Him.

------Exodus 5:1-9
Afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Let My people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.’ ” And Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, nor will I let Israel go.” So they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please, let us go three days’ journey into the desert and sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest He fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.” Then the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you take the people from their work? Get back to your labor.” And Pharaoh said, “Look, the people of the land are many now, and you make them rest from their labor!” So the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying, “You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves. And you shall lay on them the quota of bricks which they made before. You shall not reduce it. For they are idle; therefore they cry out, saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’ Let more work be laid on the men, that they may labor in it, and let them not regard false words.
