Chapter 117: Moses Who Escaped
Pua followed Yang Rui's instructions and returned to his home. She found a box, smeared the outside of the box with stone paint and oil, and placed the child inside.
At night, she crept to the river and put the box containing the child into the river. When Yang Rui saw this scene, he used his divine power to make the river carry the wooden box upstream, heading towards the pharaoh's palace.
At this time, just upstream of the river, in the palace next to the riverbank, the song of the priestess was heard, and the Egyptians were worshipping the river god. Pharaoh's sister Sith was chanting by the river.
Just then, the moon shone out from behind the clouds, illuminating the river, and the box containing the child came into her view.
He hastily ordered his servant to fish up the box, and the child was taken out of the box and brought to the Sith.
When Sith saw that the boy liked him so much, she herself had never become a mother, and in the face of this child, her maternal surname was aroused.
She took the child, kissed it carefully, and said, "This is a Hebrew offspring, and I will make him my son." ”
The servant said, "However, Pharaoh did not allow the descendants of the Israelites to remain, and this is the king's command." ”
Sith exclaimed, "I am Pharaoh's only sister, and he will not refuse my request, and I will keep this child." ”
When the Sith said this, no one spoke again.
The Sith looked at the child and said, "Go and find him a nurse for the Israelites." The child was later called Moses, which means fished out of water. ”
When Sith took Moses back to the palace, Yang Rui nodded with satisfaction and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
A few years later, an old priest appeared in the royal palace of Egypt, and this sacrifice was the incarnation of Yang Rui. He walked through the palace and found Moses in a garden, who was already an adult.
Yang Rui looked at Moses' sturdy physique and smiled, "Sure enough, I have grown up." ”
Moses asked, "Who are you?" ”
Yang Rui said: "I'm here to tell you the truth. ”
Moses was a little strange and asked, "What truth?" ”
Yang Rui looked at Moses dressed as an Egyptian prince and said, "Don't you notice that you are a little different from the people around you?" ”
This sentence seemed to speak to the faint pain in Moses' heart, and he was silent for a moment and said, "It is true, I am a little different from their appearance. ”
Yang Rui said: "Because you are not Egyptian at all. ”
Moses asked, "Then who am I?" ”
Yang Rui said, "Your true identity is that of Israel, and you should have died when you were born, but God saved you. ”
Moses was astonished and said, "Am I an Israelite?" ”
Yang Rui smiled and said, "Didn't you notice that you look exactly like those Israeli laborers?" ”
Moses was somewhat unrecognizable to this reality and said, "But I grew up in the royal palace, and all the people feared me. ”
Yang Rui said, "Because they are only in awe of your mother, the sister of the Pharaoh." They all know that you are an Israeli. If one day, your mother died, would they still honor you? They will definitely kill you. ”
Moses said, "Why did God save me if I was going to die sooner or later?" ”
Yang Rui said, "Because God has chosen you to save your people." ”
Moses said, "Save my people? ”
Yang Rui said: "Don't you see that the Israelites are suffering every day? ”
Moses said, "But how can you ask me to betray my mother, who raised me to be sincere." ”
Yang Rui said: "In the presence of God, everything is small, and only by acting according to God's will can it be right." ”
Moses stopped talking and walked out of the garden in silence.
He was very distressed in his heart, and when he came to Chengwai to relax, he saw an Egyptian beating an Israelite who was doing hard labor.
The sense of justice led him to shout: "Stop, stop beating this poor Israeli." ”
The Egyptian scolded, "I have nothing to do with you when I beat this Egyptian!" It's better to go a little farther. ”
Moses wanted to leave, but when he saw the Egyptian whip in his hand whipped down on the Israelite, he couldn't bear it, and once again dissuaded: "As a prince, I command you to let go!" ”
The Egyptians were not at all deterred by Moses' words, but arrogantly said: "The enslavement of the Israelites is the will of the great Pharaoh, and no one can stop it." ”
Angry at the Egyptian's behavior, Moses grabbed the Egyptian and asked, "Don't you listen to my commands?" I am Moses, the son of Pharaoh's sister! Prince of Egypt! ”
The Egyptian laughed: "So you are the Hebrew wild seed!" What kind of Egyptian prince are you! ”
This sentence completely angered Moses, who threw his fist and punched the Egyptian in the temple. The punch was so heavy that the Egyptian fell to the ground and died.
When Moses saw that the Egyptian was dead, he regretted his actions and was terrified. When he saw that there was no one else around, he hastily buried the dead Egyptian in the sand and said to the Israelite, "Go quickly, while the other Egyptians do not find you." ”
With that, Moses walked away in a panic.
But the beaten Israelite did not leave, but looked at Moses' back and smiled, and suddenly changed his face, which was exactly what the angel Michael was.
Michael said, "My master, you can come out, Moses is gone." ”
Then the sand loosened, and the dead Egyptian suddenly came out of the ground, and he let out a sigh of relief, saying, "It seems that I have done a good trick." ”
Michael asked, "My master, why did you do this?" ”
Yang Rui patted the sand on his body and said, "I want Moses to completely abandon his thoughts and follow my will." ”
Michael asked, "Does this work?" ”
Yang Rui said with a smile: "Small tricks can sometimes make a big difference. ”
Moses hid outside all night, and was relieved to see that there was no major movement in the whole city of Memphis. Dying alone is nothing to worry about the great Egyptian Empire, perhaps because of one's own heart.
He took advantage of the rising sun to go back to the city. On the way back to the city, he saw two Israelites fighting, and he could not help asking, "Why do you want to fight your brothers?" ”
One of them pointed at Moses and shouted, "Who wants you to be our judge, do you want to kill me as you did the Egyptian?" ”
When Moses heard this, he was terrified, and thought that his murder must have been known to others. He fled in a hurry, never daring to set foot in Memphis again.
Moses found himself with nowhere to go, having grown up in a royal palace, not knowing that the world was so big that he alone could not escape the territory of Egypt.
By this time he saw that the town was covered with proclamations, and that the Pharaoh was arresting him and that he was going to bring him to justice. He had to leave the crowded area and escape in the wilderness, but he didn't know where he was going. (To be continued.) )
