One day when Moses was grown, he walked outto where the Hebrews wTere working. They werein bondage to the king, and their lives were bitterwith hard service in mortar, in brick, and in thefields. As he watched them, he saw an Egyptiansmite an Hebrew. Moses so loved the Hebrews thathe slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.When Pharaoh,1-the king, heard of it, he sought thelife of Moses. But Moses had fled from the face ofPharaoh. By this act he surrendered his position as anEgyptian prince. Thus, out of love for the He-brews, whose cause he took up when he killed theEgyptian, he became an exile from Egypt, the landof his birth, and where he had passed his happyboyhood. He owed much to the loving care of the princess, hisfoster mother, who had educated him liberally. In afteryears he became the leader, lawgiver, poet and historianof the Hebrews. Pharaoh = faro.
