Such a condition waits only on the

in the person Of one Seled. who for
long time had secretly cherished feel
tngs Of jealousy against Moses. which
has been deepenet and intensified
since coming 70 Mount Sinai. owing To
the religious system which was de-

Egyptian who had given him many
advantages. educating him under the
tutelzge Of the priesthood. from whom
he had acquired much knowledge Of
the Egyptian gods and the Egyptian
form Of worship. This early training

he remained true to his Hebrew line

place with the Hebrew people when
theF left Egypt under the lead Of
Noses. he still felt the fascination OF
Egyptian forms OF worship. and had
since coming To Mount Sinai felt
