while Jahweh hardened Pharaoh's
heart.
Then when the night had come for
the final manifestation of Jahweh
the chosen people stood ready, loins
girded slaves in hand, belongings
packed, ready to march out of the
land of bondage.
The Egyptians had worshipped
flies and beetles and God had sent
plague of flies and beetles and grass
hoppers until Their were overwhelmed
with their loathsome gods. They
had worshipped frogs and squat del
ties had come up from the purtid
Nile and in countless numbers had
invaded with Shiny presence the
homes of their worshippers. They
had worshipped cattle, and the
sacred bull Apis himself had died
with the murrian that destroyed all
cattle save in Goshen. Lice had de-
filed all priests and all temples. The
Nile was sacred and it had been
turned to blood and stank in corrup-
ton beneath the red moon, and one
by one the Egyptians had been made
to lOathe their gods and to acknowl-
edge the power OF JahWeh would
smite the first born in every home
Then while the Hebrews waited
they ate the paschal lamb and the
bitter herbs, for they were to go
forth with their flocks and herds to
be again nOmads of the desert with
lambs and the bitter herbs of the
desert for food, and their bread was
unleavened with salt or yeast that
there might be no trace of hospitali-
ty in the last meal in the land of
bondage.
After the long, long wait came the
stroke of midnight, and then the bit
ter cry that told that the keen blade
of the death angel had indeed smit-
ten all homes where the blood of
the lamb was not on the lintels of
the doors. Even the most re-
lentless Of the higher critics ad-
NIT that the passover was one of
the lunar feasts of nomadic days,
and that it has been celebrated by
the Hebrew race since the dawn of
history.
