In Egyptian bondage. They had made
brick without straw and barred their
backs to the lash OF the task masters.
They had been compelled TO submit
to all the barbarities and cruelties
that a powerful and heartless nation
could infict upon those who were
their vassals and slaves. But they
had multiplied.

interceded and God had answered his
prayer and the plague had been
stayed, and he knew from experience
that there stood the only man In the
nation that held the secret OF the
touch With God and that that man Of
all men could utter the words that
God would hear and God would stay
His hand and remove the plague. And
the people were suffering. They were
dying and were crying 10 God.
