Pharaoh Amunhotep II had his eyes closed and was resting on a pillow. It was quiet until an aide walked in.
" Mighty Pharaoh, two men representing the Hebrew slaves wish an audience with you".
" What do they wish?".
" Sire, I do not know but they insist on seeing you".
" Very well" he replied with a sigh. " Send them in".
Moses and Aaron walked in and then stopped in front of Pharaoh.
" What do you want?".
" O mighty Pharaoh" Aaron quietly said as he bowed. " Our people did not come as captives but voluntarily because of Pharaoh and Joseph".
He was not interested in ancient history. " Again, I ask what do you want?".
" The Lord God of Israel has revealed himself to us and has commanded us to appear before you".
" Really!". He stood up and pointed a finger at them. " Tell your God that he has no authority here".
Aaron spoke again. " Mighty Pharaoh, the God of the Hebrews wants us to take a three day journey into the desert to offer sacrifices to our God".
" Your God!" he screamed. He angrily clapped his hands and two guards appeared. " Guards, get these two out of my sight".
