Moses page 16 by ric gustafson
Pharaoh Amunhotep II had his eyes closed. He was resting on a pillow. It was quiet. That all changed when 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". The young voice hesitated. " But they insist on seeing you".
" Very well". He sighed. " Send them in".
Moses and Aaron entered. They stopped in front of Pharaoh.
" What do you want?".
" O mighty Pharaoh". Aaron bowed. " Our people did not come as captives".
" Again, I ask what do you want?".
" The Lord God of Israel has revealed himself to us". Aaron hesitated. " He has commanded us to appear before you".
" Really". Pharaoh pointed a finger at the two. " Tell your God that he has no authority here".
Aaron did not react. " 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". Pharaoh clapped his hands. Two guards appeared. " Get these two out of my sight".
Moses knew this was going to happen.
