THE EGYPTIAN BONDAGE
The old worker in ebony and cabinet-maker, Amram, dwelt by the
river-side in a clay-hut which was covered with palm-leaves. There
he lived with his wife and three children. He was yellow in
complexion and wore a long beard. Skilled in his trade of carving
ebony and hard wood, he attended at Pharaoh's court, and accordingly
also worked in the temples. One morning in midsummer, just before
sunrise, he got out of bed, placed his implements in a bag, and
stepped out of his hut. He remained standing on the threshold for
a moment, and, turning to the east, uttered a low prayer.
