Now will you let these Hebrews go, or will you bring death upon Egypt ?" Pharaoh glared at him and answered, "I will not let them go." "Why not, Pharaoh?
Tell me, for I am curious." "Because I cannot," he answered with a groan.

"Because something stronger than myself forces me to deny their prayer.

Begone!" So we went, and this was the last time that I looked upon Amenmeses at Tanis.
As we left the chamber I saw the Hebrew prophet entering the presence.
Afterwards a rumour reached us that he had threatened to kill all the people in Egypt, but that still Pharaoh would not let the Israelites depart.

Indeed, it was said that he had told the prophet that if he appeared before him any more he should be put to death.
Now we journeyed back to Memphis with all these tidings and made report to Seti.

When Merapi heard them she went half mad, weeping and wringing her hands.
