Aye, I know you and your brother also, but your errand I know not." "This is my errand, Pharaoh, or rather the errand of Jahveh, God of Israel, for whom I speak.

Have you not heard it before?
It is that you should let his people go to do sacrifice to him in the wilderness." "Who is Jahveh?
I know not Jahveh who serve Amon and the gods of Egypt, and why should I let your people go ?" "Jahveh is the God of Israel, the great God of all gods whose power you shall learn if you will not hearken, Pharaoh.

As for why you should let the people go, ask it of the Prince your son who sits yonder.

Ask him of what he saw in the streets of this city but last night, and of a certain judgment that he passed upon one of the officers of Pharaoh.

Or if he will not tell you, learn it from the lips of the maiden who is named Merapi, Moon of Israel, the daughter of Nathan the Levite.
