[281]
Since then Moses found that the Hebrews would be obedient to whatsoever
he should direct, as they promised to be, and were in love with liberty,
he came to the king, who had indeed but lately received the government,
and told him how much he had done for the good of the Egyptians, when they
were despised by the Ethiopians, and their country laid waste by them;
and how he had been the commander of their forces, and had labored for
them, as if they had been his own people and he informed him in what danger
he had been during that expedition, without having any proper returns made
him as he had deserved. He also informed him distinctly what things happened
to him at Mount Sinai; and what God said to him; and the signs that were
done by God, in order to assure him of the authority of those commands
which he had given him. He also exhorted him not to disbelieve what he
told him, nor to oppose the will of God.
