Sivu 827 - ... daughters to be preserved, But not allowing the sons to live ; Their bondage was severe, And very difficult to bear. The great God Viewed them with pity, And commanded Moses To return to his family. He commanded Aaron To go and meet Moses : When both addressed the king, And wrought divers miracles.
