BIBLICAL HISTORY.
He visited the land of Goshen daily, observing the rigour
with which his brethren were treated, and inquiring of them
why they laboured and were so oppressed, he learned of all
the things which had happened before his birth; all things
concerning the children of Israel and all things concerning
himself. Learning of Bi'lam's desire to have him destroyed
in his infancy, he expressed enmity towards the son of Be'or,
who fearing his power and his favour with the king's daugh-
ter, fled to Ethiopia.
Moses urged the king of Egypt to grant the men of
Goshen one day of rest from their labour, in each week, and
the king acceded to his request." And the Lord was with Moses, and his fame extended
through all the land.
When he was about eighteen years old, Moses visited his
father and mother in Goshen; and going also where his
brethren were working he saw an Egyptian smiting a
Hebrew, and he killed the Egyptian and fled from Egypt,
as the occurrence is related in the Bible.
It came to pass in those days that the Assyrians rebelled
against Kikanus, the king of Ethiopia, to whom they were
under tribute. Kikanus, appointing Bi'lam, the son of
Be'or, who had fled from Egypt, to be his representative in
his absence, marched forth with a large army and subdued
the Assyrians, and imposed heavy taxes upon them.
Bi'lam, the son of Be'or, was unfaithful to his trust, and
usurping the power he was delegated to protect, he induced
the people of Ethiopia to appoint him their king in place of
the absent Kikanus. He strengthened the walls of the
capital, built huge fortresses, and dug ditches and pits be-
* Moses said: "If you compel them to labour steadily their
strength will fail them ; for your own benefit and profit allow them at least one day in the week for rest and a renewal of strength."
