Was I more lowly than was Amram's child?

Zeresh

Yet God exalted him until the throne

Of Egypt was within his grasp.

Mordecai

Though I,

Like Jesse's son, was once a shepherd's lad,

To-day I rule ten million souls.

Now Moses was a vessel of the Lord

When Death passed over every Hebrew home,

But slew the firstborn where no blood was found.

Was this revenge? Not Moses' hand, but God's

Was red.

[51]

Zeresh

The servant must obey his Lord.

Mordecai

I did not plot the Persians' death. The plan

Of God was in it all.

Zeresh
