6、，终于有一位名叫摩西的年轻犹太人带领族人逃出了苦海。摩西曾常年寓居在沙漠，那里的牧民遵循祖先的传统，拒绝被外国文明的安闲奢华所污染。Mosesdecidedtobringhispeoplebacktoaloveofthewaysofthepatriarchs.HesucceededinevadingtheEgyptiantroopsthatweresentafterhimandledhisfellowtribesmenintotheheartoftheplainatthefootofMountSinai.Duringhislongandlonelylifeinthedesert,hehadle

8、美德，决意唤回族人对它们的热爱。他成功地躲过了埃及追乓，带领族人来到西奈山脚下的平原中心。在漫长、孤单的沙漠中，他学会了敬畏闪电与风暴之神的气力。这位神统治着天庭，牧人的生命、取火和呼吸都依靠他。此神是西亚广受崇拜的众神之一，名为耶和华。通过摩西对族人的教导，耶和华成为希伯来民族唯一的主宰。Oneday,MosesdisappearedfromthecampoftheJews.Itwaswhisperedthathehadgoneawaycanyingtwotabletsofrough-hewnstone.Thatafternoon.thetopofthemountainwaslosttosi

13、占据。然而犹太人奋力冲开道路，进入山谷，建立起很多城市。他们修筑了一座敬奉耶和华的宏伟庙宇，并将庙宇所在的城市命名为耶路撒冷，意思是和平之乡。AsforMoses,hewasnolongertheleaderofhispeople.HehadbeenallowedtoseethemountainridgesofPalestinefromafar.Thenhehadclosedhistiredeyesforalltime.HehadworkedfaithfullyandhardtopleaseJehovah.Notonlyhadheguidedhistribesmenoutofforeignsl

23、rsstoodbeforehim,alarmed,andwonderingwhetherhewasnotmad.作为回答，另一个波浪冲上前来，包围了国王的脚。潮水仍然像往常一样上涨起来。海水越涨越高，涨到了国王椅子周围，不仅打湿了国王的脚，还有他的长袍。军官们站在他的面前，大感震惊，怀疑国王是不是疯了。Well,myfriends,Canutesaid,itseemsIdonothavequitesomuchpowerasyouwouldhavemebelieve.Perhapsyouhavelearnedsomethingtoday.Perhapsnowyouwillrememberther
