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

10、ate,theonlyTrueGud,whohadtaughtthemhowtoliveholyliveswhenhebadethemtofollowthewiselessonsofhisTenCommandments.一天，摩西忽然离开犹太人的营地不见了，有人传言他是带着两块粗石板出去的。当天下午，鸟云蔽日，风暴大作，人们望不见西奈山的山顶。可当摩西返回时，看啊，两块粗石板上已经划刻满了耶和华在电闪雷呜中对以色列民族讲的话。从这时起，耶和华被所有犹太人奉为他们命运的最高王宰。唯一的真神。他教犹太人怎样按十诫的训示去过纯洁的生活。TheyfollowedMoseswhenhebadethemc

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
