"Israelites at Labor", The Egyptians Afflicted the Israelites. Caption: "This poor man is carrying a heavy load of bricks on his shoulder. The man with the whip is going to strike him because he does not go faster. A little way off another man is throwing a little child into the river, He wants to drown the little child. Its mother is trying to save it, but she cannot. Why are the men so cruel to these people? It is because King Pharaoh tells them to be cruel. The people they are so cruel to are called Israelites. There are a great many Israelites in King Pharaoh's land; some of them are men, and some of them are women, and some of them are little children. King Pharaoh makes them work very hard. They have to dig clay out of the ground and to make bricks of it, and to build houses. They are tired and sick with working, but the king does not pity them. He makes them work harder than ever." - from "Bible Pictures" book, by W. A. Foster, 1897.
