1rudiion u, regard to Hoses slowncss Of
Speech.-Wolf, the Missionary, gives the fol-
lowing tradition, which he heard in the East
when Moses was a child, Pharaoh one day
played with him. Moses took hold Of Pharaoh's
beard, and drew out the jewels with which it was
covered. Pharaoh said to Jethro, Balaam and
Job, who were viziers at the time, i am afraid
that this Jew boy will one day overturn my en-
pire, what is to be done with him!' Balaam adj
vsed Pharaoh to kill Moses; Jethro said mo; but
try whether he has understanding, by putting be-
fore him gold and fire; if he takes hold of the
gold, then kill him; but if he touches the fire,
then it will be proof that lie will not become a
clever boy Job was silent, but Jethro's advice
was followed. Moses wanted to take hold of the
gold; but the Angel of the Lord turned his hand
toward the fire, and he put the Goals to his
tongue, on which account he had a difficulty Of
speech:-I am slow Of speech and slow Of
tongue Exodus iv. 10. Job, on account Of
having followed the system of expediency, by
not having spoken out his mind, was punished
as described in the book of Job. Balaam, who
advised his being put to death, was killed.
