Our ancestors say that God hardened Pharoah’s heart
because a choice between the children of Egypt and our own children
was a necessary part of the story.
because a choice between the children of Egypt and our own children
was a necessary part of the story.
Is this to be our lot, simply to endure,
in every generation to fight the same enemy with a different name?
In every generation to sacrifice children upon the altar of war?
in every generation to fight the same enemy with a different name?
In every generation to sacrifice children upon the altar of war?
We do not want to choose whose child will live and whose will die.
Please, God, do not require us to harden our own hearts any more.
