Ancient Egyptians

Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or egyptians:

    You are our surety to immortal life,
    God’s hatred of the universal stain—
    The heritage, O Fear, of ancient strife
    Compounded with the tissue of the vein.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    And when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean by this observance?’ you shall say, ‘It is the passover sacrifice to the LORD, for he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt, when he struck down the Egyptians but spared our houses.’
