“A literal translation would be: ‘And the Egyptians made the children of Israel work with breaking labor.’”

I realize I'm a bit off-topic, and I apologize.

I have a hard time forgetting a story I heard on NPR some years back. A slave cemetery was discovered in Manhattan, and among the deceased was a child estimated to be of four years of age.

Upon examination of his remains, it was determined that this child had literally been worked to death.

At 4 years old he had never known a moment of his life that was not back-beaking torture. I'm glad he found peace.

Yes, Christians supported slavery at any price. Too many still would...

Thank you for indulging me, Jonathan.
