And Moses called for all the elders of I srael, and said unto them, Draw out and take for yourselves lambs according to your families, and kill the passover sacrifice. And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out from the door of his house until the morning. And the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyp tians ;and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

A wonderous collection of Iroquois myth, told by the great Seneca Chief of the Longhouse, The Cornplanter. This collection was originally published in 1902. The Cornplanter was born in Conewangus, on the Genesee River, probably in the year 1732, and died on Cornplanter Island in the Allegheny River, on March 7, 1836, at the age of one hundred and four years. The Cornplanter spent his early years at the council-fires, and became one of the most celebrated orators in the Confederation of the Six Nations. He traveled from village to village and sought wisdom from the sages of the Iroquois. It was during this portion of his life that he listened to the traditions that had descended from chief to chief over a period of three centuries. When he had acquired a reputation for bravery and woodcraft second to none of his race, he was unanimously chosen Chief of the Senecas, and came at once into prominence as the leader of the war-parties of that nation in alliance with the French against the English.
