Endnote 8 – Exodus

“For two years I have been repeatedly robbed of my grain, we have no grain to eat. What can I say to my peasantry? Their sons, their daughters, the furnishings of their houses are gone, since they have been sold in the land of Yarimuta for provisions to keep us alive” (EA 85, trans. by Moran, Amarna, p. 156; cf. EA 74, 75, 81, 90).
