bulrushes . Gome , is the papyrus , so famous in all antiquity. It grows on the banks of the Nile , and in marshy grounds; the stalk rises to the height of six or seven cubits above the water , is triangular , and terminates in a crown of small filaments , resembling hair. This reed was of the greatest use to the Egyptians; the pith serving them for food , and the woody part to build vessels with; which vessels frequently appear on various monuments of Egyptian antiquity. That boats were made of this reed is also attested by Pliny and others.

slew . If the Egyptian killed the Hebrew , Moses only acted agreeably to the divine law . Genesis 9 . 6 in thus slaying the Egyptian; nor did he violate the law of Egypt; for , according to Diodorus Siculus . 1. 1. 17 "he who saw a man killed , or violently assaulted on the highway , and did not rescue him , if he could , was punished with death." Moses , therefore , in this transaction , acted as a brave and good man; especially as at this time there was little probability of obtaining justice on an Egyptian murderer.
