Story of Pharaoh who dreamt of a lamb on one side of a pair of scales’ outweighing all the might and riches of Egypt. His sorcerers explained the dream to mean that a child would be born who would destroy the power of Egypt (Moses). They advised the drowning of the new-born males of Israel, saying they foresaw that his death would come through water.
They knew not that the “water" refered to the “Waters of Strife."
