The Egyptians comprised three factions at the sea: One said: Let us take their money and not kill them; a second: Let us kill them and not take their money; the third: Let us kill them and take their money. Re those who said: Let us take their money and not kill them — "I shall divide spoil." Re those who said: Let us kill them and not take their money — "I shall fill my soul with them."
