Excerpt from Asaph: An Historical Novel It was to be no common offering, taken from its too willing parents' arms, that through its immolation honor might accrue to them. No, it was to be the most beautiful child in Jerusalem, nay, in all Judea - a boy fairer yet than any the sun had ever shone on, a descendant of the sons of God, with a complexion so radiant and hair so long and golden that people wondered and turned thrice to look at him even in the most crowded streets. The imperious powerful high priest of Moloch, hearing of the boy, had visited the rich widow Helah, the wife of Tola, in magnificent state, with an imposing retinue. When he saw the boy his eyes sparkled and the blood suffused his dusky face. Ah, what will not the great Moloch do for me for such an offering! He thought, so he unbended from his dignity, and became so soft so persuasive that the boy was fascinated and willingly consented to embrace the great god. The victim must be willing, else the sacrifice would he in vain. The mother was terror-stricken at her child's consent ing, and was as one made dumb. When the great day arrived the boy was taken from her arms, and she followed like a pale cold statue. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
