Keepers of the Covenant
“Rebbe Ezra announced last night that the caravan would break camp at dawn and begin the journey to Jerusalem. Reuben hadn’t slept well on the hard, rocky ground. His bed was out in the open behind Rebbe Ezra’s tent, and his blanket offered scant protection from the chilly spring night. He’d awakened every hour, it seemed, Rebbe Ezra’s words rolling around in his mind like pebbles in a bucket. Had God really written the Torah? Was Reuben doomed to live in darkness if he didn’t obey it? And if Go...d had a reason for allowing Abba to die, was it so Reuben could move to the Promised Land?
Abba. Reuben’s thoughts always returned to Abba. He would’ve been so proud yesterday to see Reuben consecrated as a Levite. But Abba wasn’t here. And Reuben didn’t want to be here, either. Today would be his last day with the caravan. Tonight he would escape with enough gold to live on for the rest of his life. He still had no idea what he would do with it.
