Summary: "The Yoke" by Elizabeth Miller is a historical romance written in the early 20th century. The narrative takes place during the time of the Exodus, focusing on the struggles and lives of the Israelites as they face oppression in Egypt. The main characters introduced in the opening chapter include Rachel, a young Israelite girl, and Deborah, an older woman who serves as her protector and confidante. Their interactions illuminate themes of beauty, peril, and hope in the face of bondage, setting the stage for the larger story of liberation. At the start of the story, we are immersed in the lives of the Israelites laboring under the harsh rule of the Egyptians. The morning unfolds in a camp of Israelites, where Rachel awakens to the diligent care of Deborah. The chapter captures the stark contrast of their existence, marked by oppression and the gradual approach of salvation through the figure of Moses. As tensions rise with the announcement of a selection process that may lead to their labor in the quarries, Rachel expresses concern for the dangers that lie ahead, while Deborah tries to comfort her. Amidst this backdrop of suffering and looming threats, there is an undercurrent of resilience and a sense of impending freedom, as the old woman speaks of prophecies and the enduring faith of their people. This opening effectively establishes a world rife with challenges and the determination of its characters to endure and rise against their circumstances.
