“ Ye see, brethren, how envy and jealousy led to the murder of a brother. Through envy, also, our father Jacob fled from the face of Esau his brother. [2] Envy made Joseph be persecuted unto death, and to come into bondage. [3] Envy compelled Moses to flee from the face of Pharaoh king of Egypt, when he heard these words from his fellow-countryman, “Who made thee a judge or a ruler over us? Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian yesterday?” [4] On account of envy, Aaron and Miriam had to make their abode without the camp. ”
