Quote context

- A shepherd girl? What can she be to you? Unless the desert sun has dulled your senses.
- Does she... grate garlic on her skin? Or is it soft as mine?
- Are her lips chafed and dry as the desert sand? Or are they moist and red like a pomegranate?
- Is it the fragrance of myrrh that scents her hair? Or is it the odor of sheep?

- Who else can soften Pharaoh's heart? Or harden it?
- Yes. You may be the lovely dust through which God will work his purpose.
