01:20Sometimes, when you don't know what to do, you feel lost or confused.
01:26You only need to ask one simple question.
01:37What question?
01:40What is in your hand?
01:46What is in your hand?
01:49What does that mean?
01:52I will tell you the story of Moses and of the staff in his hand.
01:59Long before David ever kept his father's sheep, another shepherd walked alone in the wilderness of Oreb.
02:18His name was Moses.
02:22Once a prince in Pharaoh's house.
02:26Now a stranger with a flock that was not his own.
02:30And then, one night, the guard of Abraham spoke to him from a bush of fire.
02:38And it changed everything.
03:14While he was a man who came to her, heELL cuánt!
03:16What?
03:24What?
03:25What?
03:52You have worn a path in the floor, husband.
03:56What is making you hold that staff like a weapon?
04:09Come sit.
04:12Sit down.
04:17I'm all right.
04:19You are not all right.
04:22Tell me what happened.
04:23If I tell you, you may say your husband has lost his mind.
04:29I've thought that many times.
04:31I married you anyway.
04:32I'm not certain this time you'd be wrong.
04:36Last night, on the far side of Horeb, I saw a fire.
04:45A fire?
04:46A bush burning.
04:53First I thought lightning, a dry scrub.
04:58It happens.
05:05I hadn't slept.
05:08An old man climbing in the dark, he can hear things, he can see things.
05:14Is that what you believe?
05:19That's what I want to believe.
05:22Why?
05:23I can wake up tomorrow, tend to the flock, I can live and die a shepherd here in Midian and
05:29that would be enough.
05:32But if it was real, everything changes.
05:50But I watched it.
05:56I watched it for I don't know how long.
06:00And the bush itself was not consumed.
06:07Not a leaf, not a twig.
06:11As if the fire was alive.
06:17A dream?
06:18Dreams vanish when you wake.
06:21This followed me home.
06:24It's with me now.
06:28Here in this tent, it's as real as your face that frightens me.
06:40Zipporah, I heard a voice.
06:44Whose voice?
06:47From where?
06:48From the fire?
06:50From everywhere.
06:52From nowhere.
06:52From inside my chest.
06:56What did he say?
07:02He knew my name.
07:04He knew my name.
07:27Come.
07:27Show yourself.
07:31Come.
07:56Show yourself.
07:57Tell me.
08:01Tell me.
08:01All you are.
08:30You heard the voice of God?
08:34Not with his ears.
08:35Not with his ears.
08:37With my mind, with my body, with my whole soul.
08:43As if he knew all of me in a single breath.
08:47And for a moment, I knew all of him that a man can bear to know.
08:52His words vibrated through me.
08:56Every word was truer than any word that I have ever spoken or heard.
09:04And what did he say?
09:08That I must return to Egypt.
09:15To the place of my birth.
09:19To where my people are in bondage as slaves.
09:36You were a slave in Egypt?
09:39No.
09:41I was a prince in Egypt.
09:43Sure.
09:45Sure.
09:50.
09:51Unni' me'e'r ben Yitzrayim

10:24I left that place long ago, and... no, you... you have chosen the wrong vessel.
10:35Who am I that I should stand before Pharaoh?
10:44If I go to the Israelites, and they ask...
10:51What is his name?
10:53What shall I say?
11:25And they will not believe me.
11:29They will say, the Lord has not appeared to you.
11:36Why should they trust the man who fled Egypt long ago?
11:45My staff?
11:49I will not believe that all of you...
11:53You will not believe that all of you are in the king.
12:06You will not believe that all of you are in the king.
12:19I'm not sure how to believe in you,
12:23the Lord is the Lord.
12:30I will give you your hand.
12:32I will give you your hand.
12:39I will give you your hand.
13:12I have never been a man of words.
13:15Slow of speech, slow of tongue, I've always been this way, please, please, send someone
13:29help.
13:30I have never been a man, I have never been a man, I have never been a man.
13:43I have never been a man, I have never been a man, I have never been a man.
14:28I have never been a man, I have never been a man.
14:39This pharaoh, you knew him?
14:44As a brother.
14:50So, what will he do?
14:56What did he do?
14:57That is a good questioner.
15:00He did what every man must do when God calls him to an impossible thing.
15:07He had to decide who to fear and who to serve.
15:16He had to confront a moment where he took justice into his own hands.
15:23A life he tried for 40 years to forget.
15:29He did what he did.
