00:15Disobedience, you see, comes at the cost.
00:18Even for a great one like Moses.
00:22What did he do?
00:25That is a good question.
00:28He did what every man must do when God calls him to an impossible thing.
00:34He had to decide who to fear and who to serve.
00:41Moses gathered his family.
00:43And his brother, Aaron, the Levite, who God provided as a voice for him,
00:47a help to his weakness of speech.
00:52He asked himself the question again.
00:58What is in my hand?
01:03Is he not?
01:05Is he not?
01:12Is he not?

02:25Moses.
02:29Yes.
03:17I will name you Moses, but I drew you from the water.
03:25And you will be a son to me and a prince.
03:34And so Moses was raised in Pharaoh's house, a son of Egypt.
03:41He learned their ways and was honored as a prince, given a place among them.
03:51But God had not forgotten his people and was preparing Moses for a greater purpose.
04:01One that would take nearly 80 years to fulfill.
04:05I will.
04:05Come.
04:06Come.
04:18Come.
04:19Come.
04:20Come.
04:20Come.
04:29Come.

04:43Come.
04:55Come.
04:57Come.
05:09Come.
05:10Come.
05:13Come.
05:40Why would they believe you are who you say?
05:44Why would they not kill us right now?
05:53I know this man, Moses.
06:14Why have you returned to the people you betrayed?
06:20Where is your father?
06:22My father is dead.
06:26Why did you come?
06:29To speak the words of the Lord, the God of Israel, let my people go that they may hold a
06:36feast to me in the wilderness.
06:38These are the words I am tasked to bring before you.
06:44I do not know your God.
06:48Why would I obey him?
06:51You waste your time, Moses.
06:54You waste your life.
06:58I remember our former days.
07:01Heed my words.
07:04Heed your words.
07:06Heed your words.
07:09The former days.
07:14Let me tell you a story.
07:17My father told me.
07:20A Hebrew woman's son was raised in generosity in this house.
07:29My grandmother, placing him beside my father, is a prince of Egypt.
07:35This very sword given to him by my family.
07:40And he used it to betray us all.
07:46When he murdered a son of Egypt and fled into the sand, never to be seen again.
07:54Until now.
07:56So.
08:04Tell me, Moses.
08:07Why would I listen to you?
08:10Why should I not just strike you down with this very sword?
08:13I was, I was, I was foolish then.
08:16I used my own strength to do what I thought was just.
08:22But now.
08:23I come on behalf of a God.
08:25Who needs no sword.
08:27Whose wrath you have kindled.
08:29Because you have made the lives of his people bitter with slavery.
08:31And their cries have reached the ears of the living God.
08:35If you resist him.
08:37You'll suffer.
08:38A fate worse than theirs.
08:46What can your God do?
08:52So, Moses remembered the question.
08:55And the staff in his hand.
09:08Moses.
09:12I have gods of my own.
09:14And the people who have always returned.
09:19His hand.
09:29He's on the ground.
09:30He was dead.
09:30He was dead.
09:30He was dead.
09:32We have a great back.
09:33He was dead.
09:35He was dead.
09:37He was dead.
09:39He was dead.
10:04This is a sign to you.
10:08The court of gods has done this.
10:26Do not resist him.
10:30Heed my words.
10:34I will not let you.
10:38I am Pharaoh.
10:43I will never let your people go.
10:49You tell that you are God.
10:55All I see is a guilty old man playing with snakes and shadows.
11:02And listen, Moses, to the cry of your river.
11:08This comes from the Nile, yes?
11:10Yes, yes, yes.
11:11The very place my grandmother drew you from slavery.
11:15You call this river a god.
11:16You worship it as the source of your life.
11:19Watch.
11:21What the Lord will make of your gods.
11:30Let them out.
11:31Let them out.
11:49Let them out.
11:51The right man who suffered.
11:52Yet Pharaoh's heart was hardened.
11:54And he turned his anger upon Israel.
11:59Their burdens grew heavier, and the name of Moses became a curse upon their lips.
12:06Since you can, our burden has only grown.
12:12Whips fall heavier.
12:17My son was beaten to death because you dared to speak to Pharaoh.
12:24So the Lord sent more signs, each one a judgment against the gods of Egypt.
12:32Frogs rose from the waters, filling the streets and homes.
12:40Gnats and flies covered the land.
12:45Their livestock was struck with disease.
12:50And even their bodies churned against them, afflicted with painful boils.
13:04Moses, you have made my people suffer.
13:08Now you're the sooner I swear.
13:15So God sent fire and ice from the heavens.
13:21Locusts avour what remained.
13:25And the deep and oppressive darkness fell over the land.
13:37With each sign Pharaoh begged Moses for mercy, then hardened his heart and would not relent.
13:43Get out!
13:47So, the Lord gave him over to his bride and brought a final judgment upon Egypt.
13:57You, Moses, you promised us deliverance.
14:00Yet all we have is judgment!
14:07Judgment is coming.
14:08That much is true.
14:14Tonight.
14:17Each household is to take a lamb without blemish.
14:23Slaughter it at twilight.
14:26Put some of the blood on doorposts and lintels of your houses.
14:32Moses, an angel of death, will pass through the land to strike down all the firstborn of Egypt.
14:42When he sees the blood, he will pass over you.
14:46You expect us to trust the blood of the lamb?
14:49I expect you to trust the God!
14:56You sent me to you.
14:59The blood is for you to remember that life is poor to the price.
15:04Redemption comes through sacrifice.
15:08Shhhh.
15:10Shhh.
15:13Shhh.
15:17Shhh.

17:02No, your bride did this.
17:06Your God does miracles.
17:08You raise my boy now.
17:10You raise my boy!
17:14Moses.
17:15Moses, wait.
17:17Wait.
17:18Wait.
17:19If any part of you is still Egyptian,
17:24that's still my uncle.
17:29Just raise my boy, please.
17:34We saved you from the river.
17:36Raise my boy!
17:38You raise him now!
17:41Moses, turn around and save my boy!
17:45I am a messenger only, and I have no such power.
