The Ten Commandments Page #13

in the new land.

Children shall eat of its fruit.

Do you hear that?

Do you hear that?!

You have a strong new son!

And he brought forth the people

with joy and gladness.

He bore them out of Egypt

as an eagle bears its young

upon its wings.

But again,

Pharaoh 's heart was hardened.

How many more days and nights

will you pray?

Does he hear you?

Dread Lord of Darkness,

are you not greater

than the god of Moses?

I have raised my voice to you,

yet life

has not come to the body of my son.

- Hear me!

- He cannot hear you.

He's nothing but a piece of stone

with the head of a bird.

He will hear me.

I am Egypt.

Egypt?

You are nothing.

You let Moses kill my son.

No god can bring him back.

What have you done to Moses?

How did he die?

Did he cry for mercy

when you tortured him?

Bring me to his body!

I want to see it, Rameses!

I want to see it!

This is my son.

He would have been Pharaoh.

He would have ruled the world.

Who mourns him now?

Not even you.

All you can think of is Moses.

You will not see his body.

I drove him out of Egypt.

I cannot fight the power of his god.

His god?

The priests say that Pharaoh is a god,

but you are not a god,

you are even less than a man.

Listen to me, Rameses,

you thought I was evil when I went

to Moses, and you were right.

Shall I tell you what happened,

Rameses?

He spurned me,

like a strumpet in the street.

I, Nefretiri, Queen of Egypt!

All that you wanted from me

he would not even take.

Do you hear laughter, Pharaoh?

Not the laughter of kings,

but the laughter of slaves

on the desert!

Laughter?

Laughter?

My son, I shall build your tomb

upon their crushed bodies!

If any escape me, their seed shall

be scattered and accursed forever!

My armor. War crown.

Laughter?

I will turn the laughter of these

slaves into wails of torment!

They shall remember the name of Moses,

only that he died

under my chariot wheels!

Kill him with your own hands.

Let the trumpet sound.

Alert the watch towers.

Assemble all the chariots

at the city gate.

- I obey!

- Nura and Thebes will draw my chariot.

I will bring you back

your temple treasure!

Bring it back to me

stained with his blood.

I will.

To mingle with your own!

Nura, Thebes!

Guards salute!

Hail!

Hail!

Remember your first-born!

- Death to the slaves!

- Death to the slaves!

- Death to their god!

- Death to their god!

Hail!

Forward!

Do you hear thunder? Over the sea?

No, it comes from the desert.

That's the thunder of horses!

Look! Pharaoh's chariot!

We're trapped against the sea!

Caleb, warn the north tents!

Joshua?

That's Joshua's horn!

All men to the pass!

Get carts, wagons! Form a barrier!

- What's the alarm, Joshua?

- Pharaoh's chariot!

Block the pass with carts!

Women and children, to the sea!

- Bring shovels, pounders, mattocks!

- Hear me! Hear me!

Can mattocks stop arrows?

Will your little carts

stop Pharaoh's Chariots?

You women,

do you want to see your men killed?

- Moses!

- Joshua, what is it?

Pharaoh's chariots!

I've ordered men to block the pass!

- How can we fight chariots?

- Nothing can stop them!

Order the men to move back, Joshua.

Move back? Where? Into the sea?

Into the hand of God.

Deliverer?

Yes, he has delivered you to death!

Run! Run!

Look! Look!

Blame Moses for this!

Deliver him to Pharaoh!

Stone him! Stone him!

The god of Moses is a poor general,

to leave him no retreat.

Ten times you have seen

the miracles of the Lord!

And still you have no faith!

He's a false prophet

who delivers you to death!

Stone him! Stone him!

Listen to Moses!

He speaks God's will!

Forward!

- They will stop for me!

- A charging chariot knows no rank.

Was it because

there were no graves in Egypt

that you took us away

to die in the wilderness?

Why must we die?

Fear not!

Stand still,

and see the salvation of the Lord!

- A pillar of fire!

- It is the work of God!

Through it!

No, great one!

You cannot breach the fire of God!

Gather your families and your flocks.

We must go with all speed.

Go where? To drown in the sea?

How long will the fire

hold Pharaoh back?

- Will it hold?

- After this day,

you shall see his Chariots no more!

No! You'll be dead under them!

The Lord of Hosts

will do battle for us!

Behold his mighty hand!

The wind opens the sea!

God opens the sea

with the blast of his nostrils.

Lead them through

the midst of the waters.

His will be done!

He opens the waters before them,

and he bars our way with fire.

Let us go from this place.

Men cannot fight against a god!

Better to die in battle with a god,

than live in shame.

Praise God and down into it!

God has delivered us

from the son of Pharaohs.

Jacob cherished

His son Joseph

Many colors was his coat

- Help us!

- Never mind the wheel!

Pull! Pull for your lives!

Is your life worth so much?

Jacob cherished

His son Joseph

Many colors was his coat

God of A 'Dram

Isaac, Jacob

Ever bless us with Thy hand

Get tow-lines on the midwife's cart!

Save the bread if you can!

Ben Caleb! Order all wagons

to turn clear!

Moses! Stand on the rock where

the people can see you and have hope!

Above us!

Help that wagon!

The fire dies!

Sound the pursuit!

Chariots, halt!

This is work for a butcher,

not a Pharaoh.

Destroy them all.

But bring Moses to me alive.

Level spears! Forward!

- Here! Take him!

- Wait for me! Wait for me!

Grandfather, look,

the horses are coming!

The chariots! Run! Run!

Run for your lives!

Better to serve the Egyptians

than to die here!

Who shall withstand the power of God?

Thou didst blow with Thy winds,

and the sea covered them!

Who is like unto Thee, O Lord?

From everlasting to everlasting,

Thou art God!

The Lord is one! The Lord is one!

Before you strike,

show me his blood on your sword.

You couldn't even kill him.

His god... is God.

And Moses led Israel

from the Red Sea

into the wilderness of Sinai.

And they camped

before the holy mountain.

And when the people saw

that Moses delayed

to come down out of the mountain,

they gathered themselves together.

Ask Aaron. Could anyone live on that

fiery summit for 40 days and 40 nights?

- Yes! By the will of God!

- Who knows the will of God?

Do you? Do I?

Or you, Sephora? His grieving wife.

She came back among us

to find her husband.

But he's dead.

Even she cannot hope that he lives!

Moses went up into the forbidden

ground to receive God's law!

Yes, but he's not returned!

We share your pain. We sympathize.

But will sympathy lead us to this

land flowing with milk and honey?

- Now, we have no leader!

- Don't be fooled!

Moses will return!

Would a God

who's shown you such wonders

let Moses die

before his work is done?

- His work is done.

- His mother!

So beautiful is the hope of a mother!

But there are other mothers among you!

What will become of your children?

- We must have faith!

- Faith in what? You, Aaron?

Can you lead us to this land of promise?
