Moses (TV Mini Series 1995–1996)

Storyline

A retelling of the Bible story. Pharaoh Ramses II decrees the death of all Hebrew children, but Moses, placed in a basket in the Nile by his mother, is taken by a royal Princess and raised as the brother of the heir to the throne of Egypt, "Mermefta". Moses is called by God to lead his people out of Egypt to the promised land, an even known as the Exodus. A very reluctant prophet, feeling unworthy of the call, Moses accepts the task. After a series of plagues, "Mermefta" agrees to let the Hebrews go. With second thoughts, he pursues them to annihilation of his army in the parting of the Red Sea. Starvation is averted by manna from heaven, the ten commandments are given the people through Moses, they go astray with worship of the golden calf. Forty years of wandering in the wilderness, until finally they reach what will be their home (which Moses lives to see, but not to enter).
