00:00The Book of Exodus, the story of Moses, a legacy of faith.

00:05Long ago, in the land of Egypt, a powerful pharaoh ruled with an iron fist.

00:11But how did the Israelites come to be in Egypt?

00:14It all began with a man named Joseph, a son of Jacob,

00:18who was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers.

00:22Through divine wisdom, Joseph rose to power as Pharaoh's right-hand man,

00:27saving Egypt from famine.

00:29Because of him, his family, the Israelites,

00:32were welcomed into Egypt and settled in the land of Goshen.

00:35As the years passed, the Israelites multiplied and thrived.

00:40But a new pharaoh, who did not remember Joseph's deeds, saw them as a threat.

00:46Fearing they would rise against him, he made a terrifying decree.

00:51Every newborn Israelite boy must be killed.

00:54Jochebed, a woman from the tribe of Levi, could not bear to lose her child.

01:00With the help of her daughter Miriam, she placed her baby boy in a basket

01:04and sent him down the mighty Nile River, praying that God would protect him.

01:10By divine fate, the basket was found by Pharaoh's own daughter, Bithia.

01:14She took pity on the crying infant and named him Moses, saying,

01:20Because I drew him out of the water.

01:23Raising him as her own in the royal palace, she ensured he had the finest education and upbringing.

01:29But Moses always felt different.

01:32He saw the suffering of his people, and his heart ached for them.

01:36One day, in a moment of anger, he struck an Egyptian who was beating an Israelite.

01:43Fearing for his life, Moses fled into the wilderness.

01:47In the land of Midian, Moses came across a well,

01:50where he saw the daughters of a priest named Jethro being mistreated by shepherds.

01:55With courage, Moses stepped in and defended them, helping them draw water for their flock.

02:00When Jethro heard of Moses' kindness, he invited him into his home.

02:06In time, Moses found peace in Midian and married one of Jethro's daughters, Zipporah.

02:12He became a shepherd, tending to his father-in-law's flocks,

02:16unaware that his greatest journey was still ahead of him.

02:20Then, something extraordinary happened.

02:23As Moses led his flock near Mount Horeb, also known as Mount Sinai,

02:28a bush burned with fire, but was not consumed.

02:32From it, a voice called out,

02:35Moses, take off your sandals, for you stand on holy ground.

02:38It was the voice of God.

02:40He commanded Moses to return to Egypt and demand Pharaoh release the Israelites.

02:46Though afraid, Moses obeyed.

02:48Let my people go.

02:50But Pharaoh's heart was hard.

02:52He refused.

02:53So, God demonstrated his power through signs and wonders.

02:58First, he turned Moses' staff into a serpent before Pharaoh,

03:03but Pharaoh's magicians imitated the miracle, and he remained unmoved.

03:08Then came the ten plagues.

03:10First, the waters of Egypt turned to blood,

03:13killing fish and making the river undrinkable.

03:16Then, an infestation of frogs swarmed the land,

03:20invading homes and beds.

03:21Next, gnats and flies filled the air, tormenting the people.

03:27A terrible disease struck the Egyptians' livestock,

03:29killing their animals.

03:31Then, painful boils broke out on people and animals alike.

03:36After that, hail rained down like fire,

03:39destroying crops and buildings.

03:41Locusts swarmed across Egypt,

03:43devouring what little was left.

03:45Then, an unnatural darkness covered the land for three days,

03:49a darkness so thick it could be felt.

03:52Yet, Pharaoh's heart remained hardened.

03:55Then, came the final and most devastating plague,

03:59the death of every Egyptian firstborn.

04:01But God provided a way for the Israelites to be spared.

04:06He instructed them to mark their doorposts with the blood of a lamb.

04:10That night, the angel of death passed over their homes,

04:15but in every Egyptian household,

04:17the firstborn perished,

04:20including Pharaoh's own son.

04:23Only then did Pharaoh finally relent.

04:26Pharaoh could bear no more.

04:28He finally let the Israelites go,

04:30and in their departure,

04:32the Egyptians, fearing further punishment,

04:35gave them gold, silver, and fine clothing,

04:39gifts that would sustain them on their journey.

04:42Freedom at last.

04:44But God did not leave his people alone in the wilderness.

04:48By day, he led them with a pillar of cloud,

04:50guiding them through the desert.

04:53By night, the pillar became fire,

04:55providing light and protection.

04:58Pharaoh, however, changed his mind.

05:01He sent his army to chase them down.

05:03Trapped at the edge of the Red Sea,

05:05fear filled their hearts.

05:07But Moses lifted his staff,

05:09and the waters parted.

05:11The Israelites crossed safely,

05:13but when Pharaoh's army followed,

05:15the sea crashed down,

05:17swallowing them whole.

05:19Moses had led his people to freedom.

05:21But the journey was not without trials.

05:24As they wandered the desert,

05:26the people grew hungry and cried out to God.

05:28In his mercy,

05:30he provided for them.

05:32Each morning,

05:33manna, bread from heaven,

05:35covered the ground like dew,

05:36and in the evening,

05:38quail filled their camp,

05:39giving them meat to eat.

05:41Through every trial,

05:42God remained with them,

05:44teaching them to trust in his provision.

05:46As they camped at the base of Mount Sinai,

05:49Moses ascended the mountain

05:51to speak with God.

05:53There,

05:54God gave him the Ten Commandments,

05:56laws to guide his people in righteousness.

06:00But while Moses was away,

06:01the people grew impatient.

06:04They crafted a golden calf,

06:06a false god,

06:07and worshipped it,

06:08forgetting the one who had freed them.

06:10When Moses saw their betrayal,

06:12he shattered the tablets in anger.

06:14But God,

06:16in his mercy,

06:17gave them another chance.

06:19Moses returned to the mountain

06:21and received the commandments once more,

06:24sealing a covenant between God and his people.

06:27Though they had stumbled,

06:28the Israelites would continue their journey,

06:31learning,

06:31growing,

06:32and preparing for the land promised to them.

06:35But the journey was not over.

06:37For forty years,

06:38they wandered the desert,

06:39learning to trust God.

06:41And in time,

06:41they would reach the land promised to them.

06:44Moses' story is one of courage,

06:46faith,

06:47and the power of believing

06:48in something greater than fear.
