"What are going to do about it?" "did you follow this man into the desert starve?" "truly, Moses is a great man, but... somewhere he has lost contact with God's will." "We must help him!" "Look!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Come get it!" "Hurry up!" "Come!" "Come!" "Moses, Stop the fire." "Moses, help us!" "Moses, help us" "Moses, please Moses stop the fire!" "Aaron!" "Stop the fire!" "Moses!" "You have the power!" "Praying won't help!" "calm down." "Throw sand on the fire." "He can't help you now." "Praying won't help!" "Do something!" "help throw sand on the fire." "He cannot help you now." "Moses, help us." "help." "Stop the fire.." "Senior..." "Moses, stop the fire!" "Moses!" "Why do you lay the burden of all the people on me?" "Did I conceive these people?" "Did I gave birth to them?" "I cannot carry all these people alone." "For... they are too heavy for me." "Throw sand!" "Go ahead!" "We must stopped this fire!" "The people are waiting." "For what?" "For God to feed them." "God didn't lead us here to die, Moses." "Go to your tents." "Don't come out until the morning." "God himself will provide bread." "Bread?" "How?" "There's not a stalk of grain within a month's journey!" "Go into your tents." "Don't come out until morning." "Aaron..." "Look!" "What is this?" "Eat is." "delicious." "delicious." "Like coriander seed." "Sister!" "Gather it up." "Gather it up." "Man get some baskets and help to gather it up." "it is a gift from God." "We will call it Manna." "Manna?" "Yes." "The bread that the Lord has given you to eat." "Every morning you will gather as much as needed for a day" "You will receive this as a gift." "You'II take no more than is needed for a single day, because... each day the Lord will see to your needs." "if you lack faith in the Lord and take more, it will rot." "It will rot." "It will rot." "It will rot." "Now that you're free men, you may rest every seventh day." "This will be the Sabbath, and you will not have to work." "Sabbath?" "No work" "No work on the Sabbath?" "How can it be?" "You rest." "What does it mean?" "God says to me... there is no work on the Sabbath." "You will rest." "You will not gather Manna on that day." "But on the sixth day you will take a double ration... which will not rot." "No work, rest!" "Sabbath?" "No work?" "Rest?" "Remember this the next time you grow impatient with God, Zerak." "Do you expect us to live on bread alone?" "This day the Lord will send you meat." "Meat?" "We haven't seen meat since we left Egypt." "The Lord will send you meat." "And you will eat until it... comes out of your nostrils." "AII right." "Jethro." "Jethro!" "I have heard of all your God has done for you, Moses." "I had to come, see for my self." "God has been good to us." " How is Zipporah?" "She is well." "I miss her." "She understands, Moses." "She understands." "Liar!" "Such a liar." "You promised..." "You must abstain for thirty days." "You are liar..." "You must respect that." "Come closer." "Know in your heart that... as a parent, disciplines a child... so the Lord your God, must discipline you." "That all for today." "Moses must rest." "Tomorrow, tomorrow, Moses will hear your cases." "He must rest now, the sun is almost gone." "Why do you sit alone in judgment all day?" "I make know to them, the statutes and.... instructions of God, as you have seen." "What I have seen is the people feeding off you... and you allowing it to happen." "You have allowed it to happen." "Do you not love your brother?" "You have no right to ask such a question." "And you, none of you, have any right to let..." "Moses be destroyed by his own people." "Look at him, He can hardly stand." "Is this how your God rewards his servant?" "Jethro!" "Your tongue's too sharp..." "Jethro." "But, you speak the truth." "This task is too heavy for a single man, Moses?" "You God did not mean for you, to be his only voice." "Aaron, was called also by God." "listen to me and I will... give you council for a change." "You must look for men who fear your God." "And set these men as officers over the people." "Let them settle the small matters... bring to you only the important ones." "Now, if you do this ... you will be able to endure... and these people will go home in peace." "I wonder why it is so hard to listen to ..." "someone speak the truth?" "Do I speak the truth?" "How many times do you want me to say it?" "You're a hard teacher, Jethro." "Yes, you speak the truth." "These people are still learning... to live without the Iaw of their slave masters." "God will reveal his law to us." "But will you be ready?" "You can ask that?" "We travel the wilderness trusting in God's plan every day." "You traded an Egyptian slave owner for a taskmaster in the heavens?" "Profanity." "Laws are not sufficient by themselves." "The people must learn how to follow the Iaw without..." "Moses, or any leader." "They must learn to want to follow... without fear of any whip on their backs... on their soul." "To follow the Iaw!" "Because they are free not to." "When they learned that they will... truly be free." "until then, they are slave... are still slaves." "This is my dream, Jethro..." "To no Ionger be needed." "You are a wise man Moses." "I'II begin by choosing God-fearing men tomorrow... tonight." "I'II begin by choosing, Aaron." "Thank you for your council." "Where will you go now Moses?" "I believe god is leading us to Mount Sinai." "I wish you pure water and green grass." "As God wishes." "THREE MONTHS HAVE PASSED." "Mount Sinai!" "Where God first spoke to me." "In the burning bush." "God is calling... me up there." "Do you think I'II make it, Joshua?" "If God is calling you, Moses." "I wish he'd give me a better pair of sandals first." "Moses." "Moses!" "Moses, is coming!" "Moses!" "Moses, is coming!" "Come on!" "Moses." "Moses, Moses!" "Come on all!" "Moses!" "Hear now, oh israel!" "Hear the words of the lord." "Here his law." "God says to you..." ""You have seen what I did to the Egyptians... how I carried you on eagle's wind's and... brought you to me!" "if you will be faithful to me and... heed my covenant you shall... be my treasure possession... amongst all peoples."" "God says to you..." ""AII the earth is mine... but you shall be to me a... kingdom of priest... and a holy nation." "If you will obey my law... and heed my covenant!" "God says to you." "AII the words which the Lord, has spoken, we will obey." "We will obey!" "GIadIy!" "Did the Lord appear to you, Moses?" "Do you wish to hear his, voice yourselves?" "The people need to see that the... words is truly and not yours." "You doubt me , Zerak?" "if you would Iike to hear the words of the Lord yourselves... then you must prepare... and consecrated ." "Water, woman!" "The Lord said to me..." ""Have the people wash their clothes." "For three days they will, not lie with their wife ." "Prepare for the third day... when I come up upon Mount Sinai, in the sight of the people." "Purify your hearts, not only your your robes.." "For you wil be in the presence of God." "My task is almost complete, Aaron." "After today God will no Ionger need a mediator." "He'II speak directly to the people." "No, the people will always need a leader, Moses." "I'm not a Ieader.I'm an ordinary man who happened to be chosen." "But now that we are out of Egypt, through God's will and power." "My task is complete." "You stand assembled today before the Lord..... to God to enter into a covenant... which he is making with you." "In order that he may establish you as his people... and that he may be your God." "If you obey the commandment that God will give you today... then you will live and become... numerous then.... the Lord will bless you... in the land he has promised... to Abraham, Isaac and to Jacob." "God of Abraham!" "We wait upon you!" "Speak to us." "Moses!" "Moses!" "Do not let God speak to us!" "Moses!" "Moses!" "Do not let God speak to us!" "Do not be afraid!" "We will surely die, Moses." "Do not be afraid." "It is your God." "You speak to us, we will listen." "No!" "I am but a man." "If I can hear him so can you." "Do not be afraid." "Listen!" "Listen to his voice!" "You must hear him for us." "Moses!" "please!" "We will surely die!" "israel... hear the word of the Lord!" "The Lord has spoken and said:" ""I am the Lord your God who brought you out of bondage!" "You will have no other gods besides me!" "Yes, master!" "You will make no graven image... nor bow down nor serve any idol!" "You will not swear falsely in the name of the lord!" "Remember the Sabbath day..." "Remember the Sabbath day..." "and keep it holy!" "and keep it holy." "Remember the Sabbath day."

"You shall not hear false witness against your neighbor." "You shall not covet your neighbour's house... nor his wife nor anything that is your neighbour's!" "The Lord has spoken." "He has pronounced his law!" "The law of his covenant!" "Do you hear, oh israel!" "?" "Yes, Moses." "Do you hear, oh israel?" "Yes Moses." "Moses, Moses!" "Moses!" "help us, Moses!" "I must go back up the mountain... for God wishes to give you..." "His law." "You will stay here." "You will remain pure while you wait for my return." "Stay pure to receive the Iaw..." "He wiII-send-down." "Joshua!" "Joshua, come with me!" "Come with me!" "Purify your soul." "You have my blessing." "Purify your soul." "Joshua." "This is madness!" "Thirty days of nothing." "He had no food when he left." "Thank you, Korah." "Do I Iook so awful that my presence makes you silent?" "We were just gossiping." "Stop it, Korah!" "tell the man the truth!" "After all, isn't he the brother of Moses?" "So surely you can speak openly to me." "Moses has been gone four phases of the moon!" "Thirty days on Mount Sinai." "Long time without any food." "What do you want me to do?" "Go up after Moses?" "You know that's impossible." "We were told to wait and to keep pure." "Keep pure!" "We wash three times a day!" "But for what?" "Not for what, Zerak!" "But for who!" "?" "We'II do as Moses said and wait!" "Easy to say but hard to enforce!" "Aaron." "You do not shall to do this." "You didn't do it this." "It's not Iike t hat..." "people are nervous, restless." "You must do something" "Aaron?" "My turn." "We do nothing more than Moses instructed." "Have you forgotten your fear at the storm?" "No!" "Of course not!" "So we'II do as we promised, and wait." "For how long?" "Wait!" "Wait a minute please." "Listen!" "Wait." "Listen!" "please, listen." "Listen." "Let he speak, please." "silence!" "For the love of all you hold holy." "silence!" "32 days since Moses went up the mountain." "No sign of him." "Are we to wait here forever?" "Did we come up from Egypt to be abandoned in t he desert?" "No." "No." "." "Then go back." "always the same threat!" "Are those the only choices left to us... blind obedience to Pharoah... or even blinder obedience to an old man... who's probably perished in the wilderness of Mount Sinai?" "You right." "absolutely right." "Have you a third option, Zerak?" "Yes." "Stopping relying on Moses." "Yes!" "We don't even know what has become of him." "Let us find our own way of . seeking God" "Fashion our own tribute to God." "We will fashion his image with our own hands... so that we can see Him, touch Him." "You heard the voice of the Lord yourself." "He commanded us to have no idols." "Not an idol, Aaron." "A tribute fashioned... from the best gold, the best precious metals." "It can be our guide out of this wilderness." "He is right." "silence!" "Don't listen to them!" "God has been our savior so far." "He will remain with us if we're true to His word." "Yes... but..." "How long before you'II admit Moses that has died... that he perished on Mount Sinai?" "Moses is not dead." "only your faith in God..." "is dead." "hold your tongue, woman." "The people need something to believe, Aaron." "Yes, Aaron now!" "But a Graven image..." "A symbol!" "A guide to show the way!" "How long must we wait?" "Yes!" "Seven days..." "Why seven days?" "Seven days." "Give him seven days." "By then, Moses will return." "I'm sure of it." "Waiting seven days..." "Aaron!" "Aaron!" "Do you have any doubt in Moses' return?" "Are you ready to abandon the Lord's word this easily?" "I said seven day, Miriam and seven day it's been..." "Aaron!" "They'II do what they want, you know that." "Aaron!" "We have discussed this among ourselves, Aaron." "We have waited the seven days." "It's time for us to take matters into our own hands." "On your head be it, Zerak." "He's seen the truth!" "Gather up all your gold and gems." "Your earrings and bracelets." "Prepare the smiths metal workers." "blessed be this symbol, the great force that led us out to Egypt." "We consecrate your image... and ask you that you be with us now." "Great the birth of this image of the almighty." "celebrate its presence in our midst." "celebrate!" "celebrate!" "Is this how you serve God in my absence?" "I'm not Iike you, brother." "I'm... a weak man." "We thought you were dead, Moses." "What else were we to think?" "The word of the Iaw... the hand of the God!" "A path... to lead you out of the wilderness... of your own hearts." "No, Moses, no!" "If that was the word of god, Moses... it was easily shattered." "Can't you see!" "?" "Moses can't lead us out of here." "Let the calf go ahead of us... and let the other tribes see our wealth and power." "You have broken God's covenant." "It lies on the ground before you." "Those of you who would still choose to be with God... come stand by my side." "Now." "My brothers... sons of Levites." "Have you come this far only to turn your back on the Lord!" "Come stand with us!" "Stand with your tribesmen!" "Now." "Are you fools!" "?" "Do you wish to die in the desert?" "Stand with me and we will take our own freedom!" "Those of you who would be with God... stand with me!" "Those of you who would be delivered from the wilderness... stand with me!" "We'II break camp in the morning." "The calf will lead us!" "You're a fool, Moses." "We'II go on our own way!" "There's nothing you can do about it." "Let them... waste!" "Moses..." "Thus says the Lord:" ""Whosoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book"." "Do God's work." "Furify israel!" "Moses!" "No!" "You will grind the idol into dust!" "You will put it in the water!" "You will drink your evil ways... and taste its bitterness." "Where are you going?" "To seek God's forgiveness." "Maybe I can make atonement for your sins." "Moses!" "It's Moses!" "Lord!" "See the blood of the covenant... the Lord has made with you!" "Look upon your work." "israel." "This will be your sanctuary." "The place for meeting God." "The Lord bless you and keep you." "The Lord make his face to shine upon you!" "Shine and be gracious to you!" "The Lord lift up his countenance upon you... and give you peace." "Ten days since we left Sinai and still no end to this wandering." "And nothing to eat but this daily portion of manna!" "Fish!" "Do you remember the feast days in Egypt?" "When we ate fish till we burst?" "There was a richness of food there." "Even vegetables" "But they were only given to us at Pharoah's pleasure." "But at Ieast it was given to us." "Is that how you wish to live, Miriam?" "Eating or starving at another man's whim?" "I travel the desert at my brother's whim!" "D'you think I'm so arrogant that I decide the fate of israel?" "Do you think it was me who brought you out of Egypt?" "No, I think it was all of us." "Has the Lord spoken only through you, Moses?" "Mirian..." "Didn't god call you to the wilderness to meet Moses?" "It was you who gave the Lord a voice in front of the Pharoah." "Has God spoken only though Moses?" "Mirian?" "How can you say such a thing?" "He seeks no glory." "You stay out of this." "Mirian!" "AII this wandering is so aimless." "surely God knows the route to the land." "He's promised us!" "And when he sees we're ready, He'II deliver us there." "We're not ready?" "well, do you?" "If God brought us to Canaan tomorrow would we know what to do?" "would we be able to see His law is being followed?" "could we..." "organize ourselves?" "A kingdom of priests and a holy nation!" "We have wealth in our children... and a desire to settle on our land." "What more do we need?" "Brotherhood." "A willingness to serve more than our own stomachs." "Mirian, stop." "please, stop." "Mirian!" "Be still." "please!" "What is it, Mirian?" "hold still!" "Leprosy." "Oh, Lord!" "Do not punish her for a sin she has so foolishly committed." "Do not let her be consumed." "Lord please heal her." "Lord forgive her." "Lord don't do that." "God says she must be shut out of the camp for seven days." "After this time she may brought it again." "She will be healed then." "Take her!" "God is being merciful." "unclean!" "unclean!" "unclean!" "It's Moses, Mirian." "I've brought you some food." "Stay away, Moses." "I'm not afraid." "And you have to eat something." "Go away!" "please!" "Go away!" "No." "Why are you doing this?" "You are my sister." "I'm sorry you thought me so arrogant." "I spoke in anger, and god has punished me." "God talks to me." "Miriam... just as I am talking to you." "I don't deserve his presence." "Why did God choose me?" "don't let my sin punish booth of us." "God has chosen you and..." "I am your sister... and that's God's will." "Rejoice!" "." "Rejoice!" "AII this will be over." "We will journey to the promised land." "AII of us together." "So beautiful, Moses!" "What a Land!" "truly, Moses, we should never have doubted you." "There is the promised land." "We should never have doubted you." "You should always question me, Korah." "Never the word of the Lord." "As he promised us, so it shall be." "When will the Lord appear to lead us forward?" "He won't." "What?" "Look at our numbers!" "Are we expected to simply walk into Canaan and occupy it?" "How else will it be delivered into our hands?" "surely the Lord will do it for us!" "We must act for ourselves, EIiav, if we are to be a free people!" "Joshua, select twelve men, one from each of the tribes of israel." "Lead them across the plain into Canaan." "Look closely at everything you see.Then return with news." "caleb from the tribe of Judah!" "Sammua." "Nahbi." "Kabed, MieI..." "We will all die if we try to occupy this land." "So Nahbi... are you too scared... to lead us to the land God promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?" "I won't lead my family to a certain death or enslavement." "God will be with us!" "He will lead!" "Be reasonable Joshua!" "We've spent forty days here!" "And you saw the same things we saw!" "The cities are heavily fortified." "And the people are strong." "And they are so many, Joshua." "You think they have power against... the strength of the god who delivered us from Egypt... and destroyed the Pharoah's army?" "would you risk the life of your children on it, Joshua?" "Where the Lord leads there is no risk!" "Come!" "Madness, Joshua!" "Madness!" "You're talking like a madman." "Eating nothing but manna has destroyed your good sense." "The desert sun has rotted your brain." "Perhaps!" "But not my heart!" "Or my faith!" "My trust is in the Lord, my love is for God!" "Can you say the same, Nahbi?" "Are you so righteous that you'd risk our lives?" "I claim no special righteousness!" "only devotion to the words of God." "You've spent too long yapping at Moses's heel like a faithful dog." "No, no!" "It's time you thought for yourself." "He does!" "As do I." "And we know that the land God promised us..." "lies within our reach!" "Try it!" "And the Hittites would slice your hand off!" "They are mighty people!" "Armed, fortified and ten times our number." "And if the Lord is with us he will bring us there!" "Like lambs to slaughter!" "How can you doubt God?" "Look how far he's brought us!" "Look how far!" "Through the desert to a wilderness." "We've seen brother kill brother because of the golden calf!" "Every step of the way he has tested us over and over." "This is yet another trial, one that only few will survive!" "Korah speaks the truth." "This so called Promised Land... is already home to the Hittites, Jebusites." "What good is a land of milk and honey... if only a handful live to enjoy it?" "Moses is this another test?" "How can I know that?" "I tell what .the Lord commanded." "We go forward into the land he promised our forefathers." "I follow his word without question." "Then perhaps it is time for a new leader!" "One who cares enough about the safety of israel... to know God's answers to these questions!" "A new leader." "Yes!" "It's not too late to save ourselves." "Better to go back to Egypt than die or on an AmaIekite's word?" "At least there we knew what each day would bring." "A new leader!" "We've gone far enough with Moses and Aaron." "They cause us only hardship and suffering." "No!" "Hardship and suffering you brought upon yourselves." "You sinned against the Lord." "Sinned?" "Listens sons of israel?" "Moses always tell us it's our fault." "I stand with Korah!" "I say we anoint a new leader." "One who will take us back to Egypt." "And save us from destruction!" "Me!" "Look they draw weapons!" "Is this killing of one another never to end?" "Oh, Lord!" "The Lord has spoken." "Hear his words." "Ten times we challenged him... and ignored his bidding!" "Yet even now he... will spare you!" "AII of then men who have lived twenty years or more... will die in this desert." "Keep moving!" "Forward!" "For forty years... one for every day that His servants scouted that land." "Those who spoke against him will wander and die." "When the Iast of those who spurned God are fallen... then he will take their children... into that country given by his oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." "Of those who spoke... only Joshua and caleb will live to occupy... that land for they alone were of a different spirit." "FORTY YEARS HAVE PASSED." "AII is as it should be, Aaron." "Good." "then we have a home again." "A temporary one, of course." "How long before the Promised Land, Aaron?" "This drought is hurting us." "Moses says only weeks away." "So let us pray that our water lasts." "Here!" "Let me..." "." "No need!" "I'm not dead yet!" "Get about your business!" "But I can help..." "You're too clumsy." "Men aren't able to do this kind of work." "Moses!" "Aaron!" "It's Miriam!" "Come quickly!" "Speak to me, Miriam!" "Miriam?" "Not now, Lord not Miriam." "Miriam, my sister..." "Miriam... the light of my family." "Not now." "Not this close to home!" "sleep gently, sister." "And glory in God's goodness." "Without water we'II all follow her to the grave." "No!" "Which one of you said that?" "Even at my sister's burial you complain?" "Can't I even grieve without hearing your whining?" "Moses... they meant no harm..." "they simply..." "Worry for themselves." "We feel for your grief, Moses." "But our animals will soon die of thirst." "We only ask..." "You ignore all that God does for you... and you whine and you want!" "Where's the wonder at what you already have?" "Where's the wonder?" "Moses." "Come must ask for God's hand in this matter." "Let us ask God's hand!" "Come!" "Come!" "Now and kneel to God." "Dear Lord... the people need water." "Water." "Are you satisfied now?" "What do you mean?" "God did not speak to me." "He spoke to me." "Moses..." "Get out of my way!" "I command you to yield water to the people." "yield!" "yield!" "There's nothing you can do for him." "I have given you water!" "I heard your call, Lord." "I am here." "Yes." "I did." "I lacked faith." "I should have waited upon you Lord." "It was my anger, Lord." "My arrogance." "Moses..." "Miriam?" "you forget, brother..." "Miriam has passed on..." "Has the time come for me to join... our beloved sister, Miriam?" "That hour is know only to God." "But..." "Canaan... is within... grasp?" "Yes." "We saw... and lived... miracles.." "did we not my brother?" "The calf, Moses, the calf... will God remit my sins?" "surely, He already has." "Moses." "What can I do?" "How do I help you, Moses?" "By taking the torch from my hands, Joshua.." "Just as God decreed." "Moses." "You and I will journey... to Mount Nebo tomorrow." "Monte Nebo?" "To the top of the Pisgah." "But before that... you must be commissioned, Joshua." "God has named you to be in authority after me." "Be ready." "I have asked the Lord... god of the spirits of all flesh... to appoint someone over the congregation... who shall go out before them and come in before them... who shall lead them out and bring them in... so that the congregation of the Lord shall not be like... sheep without a shepherd." "And the Lord said, " take Joshua... for he is a man in whom dwells the spirit."" ""Lay hands upon him... and commission him."" "Be strong and bold... for you shall lead the israelites... into the land the Lord promised them!" "God will be with you!" "Sit me down on a rock, Joshua." "The land the Lord promised... is just on the other side of this mountain, Joshua." "Yes, Moses." "And we are ready." "God has said to me:" ""This is the land that I swore to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying..." "I will give this to your descendants."" "You have achieved the great task the Lord put before you." "The Lord... also said this to me:" ""You may view the land from a distance... but you shall no enter it."" "This cannot be!" "you are the servant of the Lord." "God has said this to me." "surely if you plead with god, he will hear you." "I have..." "No, Joshua, this is as it should be." "Why?" "Because I was arrogant, Joshua." "I... struck the rock twice for God's water." "I did not trust God to reveal... his holiness before the eyes of the people." "But, Moses..." "It was my anger speaking..." "And God cannot turn his eyes from that." "God cannot build a nation on anger." "I... going up... the mountain now, Joshua." "I shall not come down again." "I will come with you ." "No, no." "this is as it should be." "God is calling me home... now." "to be with him forever.." "The people must follow you now." "You are beloved of God." "But... the land of Canaan is only promised, Joshua." "Every inch will be a struggle." "You must now build a new israel based on the love of... the Iaw, not blind obedience to it." "You have the people well organized." "Are they ready to cross Jordan?" "More than ready." "Anxious to follow God's word." "Rejoice." "For I have accomplished my task." "It's fro you now to complete God's will.." "My job is finished." "God's will be done." "The Promised Land!" "Remember what Moses... the servant of God, instructed you!" "Beyond lies Canaan, the land promised our forefathers." "Now, for the second time... the Lord bids... you go forth!" "Go forth!" "From Jericho, to Shechem... the Lord led Israel into the land he... had promised their forefathers." "And at Shechem..." "Joshua placed a stone... at the foot of the sacred oak and said:" ""Let this stone be a witness against us... if ever we break faith with God."" "And the children of Israel ended their wandering."
