"You would not destroy them, surely." "Please." "There!" "Down there!" "Help us!" "Please." "This way." "What if there were 10 righteous men in Sodom?" "Would you not save them?" "Lot, what are you doing?" "Who are these people?" "They need our help." "I'll do what I can for you." "Even if I find only 10," "I will save the whole city." "This way!" "Where can they be?" " Show yourselves!" " Show yourself!" "Mother." "Shh!" "What's that?" "They're behind the door!" "Over there!" " Open the door!" "Open the door!" " What do they want?" " Lot!" " Give us the strangers!" "Bring them out!" "They are guests in my house." "Let us pass!" "Let them be!" "Or we'll take you too!" "Show yourselves!" "Send them out!" "Step aside." " We must go."

"You must get away." "The city is being punished." "Keep moving." "Come on!" "Keep moving." "Keep moving." "Come on." "Do not look back at the city of sin!" "Believe in God." "Do not look back!" "Lot." "Come on!" "Don't look back!" "No!" "Lot's wife is turned into a pillar of salt... for disobeying God." "Lot and his daughters flee to the mountains, never to see Abraham again." "How is she?" "Oh." "Oh." "Oh!" "A boy." "Isaac." "As he promised." "Ooh!" "Your bread." "Eat your food, Ishmael." "Ishmael." "This way!" "Come on!" " I am!" " Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Ah." "Oh, good." "Sarah?" "What's the matter?" "That woman thinks her boy is going to inherit what rightfully belongs to Isaac." "What do you mean?" "Who is to be the first of all our tribe, Abraham... the first star of all those stars in the heavens?" "Our son... or hers?" "Sarah, I-Abraham." "Abraham!" "You decide!" "Mama." "Or let God decide." "Be brave." "Assured by God that they will survive," "Abraham sends Hagar and Ishmael into the wilderness." "Good-bye, Ishmael." "Oh, my boy." "My boy." "When you grow up," "God will bless you with many children." "Mmm." "Let me make you some breakfast, Isaac." "After years of struggle," "Abraham has learned that to be chosen by God... is a blessing and a test." "He must prove his faith... again and again." "A sacrifice." "No." "Have I not shown you enough faith?" "Isaac." "Eat up." "When you have children of your own, you'll want them to grow up as big and-." "Abraham?" "What's the matter?" "God wants a sacrifice." "My boy, come with me." "Hello." "Father, we have the firewood." "But where's the lamb?" "The Lord will provide a sacrifice, my son." "Did Abraham take a lamb?" "No, mistress." "Bring the wood." "Father?" "What are you doing?" "You're hurting me, Father." "Isaac, we must trust in God." "No." "Please." "No." "Please." "Please, Father." "Forgive me." "Please." "Abraham!" "A sacrifice." "Oh, my boy, my boy, my boy." "No." "No." "Isaac!" "Mother!" "Abraham has passed the ultimate test." "He will become the father of God's nation." "Now it's up to Isaac." "He will have a son called Jacob." "God will rename him Israel." "The promise of descendants as numerous as the stars... is coming true." "But famine forces the Israelites far from the promised land... to Egypt." "Here they are enslaved by Pharaoh." "Abraham and God become a distant memory, all his people reduced to beasts of burden," "except one." "Moses." "Next time on The Bible." " You're not going to fight again." " I can't refuse." "He's Pharaoh's son." "Fight me!" "I order you!" "Yaah!" " You're not one of us." " What's he talking about?" "You were born a slave." " Your people are out there, Moses." " No!" "Aaah!" " The Israelites." " Run!" "Welcome to your new life, Moses!" "You are nothing now!" "You are the God of Abraham." "I will do it." "I will set my people free." "So much suffering." "Please!" " Who are you?" " My name is Moses," "Joshua." "God has sent me to set you free." " Why are you here, Moses?" " Let my people go." "Freedom?" "They are free to choose." "Slavery or death!" "All my life I have been Pharaoh's." "I will never be a slave again." "Joshua, God is with us." "The Angel of Death is coming." "Go!" "And leave my land!" "And take your wretched God with you!" "The Egyptians-they're here." "Lord!" "Follow me!" "Bring me Moses!"
