Ancient Egypt and Sinai

Zusammenfassung

Moses, a Hebrew foundling raised by Pharaoh's daughter, has to flee from the Egyptian court after having killed an oppressive overseer. In the desert, he hears the voice of God, announcing his people's liberation from slavery and making Moses his messenger. To end the plagues God has sent over Egypt, Pharaoh first allows Moses and the Israelites to leave his country, but then furiously follows them up with his warriors. The Egyptians perish in the Red Sea, whereas Moses and his people safely make their way through the waters. A voice from above declares to the Hebrews the Ten Commandments. But the people suffer from hunger, and when Moses climbs Mount Sinai to receive the tablets of the law, the envious priest Korah stirs up the people to rise against their leader. The situation gets out of control and the Israelites build up, and worship an idol. Finally, the traitors go to hell and the people repent and follow Moses to the promised land over the river Jordan.
