Set adrift on the Nile in a reed-braided basket to flee the Pharaoh’s decree to slaughter all firstborn Hebrew males, the infant Moses escapes death and is secretly taken into the palace to be raised by the Pharaoh’s sister, Bithiah. Chosen to become the ailing Pharaoh’s successor, the young Prince Moses is disliked by his haughty step-brother Ramses; however, when the once-abandoned child discovers his origins, he is banished, only to become God’s personal messenger. Now, Moses’ heavy mission is to return to Egypt with God’s Ten Commandments to finally liberate his enslaved people and to lead them into the Promised Land.
