Prince of Egypt

The story of The Prince of Egypt was very inspiring. It’s about the life of Moses. Long ago in Egypt, all new born male Hebrews are to be killed. In order to save Moses, his mother put him in a basket and the queen found him along the river. Moses grew up with his foster brother, Ramses. They were really close and living happy and wealthy. One day, Moses met his siblings. His sister insisted that Moses is her brother, and that he is a Hebrew. Of course Moses wouldn’t believe her, but she sang a lullaby that her mother sang when he was still a baby. He realized that he was really a Hebrew when he dreamt that same night. Looking at the Israelite slaves suffering, Moses killed an Egyptian. He didn’t really mean it, and went away ashamed and confused. In the dessert, he found a burning bush. It was God commanding him to save the Israelites from the Egyptians. So Moses went back to Egypt, and was welcomed by Ramses. Moses asked to free the Israelites, but that’s just one thing Ramses wouldn’t do. Moses then performed a miracle by turning his staff to a snake; but they were not impressed. Moses still tried to convince Ramses, and performed more miracles. Guided by God, Moses and the Israelites headed to Israel which was a sea away. God helped them by dividing the sea into half in order for them to pass. In Mount Sinai, God appeared and gave them the Ten Commandments. If people will follow it, they will be able to live in the promise land with Abraham as their father.

The story of Exodus really touched my heart; from the sacrifice of his mother, to the friendship of the brothers, and to the faith of Moses. If I were Moses, I would do the same thing. Growing up as an Egyptian and later finding out that I’m not.. it’s just heartbreaking and heart-warming at the same time; knowing that I’m really blessed to be alive. The moment God appeared before Moses, he questioned God. He told him that he couldn’t do what God is commanding him to do, but God has the power over
