Script Summary:

Moses was born at a time when Pharaoh wanted Hebrew baby boys killed. His mother hid him in a basket on the Nile, and Pharaoh’s daughter rescued and raised him in the palace. Moses later fled Egypt after defending a Hebrew slave, settling in Midian and marrying Zipporah. God spoke to him from a burning bush, telling him to return and free the Israelites. With his brother Aaron’s help, Moses confronted Pharaoh, and God sent plagues to show His power. After the final plague, Pharaoh let the Israelites go. They escaped through the Red Sea, where God parted the waters for them. Finally, they traveled to Mount Sinai, and God gave them the Ten Commandments, teaching them how to live as His special people.
