The Old Testament - Episode 16: Fire in The Desert

Prince Moses learns about the pitiful condition of the Jews in Egypt and discovers that he, too, is a Jew. He does what he can to help his brothers and, at a certain point, after killing an Egyptian to save the life of a Jew, flees from Egypt seeking refuge in the desert in the land of Midian. Here, he marries one of the seven daughters of Jethro, a priest and shepherd, embracing the nomad's life. Years pass, until one day, while Moses is tending his father in law's flock a nearby bush catches fire, but the flames nearby don’t seem to consume it. Astonished, Moses approaches the bush, but God stops him: “Do not come near, put off your shoes from your feet for the place on which you are standing is holy ground." God entrusts him with a mission: to bring His people out of Egypt. God’s words are clear and, in spite of his apprehension, Moses sets out for Egypt.
