In this video, we see the Israelites in Egypt growing ever more numerous and strong. However, a new Pharaoh who does not know Joseph begins to oppress the people and eventually even orders the killing of all Hebrew baby boys. Yet God preserves Moses and allows him to grow up in Pharaoh’s court. When Moses reaches adulthood, he visits his Hebrew kinsmen and witnesses their harsh oppression. Upon seeing an Egyptian mistreating an Israelite, he intervenes and kills the Egyptian. When his deed becomes known, Moses is forced to flee Egypt. In Midian, Moses finds refuge with the family of Jethro, marries his daughter Zipporah, and starts a family of his own. Yet while Moses lives far from Egypt, the people of Israel continue to suffer under slavery. In their distress, they cry out to God for help. God hears their cry, does not forget His covenant, and is already preparing to deliver His people.
