Moses and the ten commandments - The Beginners Bible

[Music] do you know how the world began how god created it by hand from mighty mountains to the raging sea to every leaf on every single tree it's in the holy book just open up and take a look it's a story for young and all the greatest [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the greatest [Music] many years ago in a land called egypt there lived a very mean king egyptian kings were called pharaohs [Music] [Music] uh-huh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] faster better more the pharaoh made all of the people of israel living in egypt work as slaves they had to build the buildings and lift many heavy things they had no time to rest and little to eat they were not free and they were very unhappy [Music] but the worst thing of all was one day the pharaoh decided that the firstborn sons of the israelites would be killed oh no they won't get my baby i'll find some way to save him jacob the mother of moses decided to float her baby down the river shh don't be afraid i won't let the pharaoh hurt you your sister miriam will be right here to make sure you're safe [Music] what's that a baby [Music] oh this poor baby needs a home i'll take him to the palace and take care of him there excuse me princess if you need a nurse for the baby i know a good one who lives nearby her name is jochebed thank you bring her to the palace [Music] they named the baby moses and he was raised in the pharaoh's palace as an egyptian but jochebed was near moses while he was a child to teach him right from wrong [Music] moses time for your lessons now did you do your homework sure i did when i went out this morning i saw a slave master hitting one of the israelites he was wrong moses all people should be treated with respect and jochebed taught him that the israelites in egypt were unhappy because they were not free many years later when moses grew up to be a strong young man he came upon some egyptians who were treating people very poorly [Music] you're lazy get up get up and get back to work right now or else leave him alone you shouldn't treat anyone like that he deserves it he's pretending he's hungry and tired because he's too lazy to work i'm teaching him a [Music] it was very unusual for someone to help an israelite like that everyone told each other what happened moses was sure he had done the right thing but he knew the pharaoh would be very angry [Music] so moses left egypt all by himself knowing that he was really an israelite he wanted to go to another land where he would not have to see his people be treated so badly [Music] after traveling for 40 days moses found himself in the land of midian [Music] in midian moses got married and had a family he lived in midian for so long that he almost forgot about egypt and about the poor israelites until one day moses was looking after a flock of sheep up in the hills and it was there that he saw an amazing sight [Music] come here little guy i'll get you [Music] now i've got you huh moses come closer uh who's there god the israelites in egypt are unhappy because they are not free go to the pharaoh and tell him to let my people go why have you chosen me don't be afraid i will be with you but will they believe me i will give you signs to show the people that i am with you throw your staff on the ground now reach down and pick it up by the tail [Music] trust me the people will believe you now go [Music] and so moses returned to egypt to do what god said [Music] are you moses i have heard about you what are you doing back here after all these years i am here because god sent me he wants you to free the people of israel oh he does does he too bad for him who is this god anyway i've never heard of him have you no sir your most royal wonderful highness well then this god of yours must not exist right yes your most royal wonderful kindness right you there come here we're too nice to the israelites after all they have a big strong god on their side tell my slave masters not to give them any more straw for the bricks they make from now on they have to find their own straw yes your most royal wonderful i said go don't try and tell me what to do i'm the pharaoh it's time for your bath your royal highness ah [Music] i won't give up that easily [Music] and so moses returned god wants you to let the israelites go free [Music] haven't we already done this it'll take a miracle before i listen to another word you're saying see the power of god the only true and living god [Music] oh silence nothing but foolish tricks besides watch this [Music] think twice before you try to trick me again i am not trying to trick you i am warning you god can perform many miracles [Music] that proves nothing get out of my sight i'll be back and the next morning moses did come back pharaoh let the israelites go free if you do not god will let plagues happen to egypt the plagues will bring very bad things no see for yourself the power of god [Music] it is blood [Music] just another magic trick ugh go away [Music] you again what do you want now let my people go if you don't god will let frogs come all over the land frogs will sleep in your bed and eat your food and frogs i love frogs why when i was a little boy ah never mind about that right now who cares about a few frogs get out of here [Music] find moses and bring him to me now you make the frogs go away do you promise to let the israelites go free yes yes just get rid of these pesky things [Music] god made the frogs go away but the pharaoh didn't keep his promise he did not free the people of israel so god allowed more plagues to happen in egypt [Music] god let lots and lots of gnats come to egypt they flew everywhere [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] flies flew everywhere [Music] but the pharaoh still wouldn't let the israelites go so the animals got very sick and then boils grew on the skins of the egyptians [Music] and terrible hail fell down from the skies [Music] and the locusts came [Music] and ate their clothes [Music] next everything was as dark as night for three whole days each time a plague happened to egypt the pharaoh promised to let the people of israel go free but each time he changed his mind and broke his promise now will you let the people of israel leave no i will not i've tried to warn you but you won't listen please hear me now or you'll be very sorry the last plague will be the worst the firstborn sons of the egyptians will die [Music] what is your god done he has taken my son from me leave egypt at once and take your people with you [Music] moses told the israelites to get ready to leave egypt right away he knew the pharaoh might change his mind again so they packed and left as fast as they could i can't believe we're actually going it's just as moses promised a land where we could be free it seems like a dream but it's not a dream at last we're on our way home [Music] trusting moses knows his way singing as we go mighty moses and the [Music] mighty israelites what an amazing sight leading us all to the promised land the day has done to journey [Music] moses and the israelites thousands of sandals in the sand mighty moses what an amazing sight leading a song to the promised land hand in hand to desert sand answering [Music] mighty moses and the israelites [Music] moses what an amazing sight leading us [Music] and so finally the people of israel left egypt on the way to their homeland the land of freedom by day a pillar of smoke guided them [Music] and by night a pillar of fire showed them the way [Music] but back at the palace the pharaoh had changed his mind again i was a fool to let them go who will build our pyramids and grow our food and and fan me when it is warm we must get the israelites back call my chariot in the meantime the israelites had reached the red sea [Music] moses look behind us the pharaoh's army [Music] they'll be here soon oh no moses what have you done to us we would have been better off living unhappily in egypt rather than dying here in the desert don't be afraid god will protect us don't hurry moses rest tonight tomorrow morning raise your hand and stretch out your staff over the sea it on dry land [Music] [Music] stop we will stay here till morning then we'll recapture them and when morning came moses stood by the sea and waved his hand over the waters [Music] [Music] and the sea parted just as god had promised come on follow me [Music] after them [Music] [Music] here they come again what are we going to do just wait then the sea fell upon the egyptian army and stopped them thank you god for saving us the israelites passed through the sinai desert on their way to the land of israel [Music] when they were hungry god sent them food [Music] mother look what is it it was sweet tasty bread that god had sent to feed the people the israelites called it manna which meant what is it [Music] when the israelites were thirsty god sent them water [Music] i want milk instead [Laughter] [Music] when the israelites reached mount sinai in the middle of the desert they set up camp near the foot of the mountain it was time for god to give the people his laws [Music] [Music] [Music] what is happening moses what does god want god is calling me i'm sure he has great plans for us [Music] i must go ahead [Music] and moses climb to the top of the mountain i am ready for you i have rules that i want to give the people of israel if they follow them i will protect the people chisel out two stones and i will write them down always respect your father and mother do not kill anybody do not steal anything god gave many other laws he also told moses how to build the home of worship where the israelites would pray to god god also told moses that everybody should rest on the seventh day just like he did when he created the world [Music] [Music] thank you god [Music] and this is how moses led the people of israel back to their homeland with the power of god and his sacred laws these laws are called the ten commandments throughout the long journey god helped moses guide the israelites
