The narrative retells the life of Moses from his hidden infancy and adoption into the Egyptian court through his flight to Midian, years as a shepherd, and the encounter with a burning bush that commissions him to lead his people out of bondage. It follows his return to confront the rulers, the series of plagues, the dramatic escape across the sea, and the giving of the law at Sinai.
