The Yoke / A Romance of the Days when the Lord Redeemed the Children of Israel from the Bondage of Egypt

The narrative interweaves the lives of an Egyptian sculptor and his father with rising tension between the ruling court and the enslaved Israelite community as royal building projects, religious rivalry, and court intrigue escalate. Episodes trace diplomatic maneuvers, personal sacrifices, and divine interventions that bring plagues, the death of the firstborn, and a mass departure, culminating in a dramatic sea crossing and the refugees’ journey toward a promised land. Scenes alternate between palace politics, everyday life in Hebrew settlements, and desert travel, exploring themes of faith, freedom, loyalty, and cultural collision while following multiple perspectives through ritual, conspiracy, and sacrifice.
