Although a Jew, he was raised and educated in Pharaoh’s courts as Egyptian royalty. Echoes of his people’s story haunted him, and seeing their treatment as slaves, caused buried passion to suddenly rise within him. In a split-second Moses went from prince of Egypt to enemy of the state, having killed an Egyptian. The very next day he was fleeing for his life as a condemned murderer, leaving behind the comforts and benefits of the court for an undetermined destination. There, for forty years, he would build a new life, in hiding, far from Pharaoh’s reaches.
