As they walked back to the flock, the lamb whispered in his ear. Moses, you are very kind. There are people who are slaves in a place that is not very far from here. The Pharaoh, who is ruler of that country, is forcing parents and children to make brick and use them to build cities. Moses knew that slavery robs people of their freedom.
Slaves have no time to relax, think, sing, read or enjoy a meal.
Slavery is cruel. The slaves must be given their freedom. Moses made sure that the little lamb and all the other sheep were safe. Then he took his staff and set out to help the slaves. When Moses reached the hill country, he knew he was close to the Land of Slavery because he could hear sounds of building, and crying too.
