The Ten Commandments (siri TV)

The Ten Commandments adalah sebuah minisiri yang mensandiwarakan cerita Musa berasaskan bible.

Sebagai seorang bayi, ibu Nabi Musa, Jochebed, menyelamatkannya dari perintah Firaun yang menyuruh semua bayi lelaki Yahudi yang baru lahir harus dibunuh. Lalu Jochebed meletakkannya dalam sebuah bakul dan dihanyutkan ke Sungai Nil. Dia dijumpai oleh anak perempuan Firaun, Bithia dan diasuh di istana. 

Pada beberapa waktu kemudian, Bithia melahirkan seorang anak lelaki Menerith, dan mereka diasuh sebagai adik beradik. Musa dibesarkan mengetahui bahawa dia bukanlah adik-beradik sedarah Menerith, tetapi menunujukkan warisan sebenarnya (yang dia tidak dikenali) pada usia 10 tahun: dia dikenalkan kembali ke Jochebed, bapanya Amram, abangnya Aaron, dan kakaknya Miriam.

Some years later, Moses saves the honor of a Hebrew woman by killing an Egyptian.  When the body is discovered, Pharaoh orders Moses' arrest, but he is able to escape with the aid of Menerith.

After traveling days through the desert, he saves the seven daughters of Jethro from attackers.  In gratitude, Moses is given the choice of one of them to take for his wife.  After refusing, he is convinced by Zipporah to marry her.

Moses, wanting to know why he allows the Hebrews to be enslaved, climbs Mt. Sinai and is confronted by God in the form of a bush that burns but is not consumed.  God tells Moses that "I am who I am" and endows Moses with the knowledge to free the Hebrews.

Because Pharaoh Rameses refuses to free the slaves, Egypt is struck with ten plagues.  Only after the final one, during which his son dies, are the slaves freed.  However, Pharaoh decides to try to re-capture them.  

The former slaves are guided to the Red Sea by a cloud.  When the Egyptians' chariots get near, God blocks their path and Moses parts the Red Sea, providing the Hebrews an escape route.  When the Hebrews make it to the other side, Moses closes the separated waters, drowning the pursuing Egyptians — including Menerith.

Moses climbs the mountain to receive God's commandments in the form of two stone tablets.  However, when he climbs down, he finds that many of the Hebrews have made a golden calf to worship.  Moses destroys them and orders the deaths of the lawbreakers.  The survivors plead to receive God's commandments and Moses climbs up the mountain again.  After Moses reads the commandments, the tablets are placed in an ark.

The film end with Moses looking at the promised land, but he is not allowed to enter as he disobeyed God.

Trivia
