These are the same hands,
the same arms,

1:01:04
same face that were mine
a moment ago.

1:01:08
A moment ago,
you were her son,

1:01:11
the strength of Egypt.
1:01:13
Now you are mine,
a slave of Egypt.

1:01:17
You find no shame in this?
1:01:20
If there is no shame in me,
1:01:22
how can I feel shame
for the woman who bore me...

1:01:27
or the race that bred me?
1:01:29
Oh, God of my fathers!
1:01:31
Moses, what will you do?
1:01:44
This is the binding tie...
1:01:49
and here I will stay.
1:01:51
Moses.
1:01:52
To find the meaning
of what I am...

1:01:56
why a Hebrew...
1:01:59
or any man
must be a slave.

1:02:07
Put back your things.
1:02:09
You are not leaving.
1:02:12
Moses...
1:02:14
has she done
more for you than I?

1:02:18
Will the life she gave you
1:02:20
be more useful in
the black pits of slavery?

1:02:25
Cannot justice and truth
be served better

1:02:30
upon a throne,
1:02:32
where all men may benefit
from your goodness...

1:02:37
and strength?
1:02:42
I do not know what power
shapes my way,

1:02:48
but my feet
are set upon a road

1:02:51
that I must follow.
1:02:57
Forgive me, Bithiah.
