:38:00
If this god is God,
:38:02
he would live on every mountain,
in every valley.
:38:07
He would not be
:38:09
only the god of Israel
or Ishmael alone,
:38:13
but of all men.
:38:15
It is said he created all men
in his image.
:38:19
Then he would dwell
in every heart,
:38:23
in every mind, in every soul.
:38:31
I do not know
about such things,
:38:35
but I do know that
the mountain rumbles
:38:38
when God is there,
:38:40
and the earth trembles,
:38:42
and the cloud
is red with fire.
:38:46
At such a time,
:38:47
has any man ever gone to see him
face-to-face?
:38:52
No man has ever set foot
:38:54
on the forbidden
slopes of Sinai.
:38:57
Why do you want
to see him, Moses?
:39:00
To know that he is.
:39:02
And if he is, to know why
:39:04
he has not heard the cries
of slaves in bondage.
:39:09
Moses,
:39:10
it would be death
to look upon his face.
:39:13
How many
of my people have died
:39:16
because he has
turned away his face?
:39:20
Can a man judge God?
:39:23
No, Moses.
:39:25
We cannot see
his whole purpose.
:39:28
Even Ishmael
did not know
:39:31
that God drove him
into the desert
:39:34
to be the father
of a nation.
:39:37
Is it not enough to know
that he has saved you
:39:40
from the Pharaoh's anger?
:39:43
How do you know that?
:39:47
You walk like a prince,
:39:49
and you fight like a warrior.
:39:51
There is word in the caravans
of a great one
:39:55
who was driven out of Egypt.
:39:59
This is not
the scepter of a prince,
