What can she be to you?
1:11:04
Unless the desert sun
has dulled your senses.

1:11:09
Does she...
1:11:10
grate garlic on her skin?
1:11:13
Or is it soft...
1:11:15
as mine?
1:11:17
Are her lips chafed
and dry as the desert sand,

1:11:21
or are they moist and red
1:11:25
like a pomegranate?
1:11:28
Is it the fragrance
of myrrh

1:11:30
that scents her hair...
1:11:34
...or is it
the odor of sheep?

1:11:39
There is a beauty
1:11:40
beyond the senses, Nefretiri,
1:11:43
beauty like the quiet
1:11:44
of green valleys
and still waters,

1:11:49
beauty of the spirit
1:11:50
that you cannot understand.
1:11:55
Perhaps not.
1:11:59
But beauty of the spirit will
not free your people, Moses.

1:12:04
You will come to me,
1:12:06
or they will
never leave Egypt.

1:12:10
The fate of Israel
1:12:11
is not in your hands, Nefretiri.
1:12:14
Oh, isn't it?
1:12:16
Who else can soften
Pharaoh's heart...

1:12:22
or harden it?
1:12:26
Yes.
1:12:28
You may be the lovely dust
1:12:30
through which God
will work His purpose.

1:12:40
Fill every jar in
your house with water.

1:12:42
Tell the others
that for seven days,

1:12:45
there will be
none to drink.

1:12:46
But this well has
never run dry.

1:12:49
The river's high.
What does it mean?

1:12:51
Whose word is that?
1:12:53
One who knows.
1:12:55
So fill your jars
or go thirsty.

1:12:59
Miriam is always right.
