Sometimes when you don't know what to do, If you feel lost or confused...

...you just have to do a simple question.

What question?

What do you have in your hand?

What do you have in your hand?

What does that mean?

I will tell you the story of Moses.

And the staff he carried in his hand.

Long before David will take care of his father's sheep,

another shepherd walked alone in the Sinai desert.

His name was Moses.

Once a prince in Pharaoh's house,

now a stranger with a flock that was not his.

And then one night the God of Abraham spoke to him

from a fire bush.

And that changed everything.

Old Testament Stories: Moses

MADIAN DESERT 1446 BC

You've worn out the floor, husband.

What makes you hold that staff like a weapon?

Come. Sit down.

Sit down.

- I'm fine. - You're not fine.

Tell me what happened.

If I tell you...

...you will say that your husband has lost his mind.

I have thought about it many times. I still married you.

I don't know if you're wrong this time.

Last night, on the other side of the Sinai...

...I saw fire.

Fire?

A bramble. Ablaze.

First I thought of lightning.

Dry bushes. It happens.

I hadn't slept.

And an old man, going up in the dark. He can hear things and see things.

Is that what you think?

It's what I want to believe.

Because?

I can wake up tomorrow, tend to the flock,

and live and die as a shepherd in Midian.

That would be enough.

But if it was real...

...everything changes.

But I watched her.

I watched her for... I don't know how long.

And the bush was not consumed.

Not a leaf. Not a twig.

As if the fire were alive.

A dream?

Dreams disappear when you wake up.

This followed me home.

He is with me now.

Here in this store. It's as real as your face.

That scares me.

Zipporah...

...I heard a voice.

Whose voice?

Where from? From fire?

From everywhere. Of none. From inside my chest.

What did he say?

He knew my name.

Moses.

Moses.

Yes. That's my name. Here I am.

Show yourself.

Don't come any closer.

Take your sandals off your feet.

Because the place where you are standing It is sacred ground.

Please.

Tell me who you are.

I am the God of your father.

The God of Abraham.

The God of Isaac.

The God of Jacob.

Did you hear the voice of God?

Not with these ears.

With my... mind. With my body. With all my soul.

As if he knew me completely in a single breath.

And for a moment, I knew everything what a man can endure from Him.

His words...

...vibrated through me.

Every word...

...was truer than anyone that you have said or heard.

What did he say?

That I should return...

...to Egypt.

To the place where I was born.

To the place where my people are enslaved.

Were you a slave in Egypt?

No.

I was a prince in Egypt.

Well I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt.

So I have come to set them free from the hands of the Egyptians.

To bring them from that land to a land that I promised to Abraham.

So now, I send you to Pharaoh,

para traer a mi pueblo, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.

I left that place a long time ago.

Y... No. Tú...

You chose the wrong container.

Who am I to stand before Pharaoh?

Yo estaré contigo.

Si voy...

...with the Israelites and ask: "¿Cómo se llama?".

¿Qué debo decir?

Yo Soy quien soy.

Tell the people of Israel: "I Am sent me to you."

Diles que me recuerden.

"The Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac y Jacob,

He has sent me to you."

This is my name forever.

But they won't believe me.

They will say: "The Lord has not appeared to you."

Why would they trust a man who fled Egypt so long ago?

What do you have in your hand?

My staff.

Throw it on the ground.

Reach out and grab her by the tail.

This is so that they believe that the Lord, the God of your fathers,

has appeared to you.

Put your hand in your robe.

Now take it out.

Return it.

I am with you... Go!

I have never been a man of words.

Slow of speech and language.

Now, I've always been like that.

Please.

Please. Send someone else.

Who made the mouth of man?

Who makes him mute or deaf, sighted or blind?

Am I not the Lord?

Now go.

And that staff you hold...

...you will carry it in your hand.

Well, with it, you will do My wonders.

That pharaoh, did you know him?

Like a brother.

So...

...what will you do?

What did he do?

That's a good question, Avva.

He did what every man should do when God calls him to something impossible.

had to decide Who to fear and who to serve.

Had to face a moment in which he took justice into his own hands.

A life you tried to forget for 40 years.
