Hard to say

After reading it, is the story of the Ten Commandments really like this? I don't know, I don't dare to speculate about God's inner world. This movie made me feel that the cost of salvation is too great, it’s hard to say it’s worth it. The Hebrews need to be liberated. That’s right, but the Egyptians and the pharaoh’s eldest sons provoked someone, for something unknown to them. Was killed in a gambling game. Are the refugees and soldiers who died in the entire process of fighting innocent? The Pharaoh was ignorant and moral, and the whole country suffered, and the people of Lebanon suffered. How do I feel that this is not good. Does God really act like this? Come on, there has never been a savior. What's next? Hard to say!

[Opening line and sentences as movie started]
Narrator: And God said Let there be light, and there was light. And from this light, God created life upon earth. And man was given diminion over all things upon this earth and the power to choose betweem good and evil. But each sought to do his own will because he knew not the light of God's law. Man took dominion over man, the conquered were made to serve the conqueror, the weak were made to serve the strong, and freedom was gone from this world. So did the Egyptians cause the children of Israel to serve with rigor, and their lives were made bitter with hard bondage. And their cry came up unto God. And God heard them and cast into Egypt, into the lowly hut of Amram and Yochabel, the seed of a man upon whose mind and heart would be written God's law and God's commandments, one man alone against an empire.

[the 'stick to cobra' combat had just occurred]
Moses: You gave me this staff to rule over scorpions and serpents, but God made it a rod to rule over kings. Hear His word, Rameses, and obey.
Rameses: Obey? Moses, Moses. Are there no magicians in Egypt, that you have come back to make serpents out of sticks or cause rabbits to appear?
