1
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,798
And when Moses saw that the people were
naked
2
00:00:09,799 --> 00:00:14,399
for Aaron had made them naked unto their
shame among their enemies,
3
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,278
Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said,
Who is on the Lord's side? Let him come unto me.
4
00:00:20,279 --> 00:00:24,838
And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves
together unto him. And he said unto them,
5
00:00:24,839 --> 00:00:29,638
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel,
Put every man his sword by his side,
6
00:00:29,639 --> 00:00:33,958
and go in and out from gate to gate
throughout the camp,
7
00:00:33,959 --> 00:00:39,398
and slay every man his brother, and every man
his companion, and every man his neighbour.
8
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:43,238
And the children of Levi did
according to the word of Moses:
9
00:00:43,239 --> 00:00:47,596
And there fell of the people that day about
three thousand men.
10
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,198
Act 1
Scene 1: The Calling of Moses.
11
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,116
Only one
12
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:17,559
infinite
13
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,992
omnipresent
14
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,358
unperceived
15
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,956
and inconceivable God!
16
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:46,560
Here lay your shoes aside.
You have gone far enough now;
17
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:57,640
You stand on holy ground.
Be God's prophet!
18
00:03:03,279 --> 00:03:10,117
God of my fathers,
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
19
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:17,356
who reawakened their great thoughts
in my own mind,
20
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:25,800
O God, ask not Thy servant to be Thy
prophet.
21
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:37,720
I am old, I ask Thee
let me tend my sheep in peace.
22
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:51,076
You have seen your kindred enslaved,
the truth you have known,
23
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,719
so you can do nothing else:
24
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:03,238
You must set your folk free!
25
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:20,800
Who am I to combat the power
and force of that blindness?
26
00:04:22,999 --> 00:04:30,999
United with God in oneness,
to Him joined, from Pharaoh torn loose!
27
00:04:46,239 --> 00:04:51,233
What will give them proof of my mandate?
28
00:04:54,599 --> 00:05:00,310
The name of one holy!
29
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:10,800
The Infinite will set them free;
They shall no longer perish in bondage.
30
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:19,631
No one will believe me!
31
00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:27,787
Before their ears you shall do wondrous
things.
32
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:32,670
And their eyes will recognise you.
33
00:05:33,359 --> 00:05:39,514
And by your rod will they behold you,
and admire your wisdom;
34
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:47,759
By your hand they will believe your power, and feel
in the Nile waters what their blood commands them.
35
00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:58,107
But my tongue is not flexible.
36
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:07,839
I can think, but not speak.
37
00:06:37,239 --> 00:06:44,634
Even as from this, in darkness,
38
00:06:44,719 --> 00:06:49,558
ere the light of truth fell thereupon,
39
00:06:49,559 --> 00:06:57,559
will you perceive My message in everything.
40
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:06,839
Aaron will be enlightened; He shall be your
mouth!
41
00:07:17,479 --> 00:07:25,479
From him will your own voice
then issue, as from you comes mine!
42
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:46,839
And your people will now be blest,
for this I promise to you:
43
00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:04,275
Your folk are the chosen ones before all
others.
44
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:11,634
They are the folk of the one God alone.
45
00:08:13,359 --> 00:08:21,359
They are thus to know Him
and give Him alone their worship.
46
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:29,598
Also they will undergo all hardships
47
00:08:30,399 --> 00:08:36,793
that have, in millennia, ever come to be
conceived.
48
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:48,239
And this I promise to you:
49
00:08:53,719 --> 00:08:58,679
I shall conduct you forward,
50
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:06,680
to where, with the Eternal Oneness,
you'll be a model to every nation.
51
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,752
Now be gone hence!
52
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:22,191
Aaron nears you in the wasteland.
53
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:32,319
You soon will see him
approach and greet him.
54
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:40,320
Of this you are to inform him.
55
00:09:53,080 --> 00:10:00,031
Proclaim it!
56
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,872
Scene 2: Moses meets Aaron in the desert.
57
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:55,000
O son of my father,
O son of my father, brother in spirit,
58
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:02,839
are you sent by mighty. Through whom the
Only One is to speak, now hear me and Him,
59
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,150
God?
And tell me what you perceive.
60
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,840
My brother,
61
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:21,119
did the Almighty One
give you me as His vessel,
62
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,997
to pour forth eternal
grace on our brothers?
63
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,119
Grace is granted through recognition.
64
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:49,120
O happy folk, to have one god alone
to belong to,
65
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,429
Others live within a people, only
66
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:06,560
against whose forces no other power prevails.
- Only in fantasy, but God the Almighty exists apart from men.
67
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,591
O vision of highest fantasy,
68
00:13:24,199 --> 00:13:29,557
how glad it is, that you have enticed it to form.
How can fantasy thus picture the unimageable?
69
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,668
Love will surely not
70
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:43,633
weary of image forming.
- Folk set apart to know the ever unseen One,
71
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:51,510
Happy is this folk to revere its God so!
To reflect on greatness unimagined.
72
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:58,989
To love forever with a
thousand time more devotion.
73
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:07,117
Chosen is this folk, one God alone
74
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:18,000
than all other earthly peoples
for their many godly beings.
75
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:37,956
Folk, chosen by the Only One,
76
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:48,200
Folk, chosen by the Only One, can you
worship what you dare not even conceive?
77
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,876
Dare not?
78
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,632
Not conceived, because unseen, because
invisible
79
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:07,433
because infinite, because eternal, because
ever-present, because all-powerful.
80
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,990
The one God is almighty.
81
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:22,438
Thou punisheth sins of the father
on his children and children's children.
82
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:30,636
Punish? Are we able to originate what thou
demand'st as outcome? O righteous God:
83
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,798
Thou rewardest those who are faithful...
84
00:15:35,799 --> 00:15:39,759
to Thy commandments! O righteous God: Thou
hast directed how everything must befall.
85
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,839
How good Thou art! Then who is rewarded?
The one who could or...
86
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:49,999
the one who could not want things otherwise?
Thou hearest the pleas of beggars,
87
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:56,917
takest up the offerings made by the good.
- O almighty God, do the offerings of beggars then buy Thee, who Thyself made them poor?
88
00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:03,478
Purify your thinking.
89
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:11,359
Free it from worthless things,
90
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,828
Let it be righteous,
91
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:28,634
no other reward is given your offerings.
92
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:37,874
Only an Almighty God could such a weak,
93
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:45,960
and downtrodden people have chosen
94
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:52,355
to exhibit all His might and His
great wonders to them,
95
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:07,271
and to teach them, in Him alone to believe.
96
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:13,876
Almighty One!
97
00:17:15,679 --> 00:17:20,628
Law of thought irresistible
forces fulfilment.
98
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:31,999
Release them from Pharaoh's harsh bondage.
99
00:17:51,319 --> 00:17:54,436
Scene 3: Moses and Aaron bring
God's Message to the People.
100
00:18:06,679 --> 00:18:11,878
I saw him, just as a fiery flame
sprang forth and called him!
101
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,395
He threw himself on his knees
and concealed his face in the sand.
102
00:18:15,679 --> 00:18:18,273
He then went forth. In the wasteland.
103
00:18:20,319 --> 00:18:24,995
He passed by my house like a
luminous cloud, even so came he by.
104
00:18:25,679 --> 00:18:28,989
He floated rather than walked.
Hardly indeed did he touch the ground,
105
00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:32,352
and quickly passed from my sight.
106
00:18:33,919 --> 00:18:38,718
I called him, but he didn't notice me,
or pause, and then I heard it said.
107
00:18:38,719 --> 00:18:45,352
A god had commanded that he meet
his brother, Moses, in the desert.
108
00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:52,711
Moses, he who murdered the guard?
109
00:18:52,919 --> 00:19:00,919
Moses! He ran away! We then suffered the wrath of
Pharaoh! Moses! Now returning, will he stir rebellion?
110
00:19:03,439 --> 00:19:09,469
Are we now bound to serve a new god?
Moses! Another god: Other offerings!
111
00:19:09,799 --> 00:19:11,869
He will be our protector!
112
00:19:12,439 --> 00:19:17,991
The olden gods also protected us.
113
00:19:20,799 --> 00:19:27,671
And if one of them failed,
you could turn to another.
114
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,989
O ask not the gods, then,
impossibility's fulfilment.
115
00:19:39,519 --> 00:19:46,072
The other gods only helped our oppressors...
- Stronger than our other gods? - This god will come to our aid.
116
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:55,119
I think he must be a lovely God, young and handsome and glowing
like Aaron. The newest god perhaps will be stronger than Pharaoh?
117
00:19:58,599 --> 00:20:05,357
If we are to judge him by this Moses then blood offerings
will be needed. The new god also will not help us!
118
00:20:06,479 --> 00:20:14,479
The new god helps us not!
Blood offerings! Blood offerings!
119
00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:26,079
Blaspheme not! There are gods who only
punish, and those who only favour.
120
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:38,594
Many often must be appeased;
Blood offerings!
121
00:20:41,999 --> 00:20:46,789
Others can be won over forever.
Blood offerings!
122
00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:54,616
He makes me so glad! My heart is swelled with joy! - You soaring God, high in the heights of the heavens,
higher than other gods... - If He aids, if He shields us from Pharaoh's men and also from his false gods...
123
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,111
O holy, worshipful God, be Thou revealed in all Thy
glory. Then He shall be our God and the God of Israel,
124
00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:04,479
- I serve in love of Thy greatness. - Of false and powerless images.
- Whom we serve, to whom we make offerings.
125
00:21:05,879 --> 00:21:13,354
A loving God - heed not the liars - He reveals
himself in glory - A soaring God he lifts us to Him.
126
00:21:17,879 --> 00:21:21,394
Heed not the lying ones!
He will free us!
127
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:27,228
The gods don't love us!
We will love Him!
128
00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:32,871
Who is this would mightier
be than Pharaoh's gods are?
129
00:21:34,599 --> 00:21:38,717
We want to make offerings! Leave us
in peace now! We want to worship!
130
00:21:40,679 --> 00:21:43,751
Continue working!
131
00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:47,353
Lest it become harder!
132
00:21:48,199 --> 00:21:51,828
He shall make us free!
133
00:21:54,799 --> 00:22:01,910
See Moses and Aaron! Moses' powerful head!
Moses, his rod in his hand, moving slowly -
134
00:22:02,959 --> 00:22:05,951
He's waiting or is he moving?
135
00:22:06,079 --> 00:22:14,079
Moses waits! No, he's moving slowly! Moses
waits! He moves! Moses waits! No, he moves!
136
00:22:20,999 --> 00:22:27,313
Mighty his whitened head, and strong is his
arm! His powerful head! See!
137
00:22:29,719 --> 00:22:34,429
Aaron, a young man no more, moves along
with a light step -
138
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,428
Far before him, and yet stands close to him! No he goes
before! Is Aaron at Moses' side now? In front or behind him?
139
00:22:49,679 --> 00:22:52,759
They are moving, but not in space!
140
00:22:52,760 --> 00:23:00,030
Are nearer - are farther - are higher.
Are deeper Have vanished wholly!
141
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,589
See Moses! See Aaron!
They have arrived!
142
00:23:15,759 --> 00:23:19,911
Bring you good tidings, word
from the mighty new god?
143
00:23:21,599 --> 00:23:26,753
Come you to lead us, once more to make us
hopeful?
144
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:34,274
We yearn to give him gold,
goods, and living offerings!
145
00:23:37,239 --> 00:23:42,711
Take, do not ask us. Self love compels us,
forces us to make offerings,
146
00:23:45,639 --> 00:23:50,554
not only for his favour; Giving itself
is pleasure, the highest favour!
147
00:24:17,639 --> 00:24:21,427
The Only One, infinite, All-powerful One
148
00:24:21,639 --> 00:24:27,828
the Omnipresent One, invisible, inconceivable.
He's chosen you before all other people...
149
00:24:31,559 --> 00:24:38,238
demands no offering from you: He wants not a part, for
everything's wanted... and gives you alone His...
150
00:24:38,239 --> 00:24:44,109
unbounded holy favour.
151
00:24:48,879 --> 00:24:52,030
On your knees then, to give Him worship!
152
00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:58,587
Worship? Whom?
153
00:24:59,959 --> 00:25:04,032
Where is he? I see Him not!
154
00:25:08,519 --> 00:25:15,311
Has He gentle or angry mien?
Are we to love Him or to fear Him?
155
00:25:18,679 --> 00:25:22,194
Where is he? Point him out?
156
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:25,352
We want to kneel!
157
00:25:25,559 --> 00:25:30,508
We want to bring beasts for Him, and gold,
grain and wine!
158
00:25:31,439 --> 00:25:36,638
All will go to your God
almighty, if we are His people,
159
00:25:37,439 --> 00:25:40,431
if He is our God and if He guards us well.
160
00:25:40,959 --> 00:25:45,908
But then where is He? Point Him out!
161
00:25:49,199 --> 00:25:51,667
Close your eyes.
162
00:25:54,719 --> 00:25:58,189
Stop off your hearing.
163
00:26:00,999 --> 00:26:05,948
For in this way you shall hear and see him!
164
00:26:10,959 --> 00:26:15,908
No living man otherwise perceives him!
165
00:26:24,719 --> 00:26:28,553
Can He never be seen?
166
00:26:29,079 --> 00:26:33,277
Is He never visible?
167
00:26:40,319 --> 00:26:44,835
He, your most mighty of gods,
cannot show Himself before us?
168
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:04,671
But the righteous shall see Him.
169
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:20,591
I saw how He gleamed!
He must be our god! You soaring God!
170
00:27:23,079 --> 00:27:28,153
Then why need the murderer ever fear him?
171
00:27:34,999 --> 00:27:38,309
Who sees Him not is forsaken!
172
00:27:38,759 --> 00:27:45,073
Then we must all be forsaken, since
we still see him not! Ha ha ha!
173
00:27:54,559 --> 00:28:01,397
Keep away with your new god, with this
almighty one!
174
00:28:12,799 --> 00:28:15,996
Through him we do not want our freedom!
175
00:28:16,719 --> 00:28:21,793
Keep far away, like your god!
The all-present deity!
176
00:28:25,519 --> 00:28:28,397
We fear not, nor love we your god!
177
00:28:29,079 --> 00:28:33,550
So little does he give reward or chastise!
178
00:28:57,759 --> 00:29:01,149
Through him we do not want our freedom!
179
00:29:14,159 --> 00:29:19,358
Almighty One, now my strength is exhausted,
180
00:29:26,639 --> 00:29:32,191
and my thought becomes powerless in
Aaron's word!
181
00:29:52,319 --> 00:29:54,833
Silence!
182
00:29:55,639 --> 00:29:59,638
The word is mine and the deed!
183
00:29:59,639 --> 00:30:00,839
The word is mine and the deed!
184
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,677
Aaron! Aaron, what're you doing?
What's happening, Aaron?
185
00:30:19,239 --> 00:30:24,472
This rod leads you:
186
00:30:29,199 --> 00:30:34,148
Look, a serpent!
187
00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:43,389
Flee! The serpent grows!
It's twisting!
188
00:30:52,759 --> 00:30:57,708
See, it's turning against the people!
189
00:31:03,119 --> 00:31:07,351
In Moses' hand a rigid rod:
190
00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:15,869
The law.
191
00:31:17,719 --> 00:31:23,555
In my own hand the most supple of serpents:
192
00:31:31,479 --> 00:31:34,676
Discretion.
193
00:31:44,519 --> 00:31:49,547
Now stand so, as it commands!
194
00:32:00,479 --> 00:32:04,154
Move! Go farther back!
195
00:32:06,479 --> 00:32:11,348
Come this way! Go that way! Move!
Take other places!
196
00:32:16,359 --> 00:32:21,797
We are helpless. It has us in bonds!
197
00:32:30,319 --> 00:32:36,588
Know then the might, that this staff
198
00:32:48,839 --> 00:32:52,991
imparts to the leader!
199
00:33:16,839 --> 00:33:24,519
A marvel has filled us with terror: The rod changed to a serpent, shows
Aaron as lord of this people. - How great is the might of this Aaron!
200
00:33:27,799 --> 00:33:33,510
Is Aaron the servant of Moses?
201
00:33:37,399 --> 00:33:42,837
Does Moses in turn serve this new god?
202
00:33:46,199 --> 00:33:51,432
How vast is the might of this great god,
203
00:33:55,199 --> 00:34:00,432
when such mighty persons do serve him!
204
00:34:04,399 --> 00:34:07,789
We want to serve him! - He shall make us free!
- We want to make offerings!
205
00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:34,638
Your rod compels us,
206
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:38,918
yet it does not compel Pharaoh
207
00:34:38,919 --> 00:34:40,671
to give us freedom!
208
00:35:03,039 --> 00:35:07,438
O your spirit has been broken
209
00:35:07,439 --> 00:35:11,318
and your pride is shrunken.
210
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,518
Hoping not, you labour,
211
00:35:19,519 --> 00:35:24,035
have no faith in God or yourselves,
212
00:35:27,839 --> 00:35:30,876
for your heart is sick!
213
00:35:32,599 --> 00:35:37,798
This way you will not vanquish Pharaoh!
214
00:35:40,119 --> 00:35:45,796
Pharaoh is powerful!
We are weak!
215
00:35:49,839 --> 00:35:54,355
See Moses' hand:
So hale it is, and strong.
216
00:35:57,479 --> 00:36:01,995
But now Moses' heart is like your own,
217
00:36:02,839 --> 00:36:06,798
because he knows you lack spirit.
218
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,916
Placing the hand on the heart,
that's sick just as yours is,
219
00:36:16,439 --> 00:36:17,554
see!
220
00:36:23,799 --> 00:36:26,393
Leprous! Leprous!
221
00:36:26,839 --> 00:36:32,638
Flee! Flee! Shun his path.
And touch him not
222
00:36:32,639 --> 00:36:37,667
you will be sick!
Leprous! Leprous!
223
00:36:57,679 --> 00:37:00,910
Therein see yourselves,
224
00:37:01,799 --> 00:37:03,152
Weak,
225
00:37:04,959 --> 00:37:07,075
sick,
226
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:13,794
detested, enslaved, tormented!
227
00:37:21,199 --> 00:37:27,513
Now, even there in Moses' bosom
the spirit of great God dwells,
228
00:37:29,439 --> 00:37:33,830
that soon will force this
Pharaoh to release you.
229
00:37:37,159 --> 00:37:38,717
See!
230
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:46,075
Moses now places that leprous hand
upon his strong and healthy heart...
231
00:37:48,479 --> 00:37:50,310
Marvel!
232
00:37:54,799 --> 00:37:59,156
The hand is now hale and strong!
233
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:10,632
Discover therein your likeness.
234
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:19,710
Your spirit shall prevail over Pharaoh.
235
00:38:20,919 --> 00:38:26,119
O Aaron has shown as a marvel.
The hand that can be hale or sickly,
236
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:32,878
is proof of the being of this God,
who yet will not show His visage.
237
00:38:34,679 --> 00:38:42,679
Through Aaron this Moses has shown as how he saw his God. O leprous
the hands of the faithless, and healthy the hearts of believers...
238
00:38:45,279 --> 00:38:53,038
the visible wonder shows us. The symbol enlarges to image Him, the
spirited heart trusts in one God, attested by visible wonders.
239
00:38:56,559 --> 00:39:00,074
Almighty God!
240
00:39:03,879 --> 00:39:05,198
Everything for freedom!
241
00:39:07,919 --> 00:39:09,199
Now let us shatter the shackles!
242
00:39:11,599 --> 00:39:13,430
And kill the taskmasters!
243
00:39:14,159 --> 00:39:15,877
And kill all their priests!
244
00:39:16,559 --> 00:39:18,151
Destroy all their idols!
245
00:39:20,839 --> 00:39:23,353
Off to the desert!
246
00:39:27,559 --> 00:39:31,313
Madmen you are! How can the
desert give you nurture?
247
00:39:34,279 --> 00:39:40,195
In the wasteland pureness of thought will
provide you, nurture you, sustain you...
248
00:39:44,159 --> 00:39:45,911
and advance you...
249
00:39:46,519 --> 00:39:52,628
and the Eternal lets you see an
image of your earthly good fortune
250
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:57,474
in every spiritual marvel.
251
00:40:02,639 --> 00:40:07,110
The All-knowing One knows that
you are still a child-like folk
252
00:40:07,199 --> 00:40:12,238
and does not expect from a child
what's hard for elders.
253
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:17,393
He reasons this way:
That every child grows older
254
00:40:23,679 --> 00:40:29,197
and every elder shall be wiser.
255
00:40:35,079 --> 00:40:40,518
He grants you time to
devote to the pleasure
256
00:40:40,519 --> 00:40:46,754
of preparations and the wisdom
that agedness will bring with it.
257
00:41:02,439 --> 00:41:06,910
He never will fail to provide
you with food in the desert.
258
00:41:10,199 --> 00:41:14,875
The Almighty One can change mere sand to
fruit,
259
00:41:19,639 --> 00:41:24,918
fruit to gold, gold to
rapture, rapture to soul.
260
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:39,395
Who feeds the Nile, that
nurtures this land?
261
00:41:47,599 --> 00:41:52,593
He, who changed rod to serpent
and health to leprosy's terror.
262
00:42:00,039 --> 00:42:05,591
See the Nile's clear water within this jar:
263
00:42:18,519 --> 00:42:24,116
No, you are not wrong.
What you see is blood!
264
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,473
What does this mean?
265
00:42:44,879 --> 00:42:50,078
This is your own blood,
that gives the land nurture,
266
00:42:50,159 --> 00:42:54,516
as the flow of the Nile.
267
00:42:55,439 --> 00:43:01,753
You fatten the servants of falsehood,
the slaves of false gods.
268
00:43:09,279 --> 00:43:16,913
But the Almighty One will free you
and free your blood.
269
00:43:20,759 --> 00:43:24,388
Chosen folk!
270
00:43:25,079 --> 00:43:31,268
You He has chosen over other peoples
271
00:43:37,399 --> 00:43:43,318
to be the people of God alone;
272
00:43:43,319 --> 00:43:47,710
Him alone to worship,
in no other's service!
273
00:43:56,639 --> 00:44:00,314
You will be free then from toil and misery!
274
00:44:01,879 --> 00:44:06,316
This is His promise:
275
00:44:10,799 --> 00:44:17,068
He will then lead you to a land
where milk and honey flow.
276
00:44:19,919 --> 00:44:27,919
There you shall have earthly pleasure
from what in spirit was vowed your fathers.
277
00:44:42,759 --> 00:44:50,188
What for Pharaoh remains,
is once more the Nile's clear water alone.
278
00:44:52,319 --> 00:44:56,676
And therein is he sure to drown.!
279
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,828
We are His chosen folk before all others,
280
00:45:16,759 --> 00:45:22,789
Him alone to worship, Him alone to serve:
281
00:45:34,079 --> 00:45:38,630
We shall be free then from toil and misery.
282
00:45:42,319 --> 00:45:46,312
This is His promise:
283
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:53,711
He will then lead us to a land
where milk and honey flow
284
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:03,553
and we shall enjoy then what
He once did promise our fathers.
285
00:46:22,319 --> 00:46:27,757
Almighty, Thou art stronger than Egyptian
gods are,
286
00:46:31,319 --> 00:46:38,191
Thou will strike down Pharaoh and all his
servants.
287
00:46:40,039 --> 00:46:48,039
Now we are freed from toil by Moses and
Aaron.
288
00:46:49,119 --> 00:46:56,992
Infinite God, we worship Thee, consecrate
to Thee offerings and our devotion.
289
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:13,188
Thou hast chosen us,
lead us to the promised land.
290
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:18,798
We shall be free, free!
291
00:47:27,279 --> 00:47:30,316
Act 2
Before the Mountain of Revelation.
292
00:47:31,639 --> 00:47:39,639
Where is Moses?
- Where is our leader? It's been a long time since he was seen!
293
00:47:43,159 --> 00:47:51,159
Never. Never, never shall we see him!
Where is he? Where is Moses?
294
00:47:57,199 --> 00:48:05,199
Abandoned are we! Where is his God?
Where is the infinite? The infinite? Moses!
295
00:48:20,479 --> 00:48:28,479
Moses? Never shall we see him!
- Where is his god? Where is the infinite? Never, never, never shall we see him! - Where is he?
296
00:49:44,679 --> 00:49:48,069
Forty days now!
297
00:49:49,359 --> 00:49:56,390
Forty days now, yet we're still waiting
here! Forty days now! When will this end?
298
00:49:57,399 --> 00:50:00,755
How long is this to continue?
299
00:50:00,839 --> 00:50:08,598
Forty days now we have awaited Moses, and
still no one knows either law or command!
300
00:50:08,959 --> 00:50:15,831
Unperceivable command from One who's yet
unperceived.
301
00:50:17,479 --> 00:50:21,392
All of the best pastures are occupied by
Judah!
302
00:50:21,519 --> 00:50:28,277
Far worse than in Egypt, to toil without day
of rest, as Ephraim makes Benjamin's sons do!
303
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:36,037
Ephraim's women have been stolen by
Benjamin's sons!
304
00:50:39,919 --> 00:50:47,919
Thus might now reigns! Lewdness knows not
its punishment, virtue knows not reward!
305
00:50:48,759 --> 00:50:56,759
Forty days now we have waited vainly
306
00:51:02,039 --> 00:51:09,753
before this summit!
307
00:51:17,599 --> 00:51:25,599
When Moses has come down from the
summit,
308
00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:38,479
from where the laws are revealed to him
alone,
309
00:51:42,599 --> 00:51:49,232
you shall hear both law and command from
my mouth.
310
00:51:58,399 --> 00:52:05,191
You cannot expect form before idea,
311
00:52:14,319 --> 00:52:21,236
for together they'll make their appearance.
312
00:52:29,319 --> 00:52:32,948
That is too late for us! The people are
downcast!
313
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:40,238
They distrust this high summit, for the
enclosure keeps the revelation far from them.
314
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:45,838
They rage, they trust not one of us,
315
00:52:45,839 --> 00:52:50,238
think the enclosure is senseless,
the revelation is pretext,
316
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,709
Moses' silence means flight!
317
00:53:03,479 --> 00:53:06,718
Hear! Hear! Too late!
318
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:10,078
Where is Moses? We'll tear him asunder,
319
00:53:10,079 --> 00:53:13,958
Where is the great Omnipresent One?
How can He condone this?
320
00:53:14,999 --> 00:53:22,999
Where is the Almighty One? Why does He now
impede us? Have no fear! Destroy him!
321
00:53:24,399 --> 00:53:27,038
The Inconceivable God did not forbid it!
322
00:53:27,799 --> 00:53:34,750
Give us back our gods to worship,
let them bring us order,
323
00:53:35,679 --> 00:53:39,797
lest we tear you limb from limb, you
who took command and law away from us!
324
00:53:41,799 --> 00:53:45,958
Aaron, help us! Speak out for us!
325
00:53:45,959 --> 00:53:50,316
They'll murder us! They pay you heed!
You have their hearts!
326
00:53:53,119 --> 00:53:59,035
O Israel,
327
00:53:59,999 --> 00:54:07,952
my brother Moses tarries
where he always is,
328
00:54:10,479 --> 00:54:15,917
though he be near to us or far:
329
00:54:16,559 --> 00:54:22,236
He rests upon that summit,
330
00:54:28,439 --> 00:54:34,628
close to his God.
331
00:54:41,879 --> 00:54:46,078
It may be that he has left us,
332
00:54:46,079 --> 00:54:50,550
being far from us.
333
00:54:52,679 --> 00:54:59,118
Or maybe his God has now left him,
being so near to him.
334
00:54:59,279 --> 00:55:07,279
Perhaps he approached too near!
335
00:55:10,679 --> 00:55:18,472
That God is so severe,
336
00:55:18,839 --> 00:55:24,948
it may he that He has destroyed him!
337
00:55:26,599 --> 00:55:31,150
His God may have destroyed him!
The gods have probably destroyed him!
338
00:55:31,839 --> 00:55:38,187
The gods indeed destroyed him! The gods so mighty destroyed this offender!
- The Infinite could not protect him. The great unseen One lets none behold Him.
339
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:46,789
The unseen One will never give help! The unseen One lets no one behold
Him! His God is powerless! O slay them, kill all the priesthood!
340
00:55:48,279 --> 00:55:55,959
O smite them and burn them, the priesthood, servants of the false god! O burn them!
- O smite them - slay them all!
341
00:55:59,639 --> 00:56:01,869
Aaron, help us.
342
00:56:05,479 --> 00:56:06,479
Relent!
343
00:56:15,359 --> 00:56:19,193
O Israel!
344
00:56:19,279 --> 00:56:26,993
I return your gods to you,
345
00:56:27,879 --> 00:56:35,879
and also give you to them, just as you have
demanded.
346
00:56:43,079 --> 00:56:51,079
Leave distant things to one infinite,
347
00:56:55,119 --> 00:57:03,119
since to you the gods have ever present
and always common substance.
348
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:09,838
Rejoice!
349
00:57:09,839 --> 00:57:17,839
You shall provide the stuff, I shall give it a
form: Rejoice, be glad! Rejoice, Israel! Rejoice!
350
00:57:18,199 --> 00:57:25,878
Common and visible,
imagined in gold forever.
351
00:57:25,879 --> 00:57:29,110
Bring out your gold, yield it!
352
00:57:29,199 --> 00:57:34,319
Call him forth! You then shall be happy! Our gods,
imagined in our vision; Our gods, masters of our senses!
353
00:57:34,399 --> 00:57:34,919
You are earthly and visible, manifest,
assuring our certainty.
354
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:41,158
You are earthly and visible, manifest,
assuring our certainty.
355
00:57:41,159 --> 00:57:47,507
Your extent and your finiteness do not
ask for that which our hearts deny.
356
00:57:47,599 --> 00:57:50,719
O gods, near to all our feelings,
O gods, we can understand you.
357
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:58,720
Virtue's prize is great ecstasy; Acts
of wrong are punished by righteousness.
358
00:58:05,559 --> 00:58:13,559
Show us how are deeds answered.
O gods, let as see your power.
359
00:58:15,799 --> 00:58:23,799
Rejoice, Israel, be glad, Israel!
360
00:58:25,719 --> 00:58:32,397
Bright is this present instant, and dismal
that distant timelessness.
361
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:38,079
Pleasure shuns not its consequence,
fearlessly seeks it out willingly.
362
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:44,110
Joy borders life and also
death, heightened by each,
363
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:50,719
from each partakes. Danger inflames our love
of life, steadfastness too and bravery.
364
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:03,229
You have given your gods your innermost
feelings as content and form.
365
00:59:03,319 --> 00:59:11,319
Now your gods' great glory fastens
your gold. Renounce all your wealth!
366
00:59:13,239 --> 00:59:21,239
Make yourself poor, make them rich!
367
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:34,513
They will not let you ever hunger!
368
00:59:38,399 --> 00:59:46,399
Rejoice, Israel! Rejoice!
369
01:00:02,239 --> 01:00:07,029
This gold image attests that in
all things that are, a god lives.
370
01:00:09,039 --> 01:00:12,714
Unchangeable, even as a law, is the stuff,
371
01:00:12,799 --> 01:00:16,553
the gold that you have given.
372
01:00:19,359 --> 01:00:23,875
Seemingly changeable, as all else must be.
373
01:00:23,959 --> 01:00:31,959
Much less matters the shape that I have
provided.
374
01:00:33,319 --> 01:00:41,319
Revere yourselves in this gold symbol.
375
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:38,720
O goldly form, your rays give warmth,
376
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:47,000
you heal, as never the sun's rays have
healed.
377
01:05:54,560 --> 01:06:02,560
I merely placed my hand on you,
378
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:10,600
and even now the crippled limbs begin
moving.
379
01:06:58,319 --> 01:07:06,319
Here, o great gods, take the only tatters,
380
01:07:10,359 --> 01:07:18,359
that have protected us from
desert sand and sun's blazing
381
01:07:27,279 --> 01:07:32,956
and here are the last of our morsels,
382
01:07:33,079 --> 01:07:40,030
those which we have begged for tomorrow's
sustenance.
383
01:08:01,879 --> 01:08:09,879
The final living moments that are still
remaining to us we give as offering.
384
01:08:20,119 --> 01:08:27,230
They have slain themselves as offering!
385
01:09:56,280 --> 01:10:02,158
Free, under lords of their choosing,
386
01:10:02,159 --> 01:10:08,189
they'll be governed only by those gods
387
01:10:08,319 --> 01:10:13,916
who rule with power.
388
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,190
Tribal leaders,
389
01:10:19,279 --> 01:10:27,279
swear now with me to this
image of governing power.
390
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:39,840
We speak for all of the tribes that name us
leader,
391
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:46,678
O gods, see how we kneel down before you,
392
01:10:46,679 --> 01:10:53,551
We yield to a power that is higher, being
highest!
393
01:10:54,279 --> 01:10:58,989
Free, under lords of their choosing!
394
01:11:16,480 --> 01:11:21,679
As high as thought were we once up-raised,
present afar, future at hand!
395
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:27,552
Deep as life are we degraded, deep as life.
396
01:11:29,519 --> 01:11:32,317
Annihilate this image of the temporal;
397
01:11:34,399 --> 01:11:39,314
Clear be the view of eternity!
398
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,758
Here, view now eternity,
399
01:11:55,159 --> 01:12:01,428
since your present life
has so little value.
400
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:45,878
Happy are the folk and great is the wonder,
401
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:56,038
and the rapture, and the
joy they've created.
402
01:14:56,039 --> 01:15:03,839
None is untransfigured; Each is exalted.
403
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:10,154
None is unaffected; Each is enraptured.
404
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:22,679
Powerful human virtues are reawakened:
405
01:15:22,759 --> 01:15:30,677
Grave and joyful; Temperate, dissolute,
cheerful,
406
01:15:30,839 --> 01:15:38,839
pleased and longing, active and resting.
Mindfulness,
407
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:45,393
lust, abstention, greed,
profusion, and envy.
408
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:55,278
All of beauty, goodness, ugliness,
evil, all that can be witnessed,
409
01:15:55,279 --> 01:16:00,512
manifest, sensed.
410
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:08,955
Sense first gives to spirit sense.
Spirit then is sense.
411
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:19,473
Those gods who have given you spirit,
sense and spirit to affect you,
412
01:16:21,279 --> 01:16:25,272
let them be exalted!
413
01:16:38,759 --> 01:16:41,876
O golden of gods, your glow streams
through me with pleasure!
414
01:16:41,999 --> 01:16:44,274
What gleams must be good.
415
01:16:44,440 --> 01:16:47,750
Unassailable virtue of gold,
its virginity cannot be lost,
416
01:16:48,039 --> 01:16:51,349
repaid as model and image.
417
01:17:13,759 --> 01:17:21,759
O golden of gods, o priests who serve gods
so golden,
418
01:17:23,639 --> 01:17:31,639
our blood, virginal and still unblemished,
419
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:40,960
is coldly metallic-as gold is,
not warmed to bear fruit.
420
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:51,438
O great ones, enrapture your priesthood,
421
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:59,439
transport us, arouse us to first
and last rapture,
422
01:18:00,440 --> 01:18:08,440
Enkindle our blood, let it hiss against
cold gold as forth it rushes!
423
01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:23,989
O crimson gold!
424
01:18:56,559 --> 01:19:00,438
Blood offerings!
425
01:22:58,599 --> 01:23:02,308
In your godly image we shall
let our passions live!
426
01:23:06,599 --> 01:23:07,998
Holy is the creative power!
427
01:23:09,519 --> 01:23:11,714
Holy is fertility!
428
01:23:12,399 --> 01:23:15,391
Holy is desire!
429
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:29,157
Great gods, who have given you spirit...
430
01:23:29,440 --> 01:23:33,877
Senses, spirit to affect you.
O golden of gods.!
431
01:23:33,999 --> 01:23:39,710
Gold gleams like lust!
Gold gleams like blood!
432
01:23:42,599 --> 01:23:46,478
Human virtue is gold-like!
433
01:23:50,599 --> 01:23:55,548
Gold is lust! Lust is wildness!! Gold
is power, devotion, and righteousness!
434
01:24:05,639 --> 01:24:10,588
Bewildering gleam!
435
01:25:16,879 --> 01:25:18,835
Moses is descending from the mountain!
436
01:25:39,639 --> 01:25:41,436
Be gone,
437
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:50,720
you image of powerlessness to
enclose the boundless in an image finite!
438
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:56,835
The golden rays are now quenched!
439
01:25:57,359 --> 01:26:01,034
Once again our god is unseen.
- Every joy, every pleasure, every promise is gone!
440
01:26:01,639 --> 01:26:04,392
All is again dark gloom!
We must now escape from his might!
441
01:26:09,279 --> 01:26:11,918
Aaron, o what have you done?
442
01:26:14,759 --> 01:26:18,547
Naught different, just my
task as it ever has been:
443
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:23,991
When your idea gave forth no word,
my word gave forth no image,
444
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:29,752
I worked marvels for eyes and ears to
witness.
445
01:26:32,039 --> 01:26:33,188
Commanded by whom?
446
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:40,237
As always, I heeded the voice from within.
447
01:26:43,399 --> 01:26:44,752
But I did not instruct you.
448
01:26:47,079 --> 01:26:49,309
Nevertheless, I still comprehended.
449
01:26:51,959 --> 01:26:53,517
Cease!
450
01:26:56,879 --> 01:26:58,790
Your... mouth...
451
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:06,911
Your were far away from us...
452
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:13,714
There with my idea. That must have been
close to you!
453
01:27:15,959 --> 01:27:23,959
When you remained apart we believed you
were dead.
454
01:27:25,879 --> 01:27:30,198
From your words the people had,
455
01:27:30,199 --> 01:27:36,718
for long expected,
both law and commandment to come.
456
01:27:37,719 --> 01:27:43,589
I was compelled to provide
an image for them.
457
01:27:47,159 --> 01:27:49,673
Your image faded at my word!
458
01:27:54,639 --> 01:27:59,713
But your word was denied image and marvel,
which are detested by you.
459
01:28:00,519 --> 01:28:04,990
And yet was the marvel an image, not more:
460
01:28:05,399 --> 01:28:09,631
When your word destroyed my image.
461
01:28:10,959 --> 01:28:16,192
God's eternity opposes idols' transience!
462
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:24,149
No image this, no marvel!
463
01:28:27,959 --> 01:28:30,598
These are the commands.
464
01:28:32,799 --> 01:28:39,158
The Everlasting One spoke them,
just as these tables
465
01:28:39,159 --> 01:28:43,437
so temporal, in the language
you are speaking.
466
01:28:52,160 --> 01:29:00,160
Israel endures, thus proving
the idea of One Timeless.
467
01:29:08,959 --> 01:29:14,636
Grant you now the power, which idea has...
468
01:29:15,359 --> 01:29:18,396
over both word and image?
469
01:29:23,239 --> 01:29:25,594
I discern only this:
470
01:29:27,359 --> 01:29:31,716
That this folk shall remain protected.
471
01:29:37,759 --> 01:29:44,835
But then, a people only feel.
I love this humble folk.
472
01:29:45,319 --> 01:29:49,756
I live just for them and
want to sustain them.
473
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:56,115
If the idea wills it. My love is
for my idea. I live just for it!
474
01:29:57,359 --> 01:30:01,318
You also would have loved this people,
475
01:30:01,480 --> 01:30:08,318
had you only seen how they lived when they
dared to see and feel and hope.
476
01:30:09,959 --> 01:30:15,079
No folk is faithful unless it feels.
477
01:30:20,239 --> 01:30:23,868
You have not shaken me!
They must comprehend the idea!
478
01:30:24,399 --> 01:30:25,832
They live for that end!
479
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:36,429
What a piteous people, a folk made
of martyrs they would then be!
480
01:30:37,279 --> 01:30:42,637
No folk can grasp more than just a partial
image,
481
01:30:43,399 --> 01:30:47,358
the perceivable part of the whole idea.
482
01:30:48,319 --> 01:30:53,791
Be understood by all the people in their
own accustomed way.
483
01:30:56,679 --> 01:30:59,113
Am I to debase the idea?
484
01:31:00,520 --> 01:31:05,275
Let me present it then,
485
01:31:05,999 --> 01:31:10,478
describing without
specifying: Restrictions,
486
01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:14,995
fear-inspiring yet not too harsh,
insuring their understanding;
487
01:31:16,399 --> 01:31:18,515
Further perseverance;
The need thus will be clearer.
488
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:22,198
Stern commandments,
489
01:31:22,199 --> 01:31:26,477
give rise to new hope and strengthen the
idea.
490
01:31:27,719 --> 01:31:33,510
Unbeknown, what you want will be done.
491
01:31:38,279 --> 01:31:46,279
Human wavering you'll find your people
still have... yet worthy of love.
492
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:50,598
I shall not live to see it!
493
01:31:54,679 --> 01:31:59,469
You must live! You can do naught else!
494
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:02,355
You're bound to your idea so closely!
495
01:32:02,639 --> 01:32:08,111
Bound to my idea as even these
tables do set it forth...
496
01:32:08,199 --> 01:32:14,229
They are images also,
just part of the whole idea.
497
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:21,479
Then I smash to pieces both these tablets
498
01:32:22,799 --> 01:32:28,669
and I shall also ask Him to
withdraw the task given me.
499
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:35,918
Faint-hearted one! You, who yet
have God's message,
500
01:32:36,839 --> 01:32:40,912
without or with the tables.
501
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:47,157
I, your mouth, do rightly guard your idea
502
01:32:48,440 --> 01:32:52,228
whenever I do utter it.
503
01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:55,990
- In image!
- Image of your idea;
504
01:32:56,240 --> 01:33:00,358
They are one, as all is
that emerges from it.
505
01:33:01,199 --> 01:33:04,077
I simply yield before necessity;
506
01:33:06,440 --> 01:33:10,038
For it is certain this
folk will be sustained
507
01:33:10,039 --> 01:33:14,032
to give proof of the eternal idea.
508
01:33:20,879 --> 01:33:24,959
This is my mission: To
speak it more simply,
509
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:27,428
than I understand it.
510
01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:33,839
For He has chosen us!
Yet, the knowing ones surely.
511
01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:38,638
Before all others as His folk, to serve the
only God. Will ever again discover it!
512
01:33:38,639 --> 01:33:40,277
Him alone to worship.
513
01:33:43,079 --> 01:33:44,956
- Look there!
- The fiery pillar!
514
01:33:45,440 --> 01:33:46,873
To lead us by night.
515
01:33:47,359 --> 01:33:52,672
Thus through me has God given a signal to
the people.
516
01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:55,239
The cloudlike pillar!
517
01:33:55,320 --> 01:33:56,753
It leads us by day.
518
01:33:58,119 --> 01:33:59,999
Godless image!
519
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:05,632
God-sent signal, burning again glowing...
where milk and honey flows.
520
01:34:06,039 --> 01:34:11,272
The Infinite thus shows not Himself,
He will lead us to the Land...
521
01:34:11,719 --> 01:34:15,029
but the way to Him.
And we shall enjoy then...
522
01:34:17,559 --> 01:34:25,559
and the way to the Promised Land!
What He once did promise our fathers.
523
01:34:38,359 --> 01:34:42,989
Almighty, Thou art stronger
than the Egyptian gods!
524
01:35:03,079 --> 01:35:04,637
Inconceivable God!
525
01:35:07,079 --> 01:35:10,515
Inexpressible, many-sided idea,
526
01:35:13,519 --> 01:35:16,670
will You let it be so explained?
527
01:35:17,879 --> 01:35:22,157
Shall Aaron, my mouth, fashion this image?
528
01:35:24,679 --> 01:35:28,758
Then I have fashioned an image too, false,
529
01:35:28,759 --> 01:35:30,511
as an image must be.
530
01:35:32,999 --> 01:35:35,069
Thus am I defeated!
531
01:35:36,359 --> 01:35:42,355
Thus, all was but madness that I believed
before,
532
01:35:44,599 --> 01:35:52,233
and can and must not be given voice.
533
01:36:12,359 --> 01:36:15,510
O Word,
534
01:36:16,239 --> 01:36:19,948
thou Word,
535
01:36:20,839 --> 01:36:25,196
that I lack!
536
01:37:03,639 --> 01:37:05,834
Aaron, now this must cease!
537
01:37:06,239 --> 01:37:08,070
Will you then kill me?
538
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:10,238
It is not a matter of your life...
539
01:37:10,239 --> 01:37:11,672
The Promised Land...
540
01:37:11,799 --> 01:37:13,027
An image...
541
01:37:13,199 --> 01:37:16,635
I was to speak in images,
while you spoke in ideas;
542
01:37:16,799 --> 01:37:19,108
I was to speak to the
heart, you to the mind.
543
01:37:19,480 --> 01:37:22,995
You, from whom both word and images flee,
544
01:37:23,559 --> 01:37:29,156
you yourself remain, and live in the images
you provided for the people to witness.
545
01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:33,358
Having been alienated from the source, from
the idea,
546
01:37:33,359 --> 01:37:35,634
then neither word nor
image satisfied you...
547
01:37:35,919 --> 01:37:41,516
I was to perform visible marvels, when the
word and the image from the mouth failed...!
548
01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:45,789
But you were satisfied
only by the act, the deed.
549
01:37:46,359 --> 01:37:52,798
You then made the rod a leader, of my power a liberator.
And the water of the Nile attested the supreme might...
550
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:58,355
You then desired actually, physically,
to tread with your feet...
551
01:37:58,759 --> 01:38:02,718
upon an unreal land
where milk and honey flowed.
552
01:38:03,599 --> 01:38:07,679
You then struck the rock, instead of
speaking to it, as you were commanded,
553
01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:09,716
to make water flow forth from it...
554
01:38:10,039 --> 01:38:14,519
The word alone was to have struck forth
refreshment from the naked rock...
555
01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:18,433
Never did your word reach the
people without meaning...
556
01:38:19,159 --> 01:38:21,958
And so with the rod I spoke to
557
01:38:21,959 --> 01:38:25,588
the rock in its language,
which the people also understand.
558
01:38:25,839 --> 01:38:28,558
You speak more simply than you understand,
559
01:38:28,559 --> 01:38:33,758
for you know that the rock is,
like the wasteland and the burning bush,
560
01:38:33,759 --> 01:38:37,547
three that give not to the body
what it needs with regard to spirit -
561
01:38:38,159 --> 01:38:42,471
the soul, whose very renunciation
is sufficient for eternal life.
562
01:38:43,200 --> 01:38:46,478
And the rock, even as all images,
obeys the word,
563
01:38:46,479 --> 01:38:48,913
from whence it came to be manifested.
564
01:38:50,199 --> 01:38:53,319
Thus, you won the people
not for the eternal one,
565
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:54,548
but for yourself...
566
01:38:55,159 --> 01:38:58,310
For their freedom - so that
they would become a nation.
567
01:38:59,079 --> 01:39:01,752
To serve, to serve the divine idea
is the purpose...
568
01:39:01,999 --> 01:39:04,513
of the freedom for which this folk has been
chosen.
569
01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:09,038
You, however, expose them to strange gods,
570
01:39:09,239 --> 01:39:12,231
to the calf and to the
pillars of fire and cloud;
571
01:39:12,839 --> 01:39:16,149
For you do as the people do,
because you feel and think as they do.
572
01:39:17,359 --> 01:39:20,351
And the god that you showed to them
is an image of powerlessness,
573
01:39:21,199 --> 01:39:23,588
is dependent upon a power beyond itself,
574
01:39:24,199 --> 01:39:27,558
must fulfil what it has promised, must do
575
01:39:27,559 --> 01:39:31,791
what it is asked, is bound to its word...
576
01:39:33,079 --> 01:39:36,628
just as men act - well
or badly - so must it;
577
01:39:36,919 --> 01:39:40,116
It must punish their wickedness,
reward their virtues.
578
01:39:40,480 --> 01:39:43,839
But man is independent and does what
pleases him
579
01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:45,353
according to free will.
580
01:39:47,359 --> 01:39:52,194
Here images govern the idea,
instead of expressing it.
581
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:57,758
The Almighty One - forever remaining so -
is not obliged to do anything,
582
01:39:57,759 --> 01:39:59,317
is bound by nothing.
583
01:40:00,399 --> 01:40:03,072
He is bound neither by the transgressor's
deeds,
584
01:40:03,439 --> 01:40:07,398
nor by the prayers of the good,
nor by the offerings of the penitent...
585
01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:13,150
Images lead and rule this
folk that you have freed,
586
01:40:13,839 --> 01:40:18,279
and strange wishes are their gods,
leading them back
587
01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:21,158
to the slavery of godlessness
and satisfaction.
588
01:40:21,559 --> 01:40:26,598
You have betrayed God to the gods, the idea
to images,
589
01:40:26,599 --> 01:40:29,033
this chosen folk to others,
590
01:40:30,159 --> 01:40:33,674
the extraordinary to the commonplace...
591
01:40:34,639 --> 01:40:36,516
Shall we kill him?
592
01:40:36,919 --> 01:40:40,150
Whensoever you went forth amongst
the people and employed those gifts
593
01:40:40,399 --> 01:40:44,551
which you were chosen to possess so
that you could fight for the divine idea
594
01:40:45,519 --> 01:40:49,959
whensoever you employed those gifts
for false and negative ends,
595
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:53,279
that you might rival the lowly pleasures
of strange peoples,
596
01:40:53,280 --> 01:40:54,998
and share them,
597
01:40:55,159 --> 01:40:59,238
and whenever you abandoned the
wasteland's renunciation
598
01:40:59,239 --> 01:41:01,833
and your gifts had led you to the highest
summit,
599
01:41:02,279 --> 01:41:04,798
you were ever hurled back,
600
01:41:04,799 --> 01:41:06,919
as a result of that misuse,
601
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:08,956
into the wasteland.
602
01:41:10,399 --> 01:41:13,559
Set him free, and if he desires,
603
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:15,357
he may live.
604
01:41:16,440 --> 01:41:19,759
But even in the wasteland you shall be
victorious
605
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:23,958
and achieve the goal: Unity with God.
