00:00:06,639 --> 00:00:09,791
And when Moses saw that the people were
naked
2
00:00:09,759 --> 00:00:14,345
for Aaron had made them naked unto their
shame among their enemies,
3
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,270
Then Moses stood in the gate ofthe camp, and said,
Who is on the Lord's side? Let him come unto me.
4
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,791
And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves
together unto him. And he said unto them,
5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,590
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every
man his sword by his side,
6
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,912
and go in and out rrom gate to gate
throughout the camp,
7
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:39,347
and slay every man his brother, and every man
his companion, and every man his neighbour.
8
00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:43,194
And the children of Levi did accordin0 to the
word of Moses:
9
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,546
And there fell of the people that day about
three thousand men.
10
00:01:22,239 --> 00:01:25,186
Act 1
Scene 1 : The Calling of Moses
11
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,105
Only one
12
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,548
infinite
13
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,981
omnipresent
14
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,347
unperceived
15
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,945
and inconceivable God!
16
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:47,343
Here lay your shoes aside.
You have gone far enough now;
17
00:02:49,639 --> 00:03:03,065
you stand on holy ground.
Be God's prophet!
18
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:10,066
God of my fathers,
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
19
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:17,345
who reawakened their great thoughts
in my own mind,
20
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:27,539
O God, ask not Thy servant to be Thy
prophet.
21
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:41,143
l am old, l ask Thee
Iet me tend my sheep in peace.
22
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:51,064
You have seen your kindred enslaved,
the truth you have known,
23
00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:57,706
so you can do nothing else:
24
00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:03,226
You must set your folk free!
25
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:21,868
Who am l to combat the power
and force of that blindness?
26
00:04:22,959 --> 00:04:36,863
United with God in oneness,
to Him joined, from Pharaoh torn loose!
27
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:51,183
What will give them
proof of my mandate?
28
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:00,260
The name of one holy!
29
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:11,902
The Infinite will set them free;
they shall no longer perish in bondage.
30
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:19,580
No one will believe me!
31
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,737
Before their ears you shall do wondrous
things.
32
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,620
And their eyes will recognise you.
33
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:39,464
And by your rod will they behold you,
and admire your wisdom;
34
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:50,585
by your hand they will believe your power, and feel
in the Nile waters what their blood commands them.
35
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:58,057
But my tongue is not flexible.
36
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:10,426
l can think, but not speak
37
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:44,584
Even as from this, in darkness,
38
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,504
ere the light of truth fell thereupon,
39
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:57,985
will you perceive My
message in everything.
40
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:09,301
Aaron will be enlightened; he shall be your
mouth!
41
00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:28,100
From him will your own voice
then issue, as from you comes mine!
42
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:52,020
And your people will now be blest,
for this l promise to you:
43
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:04,224
Your folk are the chosen ones before all
others.
44
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,583
They are the folk of the one God alone.
45
00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:22,262
They are thus to know Him
and give Him alone their worship.
46
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:29,547
Also they will undergo all hardships
47
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:36,742
that have, in millennia, ever come to be
conceived.
48
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:48,228
And this l promise to you:
49
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:58,629
l shall conduct you forward,
50
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:07,577
to where, with the Eternal Oneness,
you'll be a model to every nation.
51
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,741
Now be gone hence!
52
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:22,179
Aaron nears you in the wasteland.
53
00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:32,309
You soon will see him
approach and greet him
54
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:42,184
Of this you are to inform him.
55
00:09:53,080 --> 00:10:00,020
Proclaim it!
56
00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:51,860
Scene 2: Moses meets
Aaron in the desert
57
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:56,944
O son of my father,
- O son of my father, brother in spirit,
58
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:02,830
are you sent by mighty - through whom the
Only One is to speak, now hear me and Him,
59
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,139
God?
- And tell me what you perceive.
60
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,828
My brother,
61
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:21,108
did the Almighty One
give you me as His vessel,
62
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,985
to pour rorth eternal
grace on our brothers?
63
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,106
Grace is granted through recognition.
64
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:51,621
O happy folk, to have one god alone
to belong to,
65
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,417
Others live within a people, only
66
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:07,628
against whose forces no other power prevails. - Only in
fantasy, but God the Alm_ghty exists apart from men.
67
00:13:19,039 --> 00:13:23,579
O vision of highest fantasy,
68
00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:29,507
how glad it is, that you have enticed it to form.
- How can fantasy thus picture the unimageable?
69
00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:34,657
Love will surely not
70
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:43,622
weary of ima0e formin0.
- Folk set apart to know the ever unseen One,
71
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:51,499
Happy is this folk to revere its God so!
... to reflect on greatness unimagined.
72
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:58,978
To love forever with a
thousand time more devotion
73
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:07,106
Chosen is this folk, one God alone
74
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:20,387
than all other ea_hly peoples
for their many godly beings.
75
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:37,945
Folk, chosen by the Only One,
76
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:50,348
Folk, chosen by the Only One, can you
worship what you dare not even conceive?
77
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,865
Dare not?
78
00:14:56,399 --> 00:15:00,621
Not conceived, because unseen, because
invisible
79
00:15:02,039 --> 00:15:07,421
because infinite, because eternal, because
ever-present, because all-powe_ul.
80
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,979
The one God is almighty.
81
00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:22,427
Thou punisheth sins of the father
on his children and children's children.
82
00:15:23,559 --> 00:15:30,625
Punish? Are we able to ori_inate what thou
demand'st as outcome? - O righteous God:
83
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,791
Thou rewardest those who are faithful...
84
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:39,708
to Thy commandments! - O ri_hteous God: Thou
hast directed how everythina must befall.
85
00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:43,833
How good Thou a_! - Then who is
rewarded? The one who could or...
86
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:49,984
- the one who could not want things
othe_ise? Thou hearest the pleas of beggars,
87
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:56,906
takest up the oflerings made by the good. - O almiyhty God. dothe
offerings ofbeggars then buyThee, whoThyselt made them poor?
88
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,428
Purify your thinking.
89
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:11,347
Free it from worthless things,
90
00:16:13,039 --> 00:16:16,817
Let it be righteous,
91
00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:28,623
no other reward is given your o_erings.
92
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:37,862
Only an Almighty God
could such a weak,
93
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:46,026
and downtrodden people have chosen
94
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:52,343
to exhibit all His might and His
great wonders to them,
95
00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:07,259
and to teach them, in
Him alone to believe.
96
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:13,826
Almighty One!
97
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,577
Law of thought irresistible
forces fulfilment
98
00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:31,948
Release them from
Pharaoh's harsh bondage.
99
00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:54,386
Scene 3: Moses and Aaron bring
God's Message to the People
100
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:11,828
l saw him, just as a fiery flame spran_ forth
and called him!
101
00:18:12,079 --> 00:18:15,345
He threw himself on his knees
and concealed his face in the sand.
102
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,222
He then went forth. In the wasteland.
103
00:18:20,279 --> 00:18:24,944
He passed by my house like a
Iuminous cloud, even so came he by.
104
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,939
He floated rather than walked.
Hardly indeed did he touch the ground,
105
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,301
and quickly passed from my sight.
106
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,670
l called him, but he didn't notice me, or pause,
and then l heard it said
107
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:45,301
A god had commanded that he meet
his brother, Moses, in the desert.
108
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:52,660
Moses, he who murdered the guard?
109
00:18:52,880 --> 00:19:03,108
Moses! He ran away! We then su_ered the wrath of
Pharaoh! Moses! Now returning, will he stir rebellion?
110
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:09,418
Are we now bound to serve a new god?
Moses! Another god: Other ofFerings!
111
00:19:09,759 --> 00:19:11,819
He will be our protector!
112
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,940
The olden gods also protected us.
113
00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:27,620
And if one of them failed, you could turn to
another.
114
00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:37,939
O ask not the gods, then,
impossibility's fulfilment.
115
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:46,022
The other gods only helped our oppressors... - Stronger
than our other gods? - This god will come to our aid.
116
00:19:47,079 --> 00:19:56,068

117

lfwe are tojudge him by this Moses then blood oflerings
will be needed. The new god also will not help us!
118
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:14,666
The new god helps us not!
Blood offerings! Blood oflerings!
119
00:20:18,039 --> 00:20:29,986
Blaspheme not! There are gods who only
punish, and those who only favour.
120
00:20:32,319 --> 00:20:38,543
Many often must be appeased;
- Blood offerings!
121
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,738
Others can be won over forever.
- Blood offerings!

O holy, worshipful God, be Thou revealed in all Thy
glory. Then He shall be our God and the God of Israel,
124
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,425
- l serve in love ofThy greatness. - Offalse and powerless
_mages. - Whom we serve, to whom we make omer_ngs.
125
00:21:05,839 --> 00:21:13,303
A loving God - heed not the liars - He reveals
himself in 0lory - A soarin_ God he lifts us to Him.
126
00:21:17,839 --> 00:21:21,344
Heed not the lying ones!
He will free us!
127
00:21:22,319 --> 00:21:27,178
The gods don't love us!
We will love Him!
128
00:21:28,519 --> 00:21:32,820
Who is this would mightier be than Pharaoh's
gods are?
129
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:38,667
We want to make offerings! Leave us
in peace now! We want to worship!
130
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,700
Continue working!
131
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,302
Lest it become harder!
132
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,778
He shall make us free!
133
00:21:54,759 --> 00:22:01,859
See Moses and Aaron! Moses' powerFul head!
Moses, his rod in his hand, moving slowly -
134
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,900
He's waiting or is he moving?
135
00:22:06,039 --> 00:22:15,381
Moses waits! No, he's moving slowly! Moses
waits! He moves! Moses waits! No, he moves!
136
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:27,263
Mighty his whitened head, and strong is his
arm! His powe_ul head! See!
137
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:34,379
Aaron, a young man no more, moves along
with a light step -
138
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,417
Far before him, and yet stands close to him! No he goes
before! Is Aaron at Moses' side now? In frontor behind him?
139
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,712
They are moving, but not in space!
140
00:22:52,759 --> 00:23:00,019
Are nearer - are farther - are higher
- are deeper - Have vanished wholly!
141
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,577
See Moses! See Aaron!
They have arrived!
142
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,861
Bring you good tidings, word from the mighty
new god?
143
00:23:21,559 --> 00:23:26,702
Come you to lead us, once more to make us
hopeful?
144
00:23:28,079 --> 00:23:34,224
We yearn to give him gold, goods, and living
oflerings!
145
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:42,661
Take, do not ask us. Selr love compels us,
forces us to make offerings,
146
00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:50,503
not only for his ravour; giving itself
is pleasure, the highest favour!
147
00:24:17,599 --> 00:24:21,377
The Only One, infinite, All-powe_ul One
148
00:24:21,599 --> 00:24:27,778
the Omnipresent One, invisible, inconceivable
- He's chosen you before all other people...
149
00:24:31,519 --> 00:24:38,187
demands no o_ering from you: He wants not a part, for
everything's wanted. ... and gives you alone His...
150
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:44,059
... unbounded holy favour.
151
00:24:48,839 --> 00:24:51,980
On your knees then, to give Him worship!
152
00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:58,537
Worship?
Whom?
153
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:03,981
Where is he?
l see Him not!
154
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:15,261
Has He gentle or angry mien?
Are we to love Him or to fear Him?
155
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,144
Where is he?
Point him out?
156
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,340
We want to kneel!
157
00:25:25,519 --> 00:25:30,457
We want to bring beasts for Him, and gold,
grain and wine!
158
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:36,588
All will go to your God almighty, if we are His
people,
159
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,380
if He is our God and if He guards us well.
160
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,857
But then where is He? Point Him out!
161
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,617
Close your eyes
162
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,138
Stop off your hearing
163
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,897
For in this way you
shall hear and see him!
164
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,857
No living man otherwise perceives him!
165
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,502
Can He never be seen?
166
00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:33,227
ls He never visible?
167
00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:44,785
He, your most mighty of gods,
cannot show Himself before us?
168
00:26:59,079 --> 00:27:04,620
But the righteous shall see Him.
169
00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:20,541
l saw how He gleamed! - He must
be our god! - You soaring God!
170
00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:28,103
Then why need the
murderer ever fear him?
171
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,259
Who sees Him not is forsaken!
172
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:45,023
Then we must all be forsaken, since
we still see him not! Ha ha ha!
173
00:27:54,519 --> 00:28:01,346
Heep away with your new god, with this
almighty one!
174
00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:15,945
Through him we do not
want our freedom!
175
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:21,743
Keep far away, like your god!
The all-present deity!
176
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,347
We fear not, nor love we your god!
177
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:33,500
So little does he give reward or chastise!
178
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,099
Through him we do not
want our freedom!
179
00:29:14,119 --> 00:29:19,308
Almighty One, now my
strength is exhausted,
180
00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:32,140
and my thought becomes powerless in
Aaron's word!
181
00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:54,783
Silence!
182
00:29:55,599 --> 00:29:59,593
The word is mine and the deed!
183
00:29:59,599 --> 00:30:00,498
The word is mine and the deed!
184
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,665
Aaron! - Aaron, what're you
doing? What's happening, Aaron?
185
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:24,422
This rod leads you:
186
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:34,097
Look, a serpent!
187
00:30:37,319 --> 00:30:43,338
Flee! The serpent grows!
It's twisting!
188
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:57,657
See, it's turning against the people!
189
00:31:03,079 --> 00:31:07,301
ln Moses' hand a rigid rod:
190
00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:15,819
The law.
191
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:23,505
ln my own hand the most
supple of serpents:
192
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,625
Discretion.
193
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:49,497
Now stand so, as it commands!
194
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,103
Move! Go farther back!
195
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:11,298
Come this way! Go that way! Move!
Take other places!
196
00:32:16,319 --> 00:32:21,747
We are helpless. It has us in bonds!
197
00:32:30,279 --> 00:32:36,537
Know then the might, that this staff
198
00:32:48,799 --> 00:32:52,941
imparts to the leader!
199
00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:24,468
A marvel ha6 tllled ufi wlth terror: The rod changed to a fterpent, fihowft
Aaron as lord otthis people. - How great ifi the might otthis Aaron!
200
00:33:27,759 --> 00:33:33,460
ls Aaron the servant of Moses?
201
00:33:37,359 --> 00:33:42,787
Does Moses in turn serve this new god?
202
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:51,382
How vast is the might of this great god,
203
00:33:55,160 --> 00:34:00,382
when such mighty persons do serve him!
204
00:34:04,359 --> 00:34:07,739
We want to serve him! - He shall make
us free! - We want to make offerings!
205
00:34:31,119 --> 00:34:34,590
Your rod compels us,
206
00:34:34,599 --> 00:34:38,866
yet it does not compel Pharaoh
207
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,620
to give us freedom!
208
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,391
O your spirit has been broken
209
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,268
and your pride is shrunken.
210
00:35:15,679 --> 00:35:19,468
Hoping not, you labour,
211
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,985
have no faith in God or yourselves,
212
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,826
for your heart is sick!
213
00:35:32,559 --> 00:35:37,748
This way you will not vanquish Pharaoh!
214
00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:45,746
Pharaoh is powerFul!
- We are weak!
215
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:54,305
See Moses' hand:
So hale it is, and strong.
216
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,945
But now Moses' heart is like your own,
217
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,748
because he knows you lack spirit.
218
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,905
Placing the hand on the heart,
that's sick just as yours is,
219
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:17,503
see!
220
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,342
Leprous! Leprous!
221
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:32,591
Flee! Flee! Shun his path.
And touch him not
222
00:36:32,599 --> 00:36:37,617
you will be sick!
Leprous! Leprous!
223
00:36:57,639 --> 00:37:00,859
Therein see yourselves,
224
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,102
Weak,
225
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,024
sick,
226
00:37:07,679 --> 00:37:13,744
detested, enslaved, tormented!
227
00:37:21,159 --> 00:37:27,463
Now, even there in Moses' bosom
the spirit of great God dwells,
228
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,780
that soon will force this Pharaoh to release
you.
229
00:37:37,119 --> 00:37:38,667
See!
230
00:37:40,199 --> 00:37:46,025
Moses now places that leprous hand
upon his strong and healthy heart...
231
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,260
Marvel!
232
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:59,106
The hand is now hale and strong!
233
00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:10,581
Discover therein your likeness.
234
00:38:15,079 --> 00:38:19,699
Your spirit shall prevail over Pharaoh.
235
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:26,068
O Aaron has shown as a marvel.
- The hand that can be hale or sickly,
236
00:38:26,119 --> 00:38:32,867
- is proof of the being of this God,
who yet will not show His visage.

Everything for freedom!
241
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,097
Now let us shatter the shackles!
242
00:39:11,559 --> 00:39:13,380
And kill the taskmasters!
243
00:39:14,119 --> 00:39:15,826
And kill all their priests!
244

Destroy all their idols!
245
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,303
Off to the desert!
246
00:39:27,519 --> 00:39:31,263
Madmen you are! How can the
desert give you nurture?
247
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:40,145
ln the wasteland pureness of thou0ht
will provide you, nurture you, sustain you...

00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:52,578
- and the Eternal lets you see an image oF your
earthly good Fortune
250
00:39:52,679 --> 00:39:57,424
in every spiritual marvel.
251
00:40:02,599 --> 00:40:07,060
The All-knowing One knows that
you are still a child-like folk
252
00:40:07,159 --> 00:40:12,188
and does not expect from a child
what's hard for elders.
253
00:40:12,199 --> 00:40:17,342
He reasons this way:
That every child grows older
254
00:40:23,639 --> 00:40:29,146
and every elder shall be wiser.
255
00:40:35,039 --> 00:40:40,467
He grants you time to
devote to the pleasure
256
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:46,703
of preparations and the wisdom
that agedness will bring with it.
257
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,860
He never will fail to provide
you with food in the desert .
258
00:41:10,159 --> 00:41:14,824
The Almighty One can change mere sand to
fruit,
259
00:41:19,599 --> 00:41:24,867
fruit to gold, gold to
rapture, rapture to soul.
260
00:41:34,679 --> 00:41:39,344
Who feeds the Nile, that
nurtures this land?
261
00:41:47,559 --> 00:41:52,543
He, who changed rod to serpent
and health to leprosy's terror.
262
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:05,540
See the Nile's clear water within this jar:
263
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:24,066
No, you are not wrong.
What you see is blood!
264
00:42:31,679 --> 00:42:35,423
What does this mean?
265
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:50,028
This is your own blood,
that gives the land nurture,
266
00:42:50,119 --> 00:42:54,466
as the flow of the Nile.
267
00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:01,703
You fatten the servants of falsehood,
the slaves of false gods.
268
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:16,863
But the Almighty One will free you
and free your blood.
269
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,338
Chosen folk!
270
00:43:25,039 --> 00:43:31,218
You He has chosen over other peoples
271
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:43,265
to be the people of God alone;
272
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:47,660
Him alone to worship,
in no other's service!
273
00:43:56,599 --> 00:44:00,263
You will be rree then
from toil and misery!
274
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:06,265
This is His promise:
275
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:17,017
He will then lead you to a land
where milk and honey flow.
276
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:32,020
There you shall have earthly pleasure
from what in spirit was vowed your fathers.
277
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:50,138
What for Pharaoh remains,
is once more the Nile's clear water alone.
278
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,626
And therein is he sure to drown. !
279
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,817
We are His chosen folk before all others,
280
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:22,738
Him alone to worship,
Him alone to serve:
281
00:45:34,039 --> 00:45:38,579
We shall be free then
from toil and misery
282
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,262
This is His promise:
283
00:45:48,199 --> 00:45:53,661
He will then lead us to a land
where milk and honey flow
284
00:45:57,079 --> 00:46:03,542
and we shall enjoy then what
He once did promise our fathers.
285
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:27,707
Almighty, Thou art stronger than Egyptian
gods are,
286
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:38,140
Thou will strike down Pharaoh and all his
servants.
287
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:48,624
Now we are freed from toil by Moses and
Aaron.
288
00:46:49,079 --> 00:46:56,942
lnfinite God, we worship Thee, consecrate to
Thee omerings and our devotion
289
00:47:05,599 --> 00:47:13,177
Thou hast chosen us,
Iead us to the promised land.
290
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:18,787
We shall be free, free!
291
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,266
Act 2
Before the Mountain of Revelation
292
00:47:31,599 --> 00:47:42,898
Where is Moses? - Where is our leader?
- It's been a long time since he was seen!
293
00:47:43,119 --> 00:47:52,984
Never. Never, never shall we see him!
- Where is he? Where is Moses?
294
00:47:57,159 --> 00:48:14,420
Abandoned are we! Where is his God?
Where is the infinite? The infinite? Moses!
295
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:39,304
Moseft? Nevershall we see him! - Where ift his god? Where ift the
infinite? Never. never, never shall we see him! - Where is he?___
296
00:49:44,639 --> 00:49:48,019
Forty days now!
297
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:56,340
Forty days now, yet we're still waiting here!
Forty days now! When will this end?
298
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,705
How long is this to continue?
299
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:08,548
Forty days now we have awaited Moses, and
still no one knows either law or command!
300
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:15,780
Unperceivable command from One who's yet
unperceived.
301
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,342
All of the best pastures are occupied by
Judah!
302
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:28,227
Far worse than in Egypt, to toil without day of
rest, as Ephraim makes Benjamin's sons do!
303
00:50:31,679 --> 00:50:36,026
Ephraim's women have been stolen by
Benjamin's sons!
304
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:48,584
Thus might now reigns! Lewdness knows not
its punishment, virtue knows not reward!
305
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:57,503
Forty days now we have waited vainly
306
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:09,702
before this summit!
307
00:51:17,559 --> 00:51:26,025
When Moses has come down from the
summit,
308
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:38,468
from where the laws are revealed to him
alone,
309
00:51:42,559 --> 00:51:49,181
you shall hear both law and command from
my mouth
310
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:05,141
You cannot expect form before idea,
311
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:21,186
for together they'll
make their appearance.
312
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,898
That is too late for us! The people are
downcast!
313
00:52:33,079 --> 00:52:40,225
They distrust this high summit, for the
enclosure keeps the revelation far from them.
314
00:52:40,199 --> 00:52:45,786
They rage, they trust not one of us,
315
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:50,191
think the enclosure is senseless,
the revelation is pretext,
316
00:52:50,199 --> 00:52:53,658
Moses' silence means flight!
317
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,671
Hear! Hear! Too late!
318
00:53:06,679 --> 00:53:10,025
Where is Moses? We'll tear him asunder,
319
00:53:10,039 --> 00:53:13,908
Where is the great Omnipresent One?
How can He condone this?
320
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:23,220
Where is the Almighty One? Why does He now
impede us? Have no fear! Destroy him!
321
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,988
The Inconceivable God did not forbid it!
322
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:34,700
Give us back our gods to worship,
Iet them bring us order,
323
00:53:35,639 --> 00:53:39,747
lest we tear you limb from limb, you who took
command and law away from us!
324
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,912
Aaron, help us! Speak out for us!
325
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:50,266
They'll murder us! They pay you heed!
You have their hearts!
326
00:53:53,079 --> 00:53:58,985
O Israel,
327
00:53:59,960 --> 00:54:07,901
my brother Moses tarries
where he always is,
328
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:15,867
though he be near to us or far:
329
00:54:16,519 --> 00:54:22,186
He rests upon that summit,
330
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:34,578
close to his God.
331
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:46,027
lt may be that he has left us,
332
00:54:46,039 --> 00:54:50,500
being far from us.
333
00:54:52,639 --> 00:54:59,068
Or maybe his God has now left him,
being so near to him.
334
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:07,864
Perhaps he approached too near!
335
00:55:10,639 --> 00:55:18,422
That God is so severe,
336
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:24,898
it may he that He has destroyed him!
337
00:55:26,559 --> 00:55:31,099
His God may have destroyed him!
The gods have probably destroyed him!
338
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:38,137
The 0ods indeed defltroyed him! The aod.fl fio miahty destroyed this offender! -

341
00:55:59,599 --> 00:56:01,818
Aaron, help us.
342
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:06,020
Relent!
343
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:19,142
O Israel!
344
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:26,942
l return your gods to you,
345
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:39,217
and also 0ive you to them, just as you have
demanded.
346
00:56:43,039 --> 00:56:55,066
Leave distant things to one infinite,
347
00:56:55,079 --> 00:57:07,663
since to you the gods have ever present
and always common substance.
348
00:57:07,679 --> 00:57:09,784
Rejoice!
349
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:18,060
You shall provide the stuff, l shall give it a
form: Rejoice, be glad! Rejoice, Israel! Rejoice!
350
00:57:18,159 --> 00:57:25,828
Common and visible,
imagined in gold forever.
351
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,059
Bring out your gold, yield it!
352
00:57:29,159 --> 00:57:34,268
Call him forth! You then shall be happy! Our gods,
imagined in our vision; our gods, masters of our senses!
353
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:34,872
You are earthly and visible, manifest,
assuring our certainty.
354
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:41,103
You are earthly and visible, manifest,
assuring our certainty.
355
00:57:41,119 --> 00:57:47,457
Your extent and your finiteness do not ask For
that which our hearts deny.
356
00:57:47,559 --> 00:57:50,666
O gods, near to all our feelings,
O gods, we can understand you.
357
00:57:50,719 --> 00:58:03,508
Virtue's prize is great ecstasy; acts of wrong
are punished by righteousness.
358
00:58:05,519 --> 00:58:13,666
Show us how are deeds answered.
O gods, let as see your power.
359
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:25,544
Rejoice, Israel, be glad, Israel!
360
00:58:25,679 --> 00:58:32,347
Bright is this present instant, and dismal
that distant timelessness.
361
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:38,066
Pleasure shuns not its consequence,
fearlessly seeks it out willingly.
362
00:58:38,079 --> 00:58:44,098
Joy borders life and also death, heightened by
each,
363
00:58:44,199 --> 00:58:50,708
from each partakes. Danger inflames our love
of life, steadfastness too and bravery.
364
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:03,217
You have given your gods your innermost
feelings as content and form.
365
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:11,984
Now your gods' great glory fastens your gold.
Renounce all your wealth!
366
00:59:13,199 --> 00:59:26,420
Make yourself poor, make them rich!
367
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:34,502
They will not let you ever hunger!
368
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:50,943
Rejoice, Israel! Rejoice!
369
01:00:02,199 --> 01:00:06,978
This gold image attests that in
all things that are, a god lives.
370
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:12,663
Unchangeable, even as
a law, is the stuff
371
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:16,503
the gold that you have given.
372
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:23,825
Seemingly changeable,
as all else must be.
373
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:32,385
Much less matters the shape that l have
provided.
374
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:44,339
Revere yourselves in this gold symbol.
375
01:05:30,719 --> 01:05:38,991
O goldly form, your rays give warmth,
376
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:54,553
you heal, as never the sun's rays have
healed.
377
01:05:54,559 --> 01:06:02,592
l merely placed my hand on you,
378
01:06:02,599 --> 01:06:13,943
and even now the crippled limbs begin
moving.
379
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:07,860
Here, o great gods, take the only tatters,
380
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:24,303
that have protected us from
desert sand and sun's blazing
381
01:07:27,239 --> 01:07:32,906
and here are the last of our morsels,
382
01:07:33,039 --> 01:07:39,980
those which we have begged for tomorrow's
sustenance.
383
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:16,301
The final living moments that are still
remaining to us we give as offering.
384
01:08:20,079 --> 01:08:27,179
They have slain themselves as offering!
385
01:09:56,279 --> 01:10:02,150
Free, under lords of their choosing,
386
01:10:02,119 --> 01:10:08,138
they'll be governed only by those gods
387
01:10:08,279 --> 01:10:13,866
who rule with power.
388
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,179
Tribal leaders,
389
01:10:19,239 --> 01:10:31,857
swear now with me to this
image of governing power.
390
01:10:32,159 --> 01:10:39,828
We speak for all of the tribes that name us
Ieader,
391
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:46,670
O gods, see how we
kneel down before you,
392
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:53,500
We yield to a power that is higher, being
highest!
393
01:10:54,239 --> 01:10:58,939
Free, under lords of their choosing!
394
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:21,668
As high as thou_ht were we once up-raised,
present afar, future at hand!
395
01:11:22,079 --> 01:11:27,541
Deep as life are we
degraded, deep as life.
396
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:32,267
Annihilate this image of the temporal;
397
01:11:34,359 --> 01:11:39,263
clear be the view of eternity!
398
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,747
Here, view now eternity,
399
01:11:55,119 --> 01:12:01,377
since your present life has so little value.
400
01:14:39,399 --> 01:14:45,828
Happy are the folk and
great is the wonder,
401
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:56,029
and the rapture, and the
joy they've created.
402
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:03,793
None is untransfigured; each is exalted.
403
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:10,143
None is unafFected; each is enraptured.
404
01:15:16,159 --> 01:15:22,668
Powe_ul human virtues are reawakened:
405
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:30,627
Grave and joyful; temperate, dissolute,
chee_ul,
406
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:39,265
pleased and longing, active and resting.
Mindfulness,
407
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:45,381
lust, abstention, greed,
profusion, and envy.
408
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:55,268
All of beauty, goodness, ugliness,
evil, all that can be witnessed,
409
01:15:55,239 --> 01:16:00,462
manifest, sensed.
410
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:08,943
Sense rirst gives to spirit sense.
Spirit then is sense.
411
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:19,461
Those gods who have given you spirit,
sense and spirit to affect you,
412
01:16:21,239 --> 01:16:25,222
let them be exalted!
413
01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:41,826
O golden of gods, your glow streams
through me with pleasure!
414
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:44,224
What gleams must be good.
415
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,739
Unassailable virtue of gold,
its virginity cannot be lost,
416
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:51,299
repaid as model and image.
417
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:23,459
O golden of gods, o priests who serve gods
so golden,
418
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:32,781
our blood, virginal and still unblemished,
419
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:44,906
is coldly metallic-as gold is,
not warmed to bear fruit.
420
01:17:47,319 --> 01:17:51,427
O great ones, enrapture your priesthood,
421
01:17:51,399 --> 01:18:00,388
transport us, arouse us to rirst
and last rapture,
422
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:15,424
Enkindle our blood, let it hiss against
cold gold as forth it rushes!
423
01:18:19,039 --> 01:18:23,977
O crimson gold!
424
01:18:56,520 --> 01:19:00,388
Blood oflerings!
425
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:02,257
ln your godly image we shall let our passions
live!
426
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:07,948
Holy is the creative power!
427
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:11,664
Holy is fertility!
428
01:23:12,359 --> 01:23:15,340
Holy is desire!
429
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:29,145
Great gods, who have given you spirit...
430
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:33,865
Senses, spirit to affect you.
O golden of gods. !
431
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:39,660
Gold gleams like lust!
Gold gleams like blood!
432
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:46,428
Human virtue is gold-like!
433
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:55,497
Gold is lust! Lust is wildness!! Gold is power,
devotion, and righteousness!
434
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:10,537
Bewildering gleam!
435
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:18,785
Moses is descending from the mountain!
436
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:41,386
Be gone,
437
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:50,786
you image of powerlessness to
enclose the boundless in an image finite!
438
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:56,824
The golden rays are now quenched!
439
01:25:57,319 --> 01:26:00,983
Once a0ain our 0od is unseen. - Every joy,
every pleasure, every promise is gone!
440
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:04,342
All is again dark gloom!
We must now escape from his might!
441
01:26:09,239 --> 01:26:11,868
Aaron, o what have you done?
442
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:18,497
Naught different, just my task as it ever has
been:
443
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:23,980
When your idea gave fo_h no word,
my word gave forth no image,
444
01:26:24,399 --> 01:26:29,702
l worked marvels for eyes and ears to
witness.
445
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:33,137
Commanded by whom?
446
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:40,226
As always, l heeded the
voice from within.
447
01:26:43,359 --> 01:26:44,702
But l did not instruct you.
448
01:26:47,039 --> 01:26:49,258
Nevertheless, l still comprehended.
449
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:53,467
Cease!
450
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:58,740
Your... mouth...
451
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:06,899
Your were far away from us...
452
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:13,703
There with my idea. That must have been
close to you!
453
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:24,066
When you remained apart we believed you
were dead.
454
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:30,152
From your words the people had,
455
01:27:30,159 --> 01:27:36,668
for long expected,
both law and commandment to come.
456
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:43,539
l was compelled to provide
an image for them.
457
01:27:47,119 --> 01:27:49,623
Your image faded at my word!
458
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:59,663
But your word was denied image and marvel,
which are detested by you.
459
01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:04,940
And yet was the marvel
an image, not more:
460
01:28:05,359 --> 01:28:09,581
When your word destroyed my image.
461
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:16,142
God's eternity opposes idols' transience!
462
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:24,138
No image this, no marvel!
463
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:30,548
These are the commands.
464
01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:39,108
The Everlasting One spoke them,
just as these tables
465
01:28:39,119 --> 01:28:43,386
so temporal, in the language
you are speaking.
466
01:28:52,159 --> 01:29:02,263
lsrael endures, thus proving the idea of One
Timeless.
467
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:14,586
Grant you now the power,
which idea has...
468
01:29:15,319 --> 01:29:18,346
over both word and image?
469
01:29:23,199 --> 01:29:25,543
l discern only this:
470
01:29:27,319 --> 01:29:31,666
That this folk shall remain protected.
471
01:29:37,720 --> 01:29:44,785
But then, a people only feel. l love this humble
folk.
472
01:29:45,279 --> 01:29:49,705
l live just for them and
want to sustain them.
473
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:56,103
lr the idea wills it. My love is for my idea.
l live just for it!
474
01:29:57,319 --> 01:30:01,268
You also would have loved this people,
475
01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:08,306
had you only seen how they lived when they
dared to see and feel and hope.
476
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:15,028
No folk is faithful unless it feels.
477
01:30:20,199 --> 01:30:23,818
You have not shaken me!
They must comprehend the idea!
478
01:30:24,359 --> 01:30:25,782
They live for that end!
479
01:30:30,319 --> 01:30:36,418
What a piteous people, a folk made
of martyrs they would then be!
480
01:30:37,239 --> 01:30:42,587
No folk can grasp more than just a partial
image,
481
01:30:43,359 --> 01:30:47,308
the perceivable part of the whole idea.
482
01:30:48,279 --> 01:30:53,741
Be understood by all the people in their
own accustomed way.
483
01:30:56,640 --> 01:30:59,063
Am l to debase the idea?
484
01:31:00,520 --> 01:31:05,264
Let me present it then,
485
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:10,431
describing without
specifying: Restrictions,
486
01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:14,945
fear-inspiring yet not too harsh,
insuring their understanding;
487
01:31:16,359 --> 01:31:18,464
further perseverance;
the need thus will be clearer.
488
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:22,187
Stern commandments,
489
01:31:22,159 --> 01:31:26,426
give rise to new hope and strengthen the
idea.
490
01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:33,459
Unbeknown, what you want will be done.
491
01:31:38,239 --> 01:31:47,467
Human wavering you'll find your people
still have... yet worthy of love.
492
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:50,587
l shall not live to see it!
493
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:59,418
You must live! You can do naught else!
494
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:02,343
You're bound to your idea so closely!
495
01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:08,061
Bound to my idea as even these tables do set
it forth...
496
01:32:08,159 --> 01:32:14,178
... They are images also, just part of the whole
idea.
497
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:21,468
Then l smash to pieces
both these tablets
498
01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:28,619
and l shall also ask Him to withdraw the task
given me.
499
01:32:29,159 --> 01:32:35,907
Faint-hearted one! You, who yet
have God's message,
500
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:40,861
without or with the tables.
501
01:32:41,399 --> 01:32:47,145
l, your mouth, do rightly guard your idea
502
01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:52,217
whenever l do utter it.
503
01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:55,978
ln image!
- Image of your idea;
504
01:32:56,239 --> 01:33:00,347
they are one, as all is
that emerges from it.
505
01:33:01,159 --> 01:33:04,027
l simply yield before necessity;
506
01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:10,024
for it is certain this folk will be sustained
507
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:13,982
to give proof of the eternal idea.
508
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:24,913
This is my mission: To
speak it more simply,
509
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:27,417
than l understand it.
510
01:33:29,319 --> 01:33:33,825
For He has chosen us!
- Yet, the knowing ones surely
511
01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:38,630
Before all others as H�s rolk, to serve the
on!_ God. - Will ever again discover it!
512
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:40,227
Him alone to worship.
513
01:33:43,039 --> 01:33:44,905
Look there!
- The fiery pillar!
514
01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:46,862
To lead us by night.
515
01:33:47,319 --> 01:33:52,622
Thus through me has God given a si0nal to
the people.
516
01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:55,228
The cloudlike pillar!
517
01:33:55,319 --> 01:33:56,742
lt leads us by day.
518
01:33:58,079 --> 01:33:59,945
Godless image!
519
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:05,620
God-sent signal, burning again glowing...
... where milk and honey flows
520
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:11,222
The Infinite thus shows not Himself,
- He will lead us to the Land...
521
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:14,979
but the way to Him
- and we shall enjoy then...
522
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:26,701
and the way to the Promised Land!
- What He once did promise our fathers.
523
01:34:38,319 --> 01:34:42,939
Almighty, Thou art stronger than the Egyptian
gods!
524
01:35:03,039 --> 01:35:04,587
lnconceivable God!
525
01:35:07,039 --> 01:35:10,464
lnexpressible, many-sided idea,
526
01:35:13,479 --> 01:35:16,620
will You let it be so explained?
527
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:22,106
Shall Aaron, my mouth,
fashion this image?
528
01:35:24,640 --> 01:35:28,713
Then l have fashioned
an image too, false,
529
01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:30,460
as an image must be.
530
01:35:32,960 --> 01:35:35,019
Thus am l defeated!
531
01:35:36,319 --> 01:35:42,304
Thus, all was but madness that l believed
before,
532
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:52,183
and can and must not be given voice.
533
01:36:12,319 --> 01:36:15,460
O Word,
534
01:36:16,199 --> 01:36:19,897
thou Word,
535
01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:25,146
that l lack!
536
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:05,784
Aaron, now this must cease!
537
01:37:06,199 --> 01:37:08,020
Will you then kill me?
538
01:37:08,159 --> 01:37:10,230
lt is not a matter of your life...
539
01:37:10,199 --> 01:37:11,622
The Promised Land...
540
01:37:11,760 --> 01:37:12,977
An image...
541
01:37:13,159 --> 01:37:16,584
l was to speak in images, while you spoke in
ideas;
542
01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:19,058
l was to speak to the
heart, you to the mind.
543
01:37:19,479 --> 01:37:22,984
You, from whom both
word and images flee,
544
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:29,106
you yourself remain, and live in the ima0es
you provided for the people to witness.
545
01:37:30,279 --> 01:37:33,352
Havin0 been alienated from the source, from
the idea,
546
01:37:33,319 --> 01:37:35,584
then neither word nor
image satisfied you...
547
01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:41,466
l was to pe_orm visible marvels, when the
word and the image from the mouth failed... !
548
01:37:42,439 --> 01:37:45,739
... but you were satisfied only by the act, the
deed.
549
01:37:46,319 --> 01:37:52,748
You then made the rod a leader, of my power a liberator.
And the water ofthe Nile attested the supreme might...
550
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:58,344
You then desired actually, physically,
to tread with your feet...
551
01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:02,668
... upon an unreal land
where milk and honey flowed.
552
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:07,633
You then struck the rock, instead of speaking
to it, as you were commanded,
553
01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:09,705
to make water flow forth from it...
554
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:14,471
The word alone was to have struck forth
refreshment from the naked rock...
555
01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:18,422
Never did your word reach the people without
meaning...
556
01:38:19,119 --> 01:38:21,907
And so with the rod l spoke to
557
01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:25,538
the rock in its language,
which the people also understand.
558
01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:28,507
You speak more simply
than you understand,
559
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:33,708
for you know that the rock is,
like the wasteland and the burning bush,
560
01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:37,497
three that give not to the body
what it needs with regard to spirit -
561
01:38:38,119 --> 01:38:42,420
the soul, whose very renunciation
is sufficient for eternal life.
562
01:38:43,199 --> 01:38:46,465
And the rock, even as all images,
obeys the word,
563
01:38:46,439 --> 01:38:48,863
from whence it came to be manifested.
564
01:38:50,159 --> 01:38:53,266
Thus, you won the people not for the eternal
One,
565
01:38:53,319 --> 01:38:54,537
but for yourself...
566
01:38:55,119 --> 01:38:58,260
For their freedom - so that they would become
a nation.
567
01:38:59,039 --> 01:39:01,702
To serve, to serve the divine idea
is the purpose...
568
01:39:01,960 --> 01:39:04,463
of the freedom for which this folk has been
chosen,
569
01:39:06,079 --> 01:39:09,026
You, however, expose
them to strange gods,
570
01:39:09,199 --> 01:39:12,180
to the calf and to the
pillars of fire and cloud;
571
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:16,099
ror you do as the people do,
because you feel and think as they do.
572
01:39:17,319 --> 01:39:20,300
And the god that you showed to them
is an image of powerlessness,
573
01:39:21,159 --> 01:39:23,537
is dependent upon a power beyond itself,
574
01:39:24,159 --> 01:39:27,505
must fulfil what it has promised, must do
575
01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:31,741
what it is asked, is bound to its word...
576
01:39:33,039 --> 01:39:36,578
just as men act - well
or badly - so must it;
577
01:39:36,880 --> 01:39:40,065
it must punish their wickedness, reward their
virtues.
578
01:39:40,479 --> 01:39:43,825
But man is independent and does what
pleases him
579
01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:45,341
according to free will.
580
01:39:47,319 --> 01:39:52,144
Here images govern the idea,
instead of expressing it.
581
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:57,750
The Almighty One - forever remaining so -
is not obliged to do anything,
582
01:39:57,720 --> 01:39:59,267
is bound by nothing.
583
01:40:00,359 --> 01:40:03,022
He is bound neither by the transgressor's
deeds,
584
01:40:03,399 --> 01:40:07,348
nor by the prayers of the good,
nor by the offerings of the penitent...
585
01:40:08,359 --> 01:40:13,138
lma0es lead and rule this folk that you have
freed,
586
01:40:13,800 --> 01:40:18,225
and strange wishes are their gods,
Ieading them back
587
01:40:18,279 --> 01:40:21,147
to the slavery or godlessness
and satisfaction.
588
01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:26,548
You have betrayed God to the gods, the idea
to images,
589
01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:28,983
this chosen folk to others,
590
01:40:30,119 --> 01:40:33,624
the extraordinary to the commonplace...
591
01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:36,465
Shall we kill him?
592
01:40:36,880 --> 01:40:40,099
Whensoever you went forth amongst
the people and employed those gifts
593
01:40:40,359 --> 01:40:44,501
which you were chosen to possess so
that you could fight for the divine idea
594
01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:49,905
whensoever you employed those gifts
for false and negative ends,
595
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:53,270
that you might rival the lowly pleasures
of strange peoples,
596
01:40:53,279 --> 01:40:54,986
and share them,
597
01:40:55,119 --> 01:40:59,193
and whenever you abandoned the
wasteland's renunciation
598
01:40:59,199 --> 01:41:01,782
and your gifts had led you to the highest
summit,
599
01:41:02,239 --> 01:41:04,743
you were ever hurled back,
600
01:41:04,760 --> 01:41:06,864
as a result of that misuse,
601
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:08,945
into the wasteland.
602
01:41:10,359 --> 01:41:13,511
Set him free, and if he desires,
603
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:15,346
he may live.
604
01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:19,750
But even in the wasteland you shall be
victorious
605
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:23,947
and achieve the goal: Unity with God.
