Quote context

[...]

- My son would be a slave. His hands would be gnarled and broken from the brick pits, his back scarred from the taskmaster's whip, but in his heart would burn the spirit of the living God.

- Does this god demand a scarred back and broken hands as the price of his favor?

- This desert god is the hope of the hopeless.

- Your place is in the palace halls. You have mounted to the sun on golden wings.

- You belong to me, to Nefretiri, to Sethi, to all those who love you.

- Do they love less who have no hope?

- Will you swear in the name of this god that you are not my mother?

- We do not even know his name.

- Then look into my eyes and tell me you are not my mother.

- Oh, Moses, Moses! I cannot, I cannot.

- I am your brother Aaron.
