Quote context

[...]

- But I believe anything you tell me when I'm in your arms.

- Why must you deny me and yourself?

- Because I am bound to a God, and to a people and to a shepherd girl.

- A shepherd girl? What can she be to you? Unless the desert sun has dulled your senses.

- Does she... grate garlic on her skin? Or is it soft as mine?

- Are her lips chafed and dry as the desert sand? Or are they moist and red like a pomegranate?

- Is it the fragrance of myrrh that scents her hair? Or is it the odor of sheep?

- There is a beauty beyond the senses, Nefretiri. Beauty like the quiet of green valleys and still waters. Beauty of the spirit that you cannot understand.

- Perhaps not.

- But beauty of the spirit will not free your people, Moses. You will come to me or they will never leave Egypt.

- The fate of Israel is not in your hands, Nefretiri.

- Oh, isn't it?

- Who else can soften Pharaoh's heart? Or harden it?
