Eat a Thea. Oh, Archie, did you say
0:13
something? Have you seen my gold?
0:13
Eat a Thea. Where are my gold?
0:15
Rings I've been looking. For him for two weeks.
0:17
I can't find him anywhere. Oh, Archer, for I gave him to
0:23
the Israelites. You did what?
0:26
I gave them to the Israelites when they was leaving Egypt.
0:32
What are you going? Give my gold rings to them
0:34
Israelites for. Oh, well, they were so nice.
0:38
When they came to the door, they asked for silver and gold, and I
0:44
gave them to them. Archer.
0:46
You know, I felt so sorry for those Israelites.
0:50
They've been working real hard for the last 400 years.
0:56
Oh, myotropher, I don't think we paid them.
1:03
Well, of course we didn't pay them.
1:05
Meet Athena. That's why they're slaves.
1:08
Slaves don't get paid and they don't get my gold rings neither.
1:13
Oh, but Archifer, it seemed like the right thing to do at the
1:18
time. Well, it was the wrong thing to
1:20
do at the time. You don't give slaves nothing.
1:23
No W wanting something all the time, but.
1:26
Archifer. They ain't slaves no more.
1:30
Pharaoh let him go. Remember?
1:32
How could I forget? I've been making bricks ever
1:36
since they left. I'm making bricks.
1:39
That's hard work, you know. Pharaoh hadn't drowned in the
1:42
Red Sea. I'd kill him myself for letting
1:45
no slaves go free. Pharaoh didn't have no choice,
1:49
Archipher. It was God who let his people
1:53
out of Egypt. Why the people were saying?
1:57
That God was Jehovah Rohi, the Lord God.
2:02
They're Good Shepherd. Why?
2:04
There was a cloud in the daytime, and there was fire in
2:10
the night time, and the Israelites were following it
2:15
right out of Egypt. Archer for you should have seen
2:18
it. Archer for It was amazing.
2:21
Well, if they were still here making bricks, I could have seen
2:25
it, but I ain't had time to see nothing.
2:30
Have you seen my belt? That gold one?
2:33
No, the silver one. Oh.
2:36
I gave it to the Israelites archifer.
2:40
As a matter of fact, I gave the gold one and the silver one to
2:45
the Israelites. I just couldn't help myself
2:49
Archifer. It was the strangest feeling.
2:53
I just wanted to give them everything in the house that was
2:58
made out of silver and gold. That why we've been in that A
3:03
paper plates for the past two weeks.
3:05
Yes, that's why. Did I do something wrong?
3:10
Aren't you fair? No.
3:12
You didn't do nothing wrong. You just gave away everything we
3:16
own. That's all.
3:19
I'm going to go to my room and put on my robe and try to relax
3:23
while I figure out a way to keep making money in this bricklaying
3:26
business of ours, seeing how I'm suddenly one of the poorest men
3:30
in all of Egypt. Ho ho, I sure hope he doesn't
3:35
want his silk robe. I used it to wrap all the silver
3:42
and gold to give it to the Israelites.
3:45
Ho dear, I better go make some supper.
3:50
Have you seen my robe? Yeah, I feel like 1,000,000
4:02
bucks. I've never felt this good
4:05
before. Why?
4:07
Back in Egypt when we were slaves making bricks, I was too
4:11
old to work. The Egyptians doctor said I'd
4:14
die any day. I was so weak and tired I
4:17
couldn't even move a muscle. There you are.
4:24
You're having a hard time keeping up with you.
4:26
You're not tired, are you? Me.
4:29
Tired. No way, Jose.
4:31
God is Jehovah Ralph on my healer.
4:34
All right, well, we got a long way to the promise line.
4:35
Come on, let's go. Yeah, you're going ahead.
4:37
OK, I'll catch you up with you. I'm talking to these kids right
4:40
now. Oh, you know, if this was last
4:43
week, I would have believed. But today, you're a new man.
4:46
I am a new man. Hey.
4:49
When Farrell freed us from Egypt.
4:52
And I try to talk my family and they're leaving me behind.
4:55
They didn't want them carrying me through the desert.
4:58
I'd be a burden too big to handle.
5:01
Father, there you are. I've been looking.
5:03
All over for you. I never thought that you could
5:06
get ahead of me being as old as you are.
5:09
Yeah, well, I might look old, but I don't feel old, 'cause God
5:12
is Jehovah Rafah, my healer. Well, come on, we.
5:15
Still have a long way to go. Yeah, you go on ahead.
5:17
OK. I'm staying here a couple more
5:18
minutes. I'm talking to these kids.
5:21
OK, Hey, you're a walking miracle.
5:25
Get it? I made.
5:26
A joke of walking miracle, I cracked myself up.
5:34
I really am a walking miracle. The family carried me through
5:38
the red scene all the way to the little lake called Mara.
5:42
It was there that God told. I was gonna say keep be our
5:46
healer. Jehovah, Rafah.
5:48
When I heard that, I jumped up on my feet.
5:51
I've been walking ever since. I'm a walking miracle.
5:56
See my mom and dad. Oh yeah.
5:58
I just talked to both of them. They're on up ahead.
6:00
Well, let's. Catch up.
6:01
With them. Yeah, go on ahead.
6:03
I'll be there in a minute. But I wanted to race you.
6:06
Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
6:11
All right. And your mark.
6:13
Get sick. Hey, that's.
6:17
Jig. Hi, Mama.
6:25
Hi Gabe. Why are you washing your
6:27
clothes? Well, something very exciting is
6:30
gonna happen 3 days from now, so why don't you bring me your
6:33
Nasus outfit and I'll wash it for you.
6:35
Why? Well, Moses said that Jehovah
6:38
Shama is coming down that mountain in three days.
6:40
Who's coming? Down the mountain, Jehovah
6:42
Shama. Yes, John is.
6:44
Coming well. He is very excited about
6:48
Jehovah. That's a good thing, Mama.
6:51
Is it true? That Shamma the.
6:53
Whale is. Shaving the whale?
6:57
Not that I know of. Mary.
6:58
No. Oh.
6:59
That. Gabe, I knew.
7:01
He was like. He told me.
7:03
That you told. Him to go get his dirtiest.
7:05
Clothes because. We were gonna walk up the
7:07
mountain to see. Shamma the.
7:08
I did not tell Gabe that we were gonna see a whale.
7:11
I told Gabe that in three days, Jehovah Shama was gonna be up on
7:16
the mountain. Is that what Moses?
7:20
Was talking about. Yes.
7:21
That's what Moses was talking about.
7:23
Now bring me all your dirty clothes so I can wash them.
7:26
You need to look nice for Jehovah shama.
7:27
OK. Mama.
7:29
Mama. Yes.
7:31
What is Jehovah Shama? Well, Mary Jehovah Shama means
7:35
the Lord is present. Present.
7:38
Yes, yes. It is such a delight to see my
7:43
children so excited about the Lord Mama.
7:47
Why is? God giving Mary a present and
7:50
not me. And I have no idea what you're
7:52
talking about, Eli. Mary said that Jehovah Shama was
7:55
going to go to the top of the mountain on her birthday.
7:58
And gave her a birthday present. Mary's birthdays in three days.
8:02
I forgot about that. So it's true, no?
8:06
Yes. No, not the birthday.
8:09
I told Mary that Jehovah Shama was going to be up on the
8:11
mountain in three days. That's what I told.
8:14
So Gabe was right. We.
8:16
Can build her own SeaWorld. Boy, what is a SeaWorld?
8:19
No, Gabe was not right. Don't listen to your little
8:22
brother. I told both of them that Jehovah
8:25
Shama is going to be on the mountain in three days.
8:27
Jehovah Shama means that the Lord is present.
8:32
And by present, I mean that the Lord is there.
8:37
Yeah, now you get it. But when's the last time you
8:40
watched this? Don't tell me I don't wanna
8:43
know. Just bring me all your dirty
8:44
clothes so I can wash them, so you can look presentable for
8:48
Jehovah Shama when we go up on that man.
8:51
I'll need to clean. More than my dirty clothes,
8:54
Mama, God does not like. But Mama.
8:57
Boy, you better not be doing something dumb.
9:02
You are you gonna have to deal with Mama Shama?
9:08
What entire nation is wrong with you, Abner?
9:11
What did I do, Mama? You keep shooting off your mouth
9:15
about wanting to go back to Egypt.
9:17
We'd be better off in Egypt. You've been saying that for a
9:20
month now. Well, it's the truth.
9:23
Truth. You wouldn't know the truth if
9:25
it smacked you in the head. What's the truth, Mama, since
9:28
you know so much? God's word is the truth.
9:31
If God promised to take us to the promised land, then that's
9:35
good enough for me. But it ain't good enough for my
9:37
boy. Abner is it?
9:40
Oh, Mama. Don't you remember when we were
9:42
in Egypt? We were slaves, Abner.
9:44
OK, so you had a little food to put in that belly of yours, but
9:48
you worked like a dog from sun up till sundown.
9:51
And boy, did you moan and groan. Oh, God, get us out of here.
9:57
You used to pray every night. Now listen to you.
9:59
But Mama, we're out here in the middle of nowhere, with no roof
10:03
over our heads and nothing to eat or drink.
10:05
We could die out here. That's what.
10:08
You said when Pharaoh and his army came chasing after us,
10:11
we're gonna die. We can't go forward cuz the Red
10:15
Sea is in front of us and Pharaoh's army is behind us.
10:19
Then God split the Red Sea. What was that you said then,
10:22
Abner? I can't remember.
10:24
I said. I knew God wouldn't leave us out
10:26
here to die. That was the first intelligent
10:29
thing you said since we left Egypt.
10:31
In fact, that's the first intelligent thing you said your
10:34
entire life. Oh Mama, now you're
10:36
exaggerating. Am I?
10:39
Who was the one cried when we first left Egypt because we had
10:42
to up and leave with no time to pack anything?
10:44
Oh. Come on, we had to pack on a
10:47
moment's notice. What in the name of love were
10:49
you going to pack the hey, we used to make bricks.
10:52
We didn't own anything, Abner. We were slaves.
10:56
Well, you know how I hate to do anything last minute.
10:58
Last minute, my foot. You just hate doing anything,
11:02
Period. The Egyptians were giving us
11:04
their gold and silver, but you didn't want any because you said
11:07
it's too. Heavy to carry.
11:09
What is wrong with you? You must take after your father,
11:14
cuz you sure enough didn't get any of that from me.
11:16
Well, you took enough silver and gold for the two of us.
11:20
It would take a mule to carry everything you picked out.
11:23
I would have picked out a lot more if I could have gotten you
11:25
to carry anything. I had to carry it on myself.
11:30
Is your back bothering you well? What do you think?
11:33
I've been doing the work of a mule.
11:36
Come on, everyone's leaving. I'll help you carry the silver
11:40
and gold. Only if you promise not to moan
11:43
and groan about it. I promise, and I won't say
11:46
anything about going back to Egypt either.
11:49
Now that's my boy. Where are you, Moses?
12:00
You've been gone too long. The people are getting nervous.
12:04
They want me to make them a golden calf.
12:08
What do I do? I should tell them no.
12:15
Here's some more. Jewelry for the Golden.
12:17
Calf Where do you? Want it in the pot by the fire?
12:23
Abner, what does your mother think about all this?
12:26
You mean Moses being gone so long?
12:29
She's not worried about Moses at all?
12:32
She says God is talking to him and he's probably got a lot to
12:36
say about us and the way we're acting down here.
12:40
What does she mean the way we're acting?
12:43
Why don't you ask her yourself? There you are.
12:49
I've been looking all over the wilderness for you.
12:52
Where have you been? Just helping, Mr. Aaron.
12:56
What is wrong with you? Didn't I tell you not to get
13:01
involved in this calf making scheme?
13:04
Mama, I'm not a little boy anymore.
13:07
I'm a man. I can make my own.
13:10
The only man in this camp is up on that mountain talking to God.
13:16
Aaron, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
13:19
I don't know how you could be, Moses.
13:21
Brother, you must take after your father.
13:24
Moses has been up there a long time.
13:26
What if he doesn't come? Back you finished leading us to
13:29
the promised land. He left you in charge.
13:32
I can't. What if God isn't really God?
13:35
We'll be stuck out in this desert all by ourselves.
13:38
We'll die out here. Let me see if I got this right.
13:42
There's no God, so you're going to make a golden calf like the
13:46
Egyptians used to worship. Who, by the way, Or all but
13:49
vanish with no army to call their own because they drowned
13:52
in the Red Sea. And now this golden calf is the
13:56
one who brought us out of Egypt. I didn't see no golden calf
14:00
split the Red Sea. It sounds to me like you're
14:03
being lured into a big mess. I don't have time for this right
14:08
now. I have to finish making the
14:09
Golden Calf for the feast tomorrow.
14:14
God. Give him the power to overcome
14:18
temptation. Aaron, I would hate to be in
14:23
your sandals when Moses gets back, do.
14:28
You think Moses will come back? If I did, you think I'd be doing
14:32
this? One of God's commandments is not
14:35
to worship idols. Do you think Moses will come
14:38
back? I don't know, but Mama's never
14:40
been wrong before. Well, let's hope she's wrong
14:43
this time. Otherwise, we're in big trouble.
14:53
Hi, I'm EULA Brenner with Slave Cam.
14:55
Thanks for watching back home in Egypt.
14:58
Now, I bet you're wondering, where did our slaves go?
15:00
Well, currently they are in the base of Mount Sinai.
15:04
Moses has been up on the mountain for 40 days and 40
15:07
nights. He's been in a conversation with
15:09
their God about we don't know what, but the real story is what
15:14
has been happening at the base of the mountain with the
15:16
Israelite camp. Here comes Moses's brother,
15:19
Aaron. Let's see if we can get a few
15:20
words with him. Aaron.
15:23
You. Scared me.
15:24
I'm sorry. Weird.
15:25
Why? Do you keep following us around?
15:27
Well, because it's the hottest show in Egypt right now.
15:30
Where did our slaves go? There's even a lottery betting
15:34
to see how long you guys are going to last in the desert.
15:37
We're just informing the Egyptian people they have a
15:39
right to know. Well, if I were.
15:41
You I'd stay clear of Moses. He's a little, you know.
15:44
Upset and why is that? Well, because when he was at the
15:47
top of the mountain and he didn't come down, well, we.
15:50
Thought that he burned in the fire.
15:52
I did it. The people did anyway.
15:55
They wanted a God to lead them through the desert.
15:57
So what I did was I grabbed all the jewelry, threw it in the
16:01
fire, and then bail out came a golden calf.
16:06
He threw the gold into the fire and out came a golden calf.
16:10
Yeah, like. Brown.
16:12
That's not how that works, Period.
16:15
No, it happened. It didn't.
16:17
You're supposed to take jewelry and heat it until it, like,
16:22
whifies, and then somebody has to take that gold and mold it
16:27
into a shape like a calf. I believe that is a more
16:32
accurate account of what has happened here tonight, correct?
16:35
Yeah, no comment. That's all I have to say, but
16:39
no. We just wanted to know what
16:40
happened with the gold. And yeah, OK, it seems that
16:44
God's chosen people have abandoned their one true God and
16:49
began worshiping a golden calf. Maybe all of their time in
16:55
Egypt, where we worship idols daily, has influenced them in
16:58
their time of crisis. It is still unclear as to what
17:04
the condition of Moses is. As you know, being 40 days and
17:09
40 nights up on a mountain with no food or no water that we know
17:12
of can take its toll on a person's body.
17:15
Oh, you look. Excuse me.
17:16
Sorry, didn't interrupt. Have you seen Erin?
17:19
Well, he just Moses, can we just ask one question?
17:22
Fine. Is it true that the Israelites,
17:26
God's chosen people, have completely abandoned God and you
17:29
and began worshiping a golden calf?
17:31
That is not true. We worship and serve the one
17:35
true God, Jehovah M Kadesh, the Lord who sanctifies us.
17:39
He set us apart to do His will on the earth.
17:41
We are his chosen people. Right.
17:44
So you mean to tell us that there was number Golden Calf
17:48
made and worshiped here tonight? There was a golden calf, but I
17:52
have destroyed it, for we worship the one true God, and
17:56
him only do we serve. So I'm going to ask another
18:00
question, the question that everybody back at home wants to
18:03
know what exactly happened up on Mount Sinai?
18:07
Well, the Lord had given us His laws written on stone tablets
18:10
for us to follow so that the whole world can see that we have
18:13
been set apart for His purpose. What?
18:15
Kind of laws. Don't steal, don't kill.
18:19
Those sort of things. Worship God.
18:22
Don't worship idols. Like a golden calf.
18:25
So you mean to tell me that while you were up on Mount
18:27
Sinai, receiving these laws from your God, the people of Israel
18:31
were down at the bottom of Mount Sinai, breaking all your laws?
18:35
Which is why I threw the tablets down.
18:37
I was so angry at their actions. But we are still God's chosen
18:41
people, and He will lead us into the promised land like he said,
18:44
for he was a God that cannot lie.
18:47
So will you be going back to Egypt?
18:49
No, we will not return to Egypt. We will go to the promised land
18:52
that excuse me. Well, it seems to me that God's
18:58
chosen people are in desperate need of a savior.
19:01
Why any God would choose a stiff, necked group of people to
19:07
claim still amazes me. That's all we have for tonight.
19:12
Thank you for joining us on Slave Camp.
19:14
I'm EULA Brenner. We'll see you next.
19:22
Did you see those grapes? I'm telling you, the land is
19:25
every bit as wonderful as God said it would be.
19:28
God has given it to us. Tell them, Caleb.
19:31
It truly is a land flowing with milk and honey.
19:34
Well, not really milk and honey. It's a land flowing with health
19:39
and prosperity. Let us go up at once and possess
19:42
it. God is with us.
19:46
Wait. Joshua is right.
19:48
That land is wonderful, even more wonderful than I thought.
19:53
But there are giants living there.
19:56
We cannot defeat them. We can defeat them.
20:00
We have God on our side. He has given us authority over
20:03
the enemy. We look like grasshoppers next
20:06
to those giants. I would rather have my friends
20:10
and family go back to Egypt and live as slaves than they have to
20:14
fight those giants. Get real.
20:17
Listen to me. God delivered us from Egypt.
20:20
He brought us through the Red Sea.
20:23
He defeated Pharaoh and his army.
20:25
He has fed us mana and quail out here in the wilderness.
20:29
God did not send us to spy out the land to make us afraid.
20:33
He sent us to give us hope, to give us something to look
20:36
forward to. Now come and let us go.
20:39
Take the land. We all know what God has done
20:44
for us. We are all grateful.
20:47
But I think it is time we go back to Egypt.
20:51
We cannot possess this land, for the giants are too strong.
20:58
Do not be afraid. God would not have told us to go
21:01
in if we couldn't defeat them. We must not rebel against the
21:05
Lord. We can overcome our enemies now
21:08
come, let us go and take the land.
21:14
There were twelve of us that spied out the land.
21:17
Of the 12, these are the only two that believe we can defeat
21:21
the giants. The rest of us will agree that
21:24
it's impossible to fight them. If Moses will not take us back
21:29
to Egypt, then let us elect a new leader at once to take us
21:33
back. Why you?
21:36
It's no use, Joshua. Let him go.
21:39
If it weren't for Moses, you'd still be a slave making bricks
21:42
seven days a week. Come on, Caleb.
21:45
