Overview

This will be Moses's last journey from the mountain's high summer pasture. Moses is eighty years old, and the fugitive shepherd knows his time is ending. For forty years, he has lived with his wife, Zipporah, and his two sons, sharing the life of Jethro's family in the grasslands of Midian. He has been silent about the man he was before he arrived at Jethro's well and saved his wife and her sisters from the bandit slavers. His sons, Gershom and Eliezer, know only the father who tends flocks and speaks nothing of the past. He is an uncommonly gifted man who changes everyone's life for the better but remains an enigma to all who know him. No one knows the Prince of Egypt who commanded armies, who stood in Pharaoh's court, who bore a name that once made his enemies tremble. Tonight, before they descend the mountain for the last time, Moses will break his silence and open his heart to his sons. Using the ancient practice of zikaron-remembrance that transcends memory and makes the past live again-he will take his sons into those hidden forty years. He will show them the palace and the battlefield, the friendships and betrayals, the prophecies and the choices that drove him into exile. He will open his heart and reveal everything. But this is more than a father's final confession to his beloved sons. For forty years, Moses has heard nothing from the Most High, the God of his fathers. Tonight, he repents of his failures and asks the Lord to give him strength to share what he has kept buried. After a night of revelation, dawn breaks, and Moses and his two sons begin their descent down the mountain. As they journey past Horeb, the Mountain of God, the Most High's silence will finally end, and Moses will discover that his life's true mission, what he was born for, is only beginning. The hidden past becomes the present. The fugitive becomes the deliverer.
