Tony Leader: Aaron, Rameses

Quotes 

• Ramses : I was too merciful Merneptah. I allowed this Hebrew to betray my trust. Beware of such weaknesses when you rule.

  Merneptah : A Pharaoh must be just.

  Ramses : To Egyptians. For Hebrews the penalty for disobedience, is death. I will make the Nile red with their blood!

• Merneptah : A petition from the Hebrew Slaves?

  Aaron : From the God of the Hebrews.

  Merneptah : Original, though less than tactful.

  Aaron : Our God says 'Let my people go into the deser to make a sacrifice and a feast for me.'

  Merneptah : Can't he do it here just as easily as in the desert?

• Moses : My fear, believe me, is greater than yours. It is not pride that stands before you, it is not self seeking; I would much sooner have stayed in the safe wilderness. It is obedience. I do only what I must.

  Aaron : Now we must decide. Shall we listen to Moses? Shall we be obedient?

  Hebrew Elder : I'm not following a man who's half Egyptian.

  Hebrew Worker : You can't deny the voice of the Lord God.

  Hebrew Elder : Or the signs.

  Hebrew Elder : If it was the voice of the Lord God. And what if Moses fails?

  Hebrew Worker : Listen; for years we wait, we pray for this moment, now it comes and we argue. Let him at least try!
