Synopsis

Eight plagues have come upon the land of Egypt and the nation is gripped with fear. The Egyptian nobles watch in dismay as their aging Pharaoh stubbornly refuses to listen to the demands of the Hebrew God. Young Prince Martiesen is adon of the most prosperous region in Lower Egypt, which includes the land of Goshen where the Hebrews live. He has been forced by Pharaoh to further increase the burden of the Hebrews yet Martiesen himself is in love with the beautiful Hebrew maiden, Elisheba, whom he is forbidden by Egyptian law to marry. In his own household, unbeknownst to Martiesen, his new scribe, Peshala, is plotting evil against him. As the nation despairs, the nobles turn to Martiesen for leadership, but before he can decide what to do, Elisheba is kidnapped by Peshala and terrifying darkness falls over the land.

Présentation de l'éditeur

And Moses called for all the elders of I srael, and said unto them, Draw out and take for yourselves lambs according to your families, and kill the passover sacrifice. And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out from the door of his house until the morning. And the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyp tians ;and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite.
