Moses and God

$10.00

Moses has a conversation with God at the burning bush and then he talks to the audience about his life

GOD

Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.

Moses reaches down and grabs the end of the staff and is shocked when it becomes a staff again in his hand.

GOD

This, is so that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers, has appeared to you. Put your hand inside your cloak.

Moses puts his hand in his cloak and when he pulls it back out he is shocked and scared again as his hand has turned white and leprous.

GOD

Now put it back into your cloak.

He does and his hand is restored. He is relieved and amazed.

GOD

If they do not believe you or pay attention to the first sign, they may believe the second. But if they do not believe these two signs or listen to you, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the river will become blood on the ground.

MOSES

Pardon me, I am your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to me. I am slow of speech and tongue. I am not good with words.

GOD

Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord?  Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.

MOSES

Pardon me, your servant, again Lord. But… Please send someone else.

GOD

(Starting to sound angry) What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do.

At this the fire in the bush goes out. Or perhaps the bush is removed altogether. Moses looks out at the audience.

MOSES

That day changed my life.  I mean, it’s not every day that God speaks to you with an audible voice from a burning bush. The task that he called me to was monumental, to say the least.  I was a humble man and I never saw myself as a leader.  Yet, I was very aware that my life had been unique and I wondered if there was a special purpose for me.   You see, I was born at the time of an evil ruler in the land of Egypt. He had ordered all male Hebrew babies to be thrown into the Nile.  My parents disobeyed the law by putting me in a basket and floating me down the Nile.  Pharaoh’s daughter found me and she knew that I was a Hebrew baby and wanted a Hebrew woman to help raise me.  Well my sister had followed me as I was going down the river and she spoke to Pharaoh’s daughter saying that she knew a woman and brought my own mother to be my nurse. I was blessed being raised in Egyptian royalty,…
