Moses requests the Hebrews' release and transforms his staff into a snake to demonstrate God's power. God bestows Moses's shepherding staff with his power and promises that he will tell Moses what to say. Arriving in Egypt, Moses is happily greeted by Rameses, who is now Pharaoh with a wife and son.

One day, while chasing a stray lamb, Moses discovers a burning bush, through which God tells him to return to Egypt and guide the Hebrews to freedom. Over time, Moses becomes a shepherd, falls in love with Tzipporah, and marries her. Moses is welcomed by Jethro, Tzipporah's father and the high priest of Midian. Horrified and ashamed, Moses flees into the desert in exile, despite Rameses's pleas that he stay. Arriving at an oasis, Moses defends three young girls from brigands, only to find out their older sister is Tzipporah.

The next day, Moses tries to stop an Egyptian slave driver from whipping an elderly Hebrew slave, accidentally pushing the guard to his death. He flees in denial, but learns the truth of Seti's genocide from a nightmare, then from Seti himself, who disturbs Moses by claiming the Hebrews were "only slaves". Miriam then sings their mother's lullaby, triggering Moses's memory. Later that night, Moses follows Tzipporah as she escapes from the palace, and runs into the now-adult Miriam and Aaron, whom he does not recognize. Rameses gives Tzipporah to Moses and appoints him Royal Chief Architect. As a tribute, high priests Hotep and Huy offer Rameses a beautiful young Midianite woman, Tzipporah. At Moses's suggestion to give Rameses the opportunity to prove his responsibility, Seti names Rameses Prince Regent and gives him authority over Egypt's temples.

Before leaving, Miriam prays that Moses will come back to them and set their people free. Years later, Moses and his adoptive brother Rameses, heir to the throne of Egypt, are scolded by Seti for accidentally destroying a temple during a chariot race. Miriam follows the basket as it sails to the Pharaoh's palace and witnesses her baby brother safely adopted by Seti's wife, Queen Tuya, who names him Moses. Fearing for her newborn son's safety, Yocheved and her other two children, Miriam and Aaron, rush to the Nile River, where she places the infant in a basket on the water, after bidding him farewell with a final lullaby. Pharaoh Seti, fearing that the growing numbers of Hebrew slaves could lead to rebellion, orders a mass infanticide of all newborn Hebrew boys. In Ancient Egypt, the enslaved Hebrew people pray to God for deliverance. Lets continue our DreamWorks marathon with the story of a man who was raised by royalty only to become a prophet who would lead his people to a new and better life.
