1:02:07
Put back your things.
1:02:09
You are not leaving.
1:02:12
Moses...
1:02:14
has she done
more for you than I?
1:02:18
Will the life she gave you
1:02:20
be more useful in
the black pits of slavery?
1:02:25
Cannot justice and truth
be served better
1:02:30
upon a throne,
1:02:32
where all men may benefit
from your goodness...
1:02:37
and strength?
1:02:42
I do not know what power
shapes my way,
1:02:48
but my feet
are set upon a road
1:02:51
that I must follow.
1:02:57
Forgive me, Bithiah.
1:03:01
God of our fathers,
1:03:03
who has appointed an end
to the bondage of Israel,
1:03:07
blessed am I among
all mothers in the land,
1:03:13
for my eyes have beheld
Thy deliverer.
1:03:24
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox
1:03:27
that treadeth out the corn,
1:03:29
making straw
for the bricks of Egypt,
1:03:33
nor spare the arms
1:03:34
that endlessly winnow
the grain in the wind
1:03:38
to separate the wheat
from the chaff,
1:03:41
wheat borne stolidly
1:03:43
on the backs
of countless slaves
1:03:45
from the heavy-laden
Nile boats
1:03:48
to the teeming shore.
1:03:51
Endlessly they plod
1:03:52
beneath
the sheaves of wheat
1:03:54
and endlessly
return for more.
1:03:56
A golden harvest
to the threshers,
