The Ten Commandments 1956 1080p BluRay H264 AAC-RARBG Subtitles

00:01:57,618 --> 00:02:01,Ladies and gentlemen, young and old,

00:02:01,622 --> 00:02:04,this may seem an unusual procedure,

00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:08,speaking to you
before the picture begins,

00:02:08,337 --> 00:02:10,but we have an unusual subject:

00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:13,the story of the birth of freedom.

00:02:13,884 --> 00:02:15,The story of Moses.

00:02:15,385 --> 00:02:17,As many of you know,

00:02:17,763 --> 00:02:23,the Holy Bible omits
some 30 years of Moses' life,

00:02:23,226 --> 00:02:26,from the time he was
a three-month-old baby

00:02:26,647 --> 00:02:30,and was found in the bulrushes
by Bithiah,

00:02:30,192 --> 00:02:31,the daughter of Pharaoh,

00:02:31,943 --> 00:02:34,and adopted into the court of Egypt

00:02:34,571 --> 00:02:38,until he learned that he was Hebrew

00:02:38,450 --> 00:02:41,and killed the Egyptian.

00:02:41,244 --> 00:02:43,To fill in those missing years,

00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:46,we turned to ancient historians

00:02:46,625 --> 00:02:49,such as Philo and Josephus.

00:02:49,711 --> 00:02:54,Philo wrote at the time that
Jesus of Nazareth walked the Earth,

00:02:54,591 --> 00:02:58,and Josephus wrote some 50 years later

00:02:58,303 --> 00:03:02,and watched the destruction
of Jerusalem by the Romans.

00:03:03,058 --> 00:03:06,These historians had access
to documents

00:03:06,269 --> 00:03:09,long since destroyed,
or perhaps lost,

00:03:09,981 --> 00:03:12,like the Dead Sea Scrolls.

00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:15,The theme of this picture

00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:18,is whether men are
to be ruled by God's law,

00:03:19,116 --> 00:03:23,or whether they are to be ruled by
the whims of a dictator like Rameses.

00:03:23,995 --> 00:03:27,Are men the property of the state,

00:03:27,416 --> 00:03:30,or are they free souls under God?

00:03:30,419 --> 00:03:35,This same battle continues
throughout the world today.

00:03:35,924 --> 00:03:40,Our intention was not to create a story,

00:03:40,303 --> 00:03:45,but to be worthy
of the divinely inspired story

00:03:45,642 --> 00:03:48,created 3,000 years ago:

00:03:49,146 --> 00:03:51,the five books of Moses.

00:03:51,481 --> 00:03:55,The story takes three hours
and 39 minutes to unfold.

00:03:55,819 --> 00:03:58,There will be an intermission.

00:03:58,488 --> 00:04:00,Thank you for your attention.

00:08:22,752 --> 00:08:26,And God said, "Let there be light. "

00:08:28,299 --> 00:08:30,And there was light.

00:08:30,927 --> 00:08:35,And from this light,
God created life upon Earth.

00:08:36,641 --> 00:08:38,And man was given dominion

00:08:39,019 --> 00:08:41,over all things upon this Earth,

00:08:42,022 --> 00:08:47,and the power to choose
between good and evil,

00:08:47,277 --> 00:08:49,but each sought to do his own will

00:08:50,113 --> 00:08:53,because he knew not
the light of God's law.

00:08:53,783 --> 00:08:56,Man took dominion over man.

00:08:56,453 --> 00:09:00,The conquered
were made to serve the conqueror

00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:03,The weak were made to serve the strong.

00:09:04,127 --> 00:09:07,And freedom was gone from the world.

00:09:08,006 --> 00:09:11,So did the Egyptians
cause the children of Israel

00:09:11,718 --> 00:09:14,to serve with rigor;

00:09:14,262 --> 00:09:18,and their lives were made bitter
with hard bondage,

00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:23,and their cry came up unto God
and God heard them.

00:09:23,188 --> 00:09:25,And cast into Egypt,

00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:28,into the lowly hut
of Amram and Yochabel,

00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:31,the seed of a man

00:09:31,321 --> 00:09:34,upon whose mind and heart
would be written

00:09:34,657 --> 00:09:37,God's law and God's commandments.

00:09:37,827 --> 00:09:42,One man to stand alone
against an empire.

00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:44,Divine One,

00:09:45,376 --> 00:09:48,last night our astrologers
saw an evil star

00:09:48,797 --> 00:09:51,- enter into the house of Egypt.
- Meaning war?

00:09:52,008 --> 00:09:55,From the frontiers of Sinai and Libya
to the cataracts of the Nile.

00:09:55,845 --> 00:09:58,What nation would dare
draw the sword against us?

00:09:58,389 --> 00:10:00,The enemy to fear
is in the heart of Egypt.

00:10:00,892 --> 00:10:01,What?

00:10:02,018 --> 00:10:05,The Hebrew slaves
in the land of Goshen.

00:10:05,230 --> 00:10:08,I number my enemies by their swords,

00:10:09,025 --> 00:10:11,not by their chains, High Priest.

00:10:11,486 --> 00:10:14,Chains have been forged
into swords before now, Divine One.

00:10:15,115 --> 00:10:17,Among these slaves,
there is a prophecy of a deliverer

00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:21,who will lead them out of bondage.
The star proclaims his birth.

00:10:21,788 --> 00:10:24,Then let the Hebrews die.

00:10:24,374 --> 00:10:26,Slaves are wealth, Commander.

00:10:26,668 --> 00:10:29,The more slaves we have,
the more bricks we make.

00:10:29,546 --> 00:10:33,I would still see fewer bricks made
and fewer Hebrews in Goshen.

00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:36,It is our eastern gate.

00:10:37,011 --> 00:10:39,Since this deliverer
is among their newborn,

00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:42,only their newborn need die.

00:10:45,812 --> 00:10:50,Every newborn Hebrew man-child
shall die.

00:10:50,567 --> 00:10:54,So let it be written,
so let it be done.

00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:57,So speaks Rameses I.

00:11:04,706 --> 00:11:06,No!

00:11:07,584 --> 00:11:09,Oh, no!

00:11:10,712 --> 00:11:14,Please! Please! No!

00:11:48,166 --> 00:11:50,God of Abraham,

00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:53,take my child into thy hands,

00:11:53,630 --> 00:11:56,that he may live to thy service.

00:12:04,891 --> 00:12:08,But Mother,
we have not even given him a name.

00:12:08,394 --> 00:12:10,God will give him a name.

00:12:21,699 --> 00:12:24,Follow it, Miriam.

00:12:24,202 --> 00:12:26,Watch it from the reeds.

00:12:26,955 --> 00:12:30,- See where the Lord will lead him.
- Yes, Mother.

00:12:56,818 --> 00:12:59,- Why didn't you say no?
- She didn't think of it.

00:13:01,531 --> 00:13:03,Here! Throw!

00:13:04,617 --> 00:13:07,- You're getting fat.
- Too many sesame cakes!

00:13:08,955 --> 00:13:11,Catch a lotus and you catch a wish.

00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:16,What will you wish for,
Tuya, gold or a man?

00:13:16,254 --> 00:13:17,Gold, of course.

00:13:17,547 --> 00:13:21,- Then I could have any man!
- Gold will never fill an empty heart.

00:13:22,969 --> 00:13:24,Quiet, you chattering geese.

00:13:25,054 --> 00:13:27,Memnet, you're only happy
when you're miserable.

00:13:28,099 --> 00:13:33,You fools! Talk of empty hearts
before the Pharaoh's daughter.

00:13:33,730 --> 00:13:37,What is there in her heart,
but the memory of a dead husband?

00:13:37,567 --> 00:13:40,We meant no harm, Memnet.

00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:47,Look, there's something here!

00:13:47,869 --> 00:13:49,Be sure it's not a crocodile!

00:13:49,954 --> 00:13:53,Bithiah can charm tears
from a crocodile.

00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:15,What is it, Bithiah?
What did you End?

00:14:15,772 --> 00:14:17,Only a drifting basket.

00:14:21,361 --> 00:14:25,- Shall we come and help you get it?
- Memnet, send the girls away.

00:14:25,239 --> 00:14:27,I'd rather be alone now.

00:14:28,284 --> 00:14:31,Now see what you've done.
Back to the palace, all of you.

00:14:32,121 --> 00:14:36,- Go on. All of you. Musicians, too.
- We wouldn't hurt Bithiah.

00:14:36,542 --> 00:14:39,Bithiah's tired of you and so ** I.
Off you go.

00:14:39,629 --> 00:14:42,- You're tired of everything.
- Go on. Off you go.

00:14:44,425 --> 00:14:47,Go on. Hurry up!
You've hurt her enough.

00:14:57,980 --> 00:15:02,- What have you found?
- The answer to my prayers.

00:15:02,693 --> 00:15:05,You prayed for a basket?

00:15:05,238 --> 00:15:09,No. I prayed for a son.

00:15:10,201 --> 00:15:12,Your husband
is in the house of the dead.

00:15:12,829 --> 00:15:16,And he has asked the Nile god
to bring me this beautiful boy.

00:15:25,425 --> 00:15:28,Do you know the pattern
of this cloth?

00:15:29,178 --> 00:15:31,If my son is covered in it...

00:15:33,349 --> 00:15:35,...it is a royal robe.

00:15:35,351 --> 00:15:38,Royal? It is the Levite cloth
of a Hebrew slave.

00:15:39,021 --> 00:15:41,This child was put upon the water

00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,to save its life
from your father's edict.

00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:47,I ** the Pharaoh's daughter,
and this is my son.

00:15:48,030 --> 00:15:53,He shall be reared in my house
as the Prince of the Two Lands.

00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:58,My mother and...
