The Ten Commandments 十诫
The story relates the life of Moses, from the time he was discovered in the bullrushes as an infant by the pharoah's daughter, to his long, hard struggle to free the Hebrews from their slavery at the hands of the Egyptians. Moses starts out "in solid" as Pharoah's adopted son, but when he discovers his true Hebrew heritage, he attempts to make life easier for his people. Banished by his jealous half-brother Rameses, Moses returns fully bearded to Pharoah's court, warning that he's had a message from God and that the Egyptians had better free the Hebrews post-haste if they know what's good for them. Only after the Deadly Plagues have decimated Egypt does Rameses give in. As the Hebrews reach the Red Sea, they discover that Rameses has gone back on his word and plans to have them all killed. But Moses rescues his people with a little Divine legerdemain by parting the Seas. Later, Moses is again confronted by God on Mt. Sinai, who delivers unto him the Ten Commandments. Meanwhile, the Hebrews, led by the duplicitous Dathan, are forgetting their religion and behaving like libertines. "Where's your Moses now?" brays Dathan in the manner of a Lower East Side gangster. He soon finds out. DeMille's The Ten Commandments may not be the most subtle and sophisticated entertainment ever concocted, but it tells its story with a clarity and vitality that few Biblical scholars have ever been able to duplicate.
摩西出生在埃及法老下令杀尽希伯来男婴的“白色恐怖”时期，他的父母不敢收藏，便把他放在篮子里顺流而下，盼有人收养。法老的女儿发现摩西，收为自己的儿子。摩西长大后对埃及人奴役希伯来人越来越看不惯，一次他失手打死一个欺负希伯来人的埃及人。法老王知道此事后要惩罚摩西，于是失去母亲保护的他逃往米甸地居住，开始他四十年的牧羊生涯，并在米甸地结婚生子。其间耶和华将十诫授与摩西，并赐予摩西力量让其带领苦难的希伯来人从埃及人的奴役下走出来。在经过一番苦难之后希伯来人在摩西的带领下终于渡过红海，在旷野上重建新生活。
