Four hundred years in slavery, the Hebrew people await
deliverance. . . .
And while it is still dark, God is at work.
Jochebed’s entire life has been a faith journey as she seeks her
mother’s God. The daughter of a Hebrew slave and master basket
weaver, Jochebed knows the stories of her ancestors but wonders if
the Lord cares how they suffer under the hand of Pharaoh Ramses. .
.and if the promised deliverance will ever really
come.
Ramses, warned of Egypt’s destruction, vows to do whatever
is necessary to protect his two great loves, Egypt and Nefertari,
unaware that satisfying one will sacrifice the other.
Shiphrah, the half-Egyptian midwife tasked to kill Hebrew
male infants, yearns for a place to belong and remembers childhood
stories of a merciful God.
Doubts are a constant companion to Jochebed, but her foundation of
faith leads her to defy the most powerful man in the world in a
deadly race to save her son and, ultimately, God’s chosen
people. Two women, each following the dangerous path God has
set before them—this is their story.
