Mosè in Egitto
In Egypt, Pharaoh initially agrees to release the Hebrews after Moses’s prayer ends the darkness, but reverses his decision. Pharaoh’s son Osiride loves the Hebrew Elcia and tries to prevent her departure. Though Pharaoh plans for Osiride to marry an Assyrian princess, Osiride refuses and orders Moses killed; he is struck by lightning. At the Red Sea, Moses parts the waters to lead the Hebrews across, and the pursuing Egyptians drown when the waters close.
