First High Priest:
Divine one, last night, our astrologers saw an evil star enter into the House of Egypt.
Rameses I:
Meaning war?
Commander of the Hosts:
From the frontiers of Sinai and Libya to the cataracts of the Nile, what nation would dare draw the sword against us?
First High Priest:
The enemy to fear is in the heart of Egypt.
Rameses I:
What?
First High Priest:
The Hebrew slaves in the land of Goshen.
Rameses I:
I number my enemies by their swords, not by their chains, High Priest.
First High Priest:
Chains have been forged into swords before now, Divine One. Among these slaves, there is a prophecy of a deliverer who will lead them out of bondage. A star proclaims his birth.
Commander of the Hosts:
Then let the Hebrews die!
Rameses I:
Slaves are wealth, Commander. The more slaves we have, the more bricks we make.
Commander of the Hosts:
I would still see fewer bricks made and fewer Hebrews in Goshen. It is our eastern gate.
First High Priest:
Since this deliverer is among their newborn, only their newborn need die.
Rameses I:
Every newborn Hebrew man-child shall die. So let it be written. So let it be done.
First High Priest:
[clanks staff]
So speaks Rameses I.
