Each of the first born children in Hebrew families were ordered to be killed. Newly born Moses was supposed to be killed but his mother had other plans. She knew that he would be killed if she kept him so she put him in a basket and let him flow down the river.
The king's daughter discovered Moses and the royal family decided to keep Moses and adopt him into the family.
Moses grew up with his brother Rameses, and many years later he was still a part of the royal family, in fact he was Prince of Egypt. When the king, Moses" and Rameses" father, Pharaoh Seti, named Rameses the new Prince Regent, Moses called for the palace's high priests to deliver a gift to his brother.
The gift turned out to be Zipporah, a fiery woman who showed no respect for the royal family. As a result, Rameses returned the gift to Moses. When Zipporah escaped from the palace, Moses followed her into Hebrew territory where he discovered his biological siblings, Miriam and Aaron.
Distressed by finding out his true identity, and the fact that his father had past involvement in killing first born Hebrew babies, Moses began to open his eyes to the fact that his whole life had been a lie. Moses accidentally killed a guard by trying to protect a poor slave, and then ran from the palace swearing he"d never return.
After living through a disastrous sandstorm, Moses arrived in a small town and settlement where he once again met Zipporah and also her father Jethro, who took him into their home.
After a while, Moses and Zipporah fell in love and exchanged vows. Zipporah fell pregnant and had a baby boy. Everything was fine until one night when Moses received a sign from God, telling him that he was chosen to return to Egypt and free the Hebrew slaves. At first Moses denied the signs until God gave him courage, so he set off with his wife, Zipporah to the palace.
Moses" encounter with Rameses, newly crowned Pharaoh, did not go too well.
