The Ten Commandments Quotes

Moses: Will you swear in the name of your god that you are not my mother?
Yochabel: We do not even know His name.
Moses: Then look into my eyes and tell me you are not my mother.
Yochabel: Oh, Moses, I cannot!

Sethi: With so many slaves, you could build an army.
Moses: But I have built a city. These lions of pharaoh will guard its gates, and it shall be the city of Sethi's glory.
Sethi: Are the slaves loyal to Sethi's glory or to you, Moses?
Moses: The slaves worship their god. And I serve only you.

Nefretiri: Take care, old frog, you croak too much against Moses.

Moses: Love cannot drown truth, Nefretiri. You do believe it, or you would not have killed Memnet.
Nefretiri: I love you. That's the only truth I know.
Moses: Did this child of the Nile have a mother?
Nefretiri: Memnet called her Yochabel.
Moses: I will ask Bithiah.

Moses: Memnet spoke a Hebrew woman named Yochabel. Did you ever know her?
Bithiah: No.
Moses: Yours was the face I saw above my cradle. The only mother I've ever known. Wherever I am led and whatever I must do, I will always love you.

Yochabel: God of our fathers, who has appointed an end to the bondage of Israel, blessed am I among all mothers in the land.

Joshua: Praise God, I have found you.
Moses: Joshua? I thought you dead.
Joshua: In the copper mines of Sinai, the living are dead.
Moses: Sephora, bring water. How did you find me?
Joshua: A merchant buying copper saw you in the tent of Jethro.
Moses: Here you too will find peace, Joshua.
Joshua: Peace? How can you find peace or want it, when Ramses builds cities mortared with the blood of our people?

Moses: Let my people go.

Joshua: Four hundred years we have waited.
Moses: Pharaoh's soldiers will not wait so long.
Joshua: The Almighty has heard our outcry. You are the Chosen One!
Moses: I know nothing of your god.
Joshua: He knows you, Moses. He has brought you to us, and you cannot turn your back upon Him. You will deliver us!

Nefretiri: Do not exhaust yourself, Great One.
Sethi: [on his deathbed] You are the only thing I regret leaving. You have been my joy.
Nefretiri: And you my only love.
Sethi: Now you're cheating. There was another. I know. I loved him, too. With my last breath, I'll break my own law and speak the name of... Moses. Moses.
