To help encourage Moses, God reveals three different wonders - wonders that Moses can use to convince the Pharaoh, among others, that he actually was sent by God (for example: transforming his staff into a living snake). After his initial doubts, he returns from the mountain and requests Jethro's permission to leave Midian - taking Zipporah and their sons with him. As word spreads of his actions, Moses runs away from Egypt - and King Seti " sought to kill him".
In the scripture, Moses kills and hides an Egyptian guard that was mercilessly beating a slave - only to find out that other Hebrews had witnessed the murder.
Nevertheless, the turning point, where he elects to spill Egyptian blood in order to protect a Hebrew, remains somewhat the same. Still, without question, at the point that Moses returns to Egypt following his banishment (more on that in a minute), he was never depicted as an armored warrior instead, Moses was a quiet (but firm) shepherd of the Hebrews - one who delivered his people from bondage with a staff (and God's "wonders"/plagues), not an ornate Egyptian sword.Īs for how Moses comes to be banished from Egypt, the scripture never pinpoints a specific moment when his true heritage is revealed to him, whereas the film inserts an entirely fabricated intervention - specifically a meeting with Hebrew slave, Nun (Ben Kingsley), who outright tells Moses the backstory.
