The Lord prepares Moses for the difficulties that lie ahead, and sends his brother, Aaaron, to meet him and be his interpreter at the court of the Pharaoh. The two brothers meet with the elders of the people of Israel and show them the signs of the Lord's mandate. After overcoming the misgivings of a few elders, they are eventually welcomed by people to whom they lend new hope. At that instant, everyone realizes that: the Lord has visited the people of Israel and seen their plight. Moses and Aaron go to the Pharaoh and ask him to allow the people of Israel to leave Egypt. The Pharaoh's refusal is unforgiving and irrevocable. Moses orders his brother to extend his staff over the River Nile, and the river turns to blood. The Pharaoh continues to ignore the requests of Israel’s sons, and the Lord gives him no respite. After seven days, Egypt is struck by an infestation of frogs. As the Pharaoh still refuses to yield, the frogs are followed by gnats and flies, but to no avail. The Lord continues to humiliate the Pharaoh, striking Egypt with plague of the cattle, as well as the plagues of boils, hail, locusts and darkness. The Pharaoh's councilors implore that he give in. Finally, the Pharaoh agrees to let the people of Israel go, but demands one impossible condition- that they leave behind all their livestock, their only means of support. Inevitably, the Lord will strike Egypt with one last, terrifying plague.

"In the beginning"... with these words the Bible begins the story of the great mystery of the origins of time, existence and the h­istory of the Universe. It also contains the proclamation of the Word of God, invisible and omnipotent, creator of heaven and earth, who turns once more to his people with the promise of the salvation which man has awaited since the moment of his creation and of his first sin...This is the subject of the "most widely-read book in the world" from which, in thirty-nine episodes, we evoke characters and events so that young people of the new generations can appreciate the richness of this great treasure.
