Wholly Moses
“The story of Herschel. He wanted to be Moses...but he didn't have the right connections.”
Harvey and Zoey, two tourists in Israel, discover an ancient scroll about Herschel, the man who was almost Moses. Herschel receives the command from God to free his people from slavery, but Moses keeps getting all the credit.
