👑 《Between Two Worlds: Moses in Pharaoh’s Palace》

— A Literary Devotional Narrative in English

He wore linen robes,
ate from golden plates,
and was educated by the wisest of Egypt.

He was called Prince.
Adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter.
Raised in marble halls with slaves to serve him.

But when Moses looked in the mirror,
he saw a Hebrew face.

He heard the chants of Egyptian priests,
but his heart remembered
the lullabies his mother hummed
in secret, long ago.

He walked like a noble,
but every step felt borrowed.
A foreigner in his own skin.

Outside the palace walls,
his people suffered.

He heard the crack of the whip.
He saw the burdened backs.
He noticed the averted eyes,
and the blood in the sand.

And one day,
he could no longer stay silent.

"Why is no one helping them?"
"Why am I in here, while they suffer out there?"
"Who am I, really?"

Then came the breaking point.

He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew slave.
His blood boiled.
His soul split.

"This is wrong."
"I must do something."

In a moment of rage and justice,
he struck the Egyptian.
The man fell—lifeless.

Moses buried him in the sand.
Not just a body,
but a version of himself—
the prince who thought he could fix it all.

The next day,
he tried to mediate between two Hebrews.
But they turned to him and said:

“Who made you ruler and judge over us?
Will you kill us too?”

The words pierced deeper than any spear.

“They know.
Pharaoh will know.
I am no prince.
I am nothing.”

And Moses fled.

From the throne to the desert.
From gold to gravel.
From everything…
to exile.

But it was not the end.
It was the beginning of a calling.

God was not done with him.
He was about to speak—
through a bush that burns
and a heart that breaks.
