Bithiah names the baby <a href="/wiki/Moses" title="Moses">Moses</a>. Prince Moses grows up to become a successful general, winning a war with <a href="/wiki/Ethiopia" title="Ethiopia">Ethiopia</a> and establishing an alliance. Moses falls in love with the princess <a href="/wiki/Nefertari" title="Nefertari">Nefretiri</a>. But, she is betrothed to whomever Seti chooses to become the next Pharaoh. While working on the building of a city for Pharaoh <a href="/wiki/Seti_I" title="Seti I">Seti I</a>'s jubilee, Moses meets the stonecutter <a href="/wiki/Joshua" title="Joshua">Joshua</a>, who tells him of the Hebrew God. Moses saves an elderly woman from being crushed, not knowing that she is his biological mother, Yochabel, and he reprimands the taskmaster and overseer Baka. Moses reforms the treatment of <a href="/wiki/Slaves" class="mw-redirect" title="Slaves">slaves</a> on the project, but Prince <a href="/wiki/Ramesses_II" title="Ramesses II">Rameses</a>, Moses's adoptive brother and Seti's son, charges him with planning an insurrection. Moses says he is making his workers more productive, making Rameses wonder if Moses is the man the Hebrews are calling the Deliverer. Nefretiri learns from Memnet that Moses is the son of Hebrew slaves. She kills Memnet, but reveals the story to Moses after he finds the piece of <a href="/wiki/Levite" title="Levite">Levite</a> cloth he was wrapped in as a baby, which Memnet had kept. Moses follows Bithiah to Yochabel's house, where he meets his biological mother, brother Aaron, and sister Miriam. Moses learns more about the slaves by working with them. Nefretiri urges him to return to the palace, so that he may help his people when he becomes pharaoh, to which he agrees after he completes a final task. Moses saves Joshua from death by killing Baka, telling Joshua that he, too, is Hebrew. The confession is witnessed by the Hebrew overseer <a href="/wiki/Dathan" title="Dathan">Dathan</a>, who then reports to Prince Rameses. After being arrested, Moses explains that he is not the Deliverer, but would free the slaves if he could. <a href="/wiki/Seti_I" title="Seti I">Seti I</a> declares Prince Rameses his sole heir, and Rameses banishes Moses to the desert. At this time, Moses learns of the death of his mother. Moses makes his way across the desert to a well in <a href="/wiki/Midian" title="Midian">Midian</a>. After defending seven sisters from <a href="/wiki/Amalekites" class="mw-redirect" title="Amalekites">Amalekites</a>, Moses is housed with the girls' father <a href="/wiki/Jethro_(Bible)" class="mw-redirect" title="Jethro (Bible)">Jethro</a>, a Bedouin sheik, who worships the God of Abraham. Moses marries Jethro's eldest daughter <a href="/wiki/Zipporah" title="Zipporah">Zipporah</a> (called Sephora in the film). Later, he finds Joshua, who has escaped from the hard labor imposed on the Hebrews in Egypt. While herding, Moses sees the <a href="/wiki/Burning_bush" title="Burning bush">burning bush</a> on the summit of <a href="/wiki/Mount_Sinai" title="Mount Sinai">Mount Sinai</a> and hears the voice of God. At God's command, Moses returns to Egypt to free the Hebrews. Moses comes before Rameses, now Pharaoh <a href="/wiki/Rameses_II" class="mw-redirect" title="Rameses II">Rameses II</a>, to win the slaves' freedom, turning his staff into a <a href="/wiki/Cobra" title="Cobra">cobra</a>. <a href="/wiki/Jannes_and_Jambres" title="Jannes and Jambres">Jannes</a> performs the same trick with his staves, but Moses's snake swallows his. Rameses prohibits straw from being provided to the Hebrews to make their bricks. Nefretiri rescues Moses from being stoned to death by the Hebrews wherein he reveals that he is married. Egypt is visited by <a href="/wiki/Plagues_of_Egypt" title="Plagues of Egypt">plagues</a>. Moses turns the river Nile to blood at a festival of <a href="/wiki/Khnum" title="Khnum">Khnum</a>, and brings burning hail down upon Pharaoh's palace. Moses warns him that the next plague to fall upon Egypt will be summoned by Pharaoh himself. Enraged at the plagues, Rameses orders that all first-born sons of Hebrews will die, but a cloud of death instead kills all the first-born sons of Egypt, including the child of Rameses and Nefretiri. Despairing at the loss of his heir, Pharaoh exiles the Hebrews, who begin <a href="/wiki/The_Exodus" title="The Exodus">the Exodus</a> from Egypt. After being taunted by Nefretiri, Rameses takes his chariots and pursues the Hebrews to the <a href="/wiki/Red_Sea" title="Red Sea">Red Sea</a>. Moses uses God's help to stop the Egyptians with a <a href="/wiki/Pillar_of_Fire_(theophany)" class="mw-redirect" title="Pillar of Fire (theophany)">pillar of fire</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Crossing_the_Red_Sea" title="Crossing the Red Sea">parts the Red Sea</a>. After the Hebrews make it to safety, Moses releases the walls of water, drowning the Egyptian army. A devastated Rameses returns empty-handed to Nefretiri, stating that he now acknowledges Moses's god as God. Moses again ascends the mountain with Joshua. He sees the <a href="/wiki/Ten_Commandments" title="Ten Commandments">Ten Commandments</a> created by God in <a href="/wiki/Tablets_of_Stone" title="Tablets of Stone">two stone tablets</a>. Meanwhile, an impatient Dathan tells the people that Moses is dead and urges a reluctant Aaron to construct a <a href="/wiki/Golden_calf" title="Golden calf">golden calf</a> idol. A wild <a href="/wiki/Saturnalia" title="Saturnalia">saturnalia</a> occurs and a decadent <a href="/wiki/Orgy" title="Orgy">orgy</a> is held by most of the Hebrews. After God informs him of the Hebrews' fall into debauchery, Moses descends from the mountain with Joshua. Enraged at the sight of decadence, he deems the Hebrews unworthy and smashes the tablets at the golden calf. The calf explodes, killing Dathan and the wicked revelers. The remaining Hebrews are forced to wander in the wilderness for forty years. An elderly Moses later leads the Hebrews towards <a href="/wiki/Canaan" title="Canaan">Canaan</a>. However, he cannot enter the Promised Land because of a previous disobedience to the Lord (angering God at the Water of Strife).

Sinai stone with Cecil B. DeMille.

The man who designed Moses' distinctive rust-white-and-black-striped robe used those colors because they looked impressive, and only later discovered that these are the actual colors of the Tribe of Levi. <a href="/wiki/Arnold_Friberg" title="Arnold Friberg">Arnold Friberg</a> would later state that he was the one who designed Moses' costume. As a gift, after the production, DeMille gave Moses' robe to Friberg, who had it in his possession until his death in 2010. Moses' robe as worn by Charlton Heston was hand-woven by Dorothea Hulse, one of the world's finest weavers. She also created costumes for <a href="/wiki/The_Robe_(film)" title="The Robe (film)">The Robe</a>, as well as textiles and costume fabrics for <a href="/wiki/Samson_and_Delilah_(1949_film)" title="Samson and Delilah (1949 film)">Samson and Delilah</a>, <a href="/wiki/David_and_Bathsheba_(film)" title="David and Bathsheba (film)">David and Bathsheba</a>, and others. Jesse Lasky Jr., a co-writer on The Ten Commandments, described how DeMille would customarily spread out prints of paintings by <a href="/wiki/Lawrence_Alma-Tadema" title="Lawrence Alma-Tadema">Lawrence Alma-Tadema</a> to inform his set designers on the look he wanted to achieve. Arnold Friberg, in addition to designing sets and costumes, also contributed the manner in which Moses ordained <a href="/wiki/Joshua" title="Joshua">Joshua</a> to his mission at the end of the film: by the laying on of hands, placing his hands on Joshua's head. Friberg, a member of <a href="/wiki/The_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints" title="The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints">the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints</a>, demonstrated the LDS manner of performing such ordinations, and DeMille liked it. The Pharaoh is usually shown wearing the <a href="/wiki/Pschent" title="Pschent">red-and-white crown</a> of <a href="/wiki/Upper_and_Lower_Egypt" title="Upper and Lower Egypt">Upper and Lower Egypt</a> or the <a href="/wiki/Nemes" title="Nemes">nemes</a> royal headdress. For his pursuit of the Israelites, he wears the blue <a href="/wiki/Khepresh" title="Khepresh">Khepresh</a> helmet-crown, which the pharaohs wore for battle. Sets, costumes and props from the film <a href="/wiki/The_Egyptian_(film)" title="The Egyptian (film)">The Egyptian</a> were bought and re-used for The Ten Commandments—including the red-and-white double crown. As the events in The Egyptian take place 70 years before the reign of Rameses II, an unintentional sense of continuity was created.

I've seen The Ten Commandments maybe forty or fifty times. Forget the story - you've got to - and concentrate on the special effects, and the texture, and the color. For example: The figure of God, killing the first-born child, is a green smoke; then on the terrace, while they're talking, a green dry ice just touches the heel of George Reeves or somebody, and he dies. Then there's the reel Red Sea, and the lamb's blood of the Passover.

This requires the network to overrun into the 11:00 p.m./10:00 p.m. timeslot that belongs to the local affiliates, thus delaying their late <a href="/wiki/Local_news" title="Local news">local news</a> and any other programming they may air in the overnight hours.

In 2010, the film was broadcast in <a href="/wiki/High-definition_television" title="High-definition television">high definition</a> for the first time, which allowed the television audience to see it in its original 1.66:1 VistaVision aspect ratio.
