the thing about andor season 1 being a moses arc is that cassian andor literally is moses. once you mention that moses’s rise to leader serves as scaffolding to almost every major character moment for cassian well you just can’t unsee it

#cassian andor #even the changes i'm still hmm on #his backstory is so extremely moses coded! there's a foreign woman who takes him from his culture and people and language #he might live because of it but his perpetual cycle of fleeing and exile and exodus starts as a child #she gives him a new name and takes his past #as an adult he kills the guard(s) #he flees into the wilderness #he becomes a shepherd (even if its just undercover) #his people are living in the house of slavery #he becomes a prisoner #he uses water- small and massive unthinkable amounts of flowing water- to lead an entire prison revolt #he ends up in exile and diaspora again and again #and the season ends with a miniature exodus of his comunity from ferrix with bix and brasso and jezzy and wilmon and b2emo #but on a meta level like: this entire season is cassian at the burning bush #he's a man with unclean lips who neither thinks himself worthy of being the hand of deliverance #nor does he think exodus is possible #like even that very meta arc change from dyed in the wool born revolutionary to good man in constant exile who finally turns and faces the #burning bush #that is MOSES coded. i don't know how to feel about those changes but i DO love the idea that #it's cassians' imperfections and time as an ordinary man among the people that give him the radical empathy and experience precisely to #/become/ this leader I OF UNCLEAN LIPS etc #also well does he ever reside in the promised land

The Burning Bush

1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the back side of the desert and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

2 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

3 And Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.”

4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses.” And he said, “Here am I.”

5 And He said, “Draw not nigh hither. Put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.”

6 Moreover He said, “I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

7 And the Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

8 And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey, unto the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites, and the Amorites and the Perizzites, and the Hivites and the Jebusites.

9 Now therefore behold, the cry of the children of Israel hath come unto Me, and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”

11 And Moses said unto God, “Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?”

12 And He said, “Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.”

13 And Moses said unto God, “Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel and shall say unto them, ‘The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you,’ and they shall say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say unto them?”

14 And God said unto Moses, “I Am That I Am.” And He said, “Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, ‘I Am hath sent me unto you.’”

15 And God said moreover unto Moses, “Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob hath sent me unto you.’ This is My name for ever, and this is My memorial unto all generations. — Exodus 3:1-15 | 21st Century King James Version (KJV21) The Holy Bible; 21st Century King James Version Copyright © 1994 by Deuel Enterprises, Inc.

Moses and the Burning Bush Scene Movie VS Scripture Comparative Analysis (Part 1/2)

I will say right off the bat that I am not here to argue which one is better. As someone of the faith it’s obvious for me to say that the Scripture is better as God’s Word is inerrant however I do understand that the movie has a unique way of showing the character of God not in a perfect way but still in a respectable way. 

Some people may already have noticed these things to be said of the comparison or that some may not even agree with me. However, as somebody of the faith and somebody who is a very big fan of this movie, I do believe that firmly anybody of all backgrounds can truly appreciate this film for the respectable artistic and religious license that was taken into making this movie.

So, let’s get started!

I understand there are some cuts before Moses enters the cave but I want to start with the part when God speaks to Moses for the first time. As you watch the scene, everything that God says causes the wind to move. As He is the one who brings life in His breath of course, this was a nice consistency of His character and authority. Moses perceives God’s voice is mixed with the wind. More importantly, a whisper.

Most people of the faith describe God’s voice as a whisper, others call it a ‘little voice in their head,’ a conscience, a pit in your stomach, Jimney Cricket. Here, for POE (Prince of Egypt) Moses, God revealed Himself not only visually as the burning bush (which I will want to talk a little more about later) but as the wind. As it was Moses’ first encounter with God, the Lord was very gentle with him and talked to him lowly as a whisper. 

In the screenshot below, Moses replies back: “Here I am.” (So far, this conversation is faithful to the Scriptures). Then, I would like you to focus on how God’s voice changes. It’s still blending with the wind but not as a subtle whisper. It is now a low-talking voice. 

I believe that the reason that this happens is because POE Moses responds back. He acknowledges a presence, which makes him closer to the presence who is talking, although he is already physically. Responding back to your Creator is a sign of obedience, thus obedience creates closeness. Understandably, however, Moses does not know exactly who this voice is so he is naturally and rightfully scared. 

“Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” (Exodus 3:5 NKJV).

The movie understandably erases the first sentence but only because in the Bible, Moses' attention to the burning bush was something extraordinary that he couldn’t figure out, which had to do with the presence of the angel of the LORD in the bush. The movie doesn’t add this detail explicitly, but I have a hint that it might actually be true later. Moses, in the movie, was allowed to come close. He touched the fire with his staff, nothing happened. Then with his own hand, and nothing happened.

 So, why would the Lord in the Bible tell Moses to not come close? It was to show honor to the immediate presence of the LORD. As well as it was for him to take his shoes off. As some Asian countries recognize, once you enter someone’s home you take off your shoes. Well, now that Moses was in God’s ‘home’ he must also take off his shoes. Also, servants of that time would usually be barefoot. So, this was a sign of humility. Once again, a form of obedience. 

Either way, in the movie, God’s presence is still honored, but perhaps not completely. 

From here on, the conversation may have some of the same things said in the Bible, but in a different order with some things cut out or simplified. POE Moses asks God, “Who are You?” God responds with a slightly louder voice but still not a normal talking voice: “I AM THAT I AM.” (Hebrew: אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה, 'ehye 'ăšer 'ehye). This phrase is what could be the extended version of the name YHWH, Yahweh/Jehovah. The LORD’s personal name. As the Lord has no equal, He is who He is. That is why He answers this. In the Bible, God doesn’t reveal this until Exodus 3:14. Currently, the events happening are still in Exodus 3:5. Moses replies as most viewers would, “I don’t understand.” God’s voice now is at normal volume but still makes the ground ripple like water and wind blow gently at His every word. God replies with Exodus 3:6, Moreover, He said, “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”

So, here is my take on how much wonder and detail it came to the presence of God in this film. Even though the burning bush was of fire that doesn’t burn or exert heat of any kind, the light refracted off of it was not what a fire would do. The light refractions off the walls around the cave were like that of water. 

Then, it came to me. God’s voice in the wind, the light of a fire, the refraction of water, and the holiness of the ground. Earth, wind, fire, and air. Of course, God is not limited to just the 4 elements, but He did make them and much more. I just thought it was a really beautiful thing to show how God created the elements that we know and He makes them obey Him to His will. 

Let’s continue. In the Bible, Moses hides his face in fear. While in the movie, he immediately removes his shoes after a momentary state of shock and awe. Personally, I find the reaction to be hilarious because if I was told God was right in front of me I would have that same face too. However, as you take into account what Moses’ relationship with the Lord could have been, presumably he has been taught the ways of the Lord by his father-in-law Jethro, the high priest of Midian. He was content and living a peaceful life in the desert with his newfound faith and new life. He was taught the glory and honor that God has and demands. He knows of the great things that the Lord has done for His people, the holy works of the Lord. The stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel. He knew of Joseph who brought Israel to Egypt in the first place and why. Now, he was literally talking with the One who did it all.

POE Moses asks, “What do You want with me?” I would personally find this face to be of fear and uncertainty. Possibly expecting to be yelled at or scolded. Perhaps he is thinking of his past as an Egyptian prince and what he has done. 

What really intrigued me though was that as soon as God mentions Egypt the light turns from a white-bluish tone to a more yellow-orange. Why would God do this exactly? Nowhere in the Bible was there any sort of ‘color-change’ like a mood rock. 😂 However, it was intended to set the tone of the conversation. 

And the Lord said: “I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. (Exodus 3:7 NKVJ)

For us the viewer and especially for Moses, it brings us back to Egypt even though we are not physically there. Even during the opening scene, we know of those color schemes. It was a nice visual touch. 

I would also like to argue that the other voices from Moses’ past may not be what God is making him hear but what Moses himself is hearing in his own head. God may be speaking audibly and the other memories are thoughts or recalling of moments. Perhaps, both are audible or both are thoughts in his head. Either way, it works. 

How I felt about it as a little young’n was that this was all audible and God was replaying other memories in his life relating to the conversation. From Moses’ reaction to the sound of a whip, one could argue that he was reminded of how God’s people were treated and the day he fled from Egypt, thus from his own mind. To cater to us the viewer, we have to hear everything that may be influencing a character's movements. So perhaps the memory in Moses’ mind was echoed audibly. 

However, later in the conversation, God reveals to him something of the future: “Let my people go!” God can also tell us what the future holds. Prophetic messages. Some are audible to others, some are not. I will say that I love how this can be interpreted freely and left to interpretation. There are many ways that God speaks to us so I truly respect this decision. 

Another visual touch was how the animators made the burning bush almost resemble human movement despite it being a supernatural presence. 

When God speaks of “a land flowing with milk and honey,” you could almost hear His voice say it and show the significance of abundance, like arms physically stretching out.
