Before the commandments and the wilderness… there was a promise.

The Moses Chronicles: Prelude opens the door to a world poised on the edge of destiny. As the patriarch Jacob draws his final breath, his sons gather in Egypt—carrying secrets, guilt, and fragile hopes for the future. In this deeply human retelling of Genesis 49 and 50, the legacy of Joseph and the rift among his brothers set the stage for the Exodus long before Moses is born.

This is the story of what came before:

Joseph, mourning his father while defending the family that once betrayed him
Asenath, navigating her dual role as Egyptian noble and Hebrew matriarch
Dinah, finally stepping into healing and unexpected redemption
Ephraim and Manasseh, caught between privilege and prophecy

Through palace whispers, tribal tension, secret plots, and unexpected acts of grace, The Moses Chronicles: Prelude traces the emotional and political fault lines that shape the world Moses will inherit.

Written with reverence and resonance, this is the story before the staff struck the Nile. The story before the sea parted.

This is the story before the basket on the Nile.

The quiet before slavery.
