History Series / MosesTheLawgiver

** Moses second son Eliezer.

** Yokebed gets called out for "selling" her infant son to an Egyptian (rather than allow it drowned). The Keneally novelization has Kid Aaron suffer this, with said rebukers prohibiting their children to play with him.

** The novelization refers to Merneptah as being ten at the time of Bithiah's passing. He is also referred to as Ramesses' son, when first introduced at least. Historically, Ramesses would have been around forty when Merneptah was ten, making the portrayal of Ramesses having an adult grandson in Moses more than a little odd to those familiar with history.

** The historical Merneptah was in his Sixties when he ascended the throne. The Series de-ages him to a young man.

''Moses The Lawgiver'' is a TV MiniSeries made in 1974. Produced by Vincenzo Labella, Directed by Gianfranco De Bosio and Co-Written by Creator/AnthonyBurgess, the Series tells the story of Moses (played by Creator/BurtLancaster) from his birth during the Israelites' enslavement under Egypt to his death when the emancipated Israelites return to the Promised Land. Many of the film's crew (Like Labella and Burgess) would later go on to create ''Series/JesusOfNazareth''.

** The Series departed from the EpicFilm trappings of earlier Biblical Epics, like Creator/CecilBDeMille's two versions of ''TheTenCommandments''. The wardrobe of the Israelites, being in the status of slaves, is accurately ragged and dirty, lacking in the color of those earlier versions.

* CoversAlwaysLie: Several posters made for the CompilationMovie play it up as some Big Budget Spectacular instead of the Small Budget/Low Key portrait it really is. One poster has Moses resemble the Charlton Heston incarnation from ''TheTenCommandments (1956)''

* CallBack: Several nods from ‘’TheTenCommandments (1956):’’

** The miniseries portrays Ramesses and Merneptah as grandfather and grandson. Historically, they were father and son.

** Moses’ father Amrim, a usually AdaptedOut figure, appears here.

** Moses’ genocidal actions toward the Midianites.

** Aaron’s intention to have the Golden Calf be treated as a symbol of Israel instead of an idol of worship. True, that ends in failure, but it makes him less of an ExtremeDoormat.

* BandageBabe: Downplayed. Bithia’s corpse is undergoing the Egyptian funeral rites.

** The novelization refers to Merneptah as being ten at the time of Bithiah's passing. He is also referred to as Ramesses' son. Historically, Ramesses would have been around forty when Merneptah was ten, making the portrayal of Ramesses having an adult grandson in Moses more than a little odd to those familiar with history.
