** Even before he became the deliverer of the Hebrews, Moses is shown to be kinder and more reasonable to them than the other Egyptians are to them. First off, he stops an Egyptian from whipping Lilia and hears out her reasons for coming to him, and then before he rescues Yochabel, reprimands the other Egyptians for leaving her to be buried alive. Also after he hears of Joshua striking an overseer, which is punishable by death, he also hears out his reasons for doing so (saving Yochabel whom Joshua hardly knows), and impressed by his courage, releases him of all charges, earning Joshua's respect and loyalty. And then after hearing from each side, Egyptian (if the slaves are not driven they will not work) and Hebrew (if their work lags, it's because they are not fed) alike, Moses decides to reform the treatment of the slaves by raiding the temple graneries and giving the grain to the slaves and finally giving them one day in seven to rest. Thus, the slaves became more happier and more productive and as such, the city of Seti's Jubliee is nearly completed, resulting in a win-win scenario.
