Epic story! See The Ten Commandments. Or if you haven't the patience for 3.5 hours of 1956 drama, try the light and breezy 1.5 hours animation The Prince of Egypt (1998).

A story from 3000 years ago. An ENDURING story. Famous like the Jesus story. Need the Ten Cs of course, no rules, there is CHAOS. So leaders need rules and they tell us God gives them AUTHORITY.
Yes. I'm still doubtful that all leaders lead and guide for the welfare of their people. And their use of God to reinforce their own authority is not something that all their followers realize.
