As the Israelites follow Moses through the desert, his sister Miriam comforts them through hunger, thirst, and endless wilderness. Miriam's grandson Bezalel describes their journey, drawing pictures in the sand as he dreams of the future. When his great-uncle Moses climbs the mountain to receive God's laws, Bezalel learns he has been chosen as the artist who will craft the Holy Ark for the Ten Commandments.
