The Hebrews are suffering.
Babies are in danger.
Where is G-d?
The salvation is already in motion --
the savior, Moses, has been born!
But it'll take some decades before he actually carries out his role, before the Children of Israel can be freed from slavery.
The harshness of life moves parallel to its sweetness in potential.
