Basically a rather dubious Hetalia version of the famed "King Pharaoh, King Pharaoh, please let my people go!" song we were all haunted with in Hebrew/Sunday school. Emphasis on dubious.
First, the three Israeli siblings + Daddy!Yisrael This is a system of characterising Israel that's been floating around LJ a bit, and I kind of find it best suits my purposes here. -Mizrahim (our victim), literally the Middle Eastern Jews -Sephardim (the sister), Spanish and Mediterranean and African Jews (basically everyone kicked out during Reconquista and all that jazz) -Ashkenazim (the brother), Eastern/Central European Jews Obviously Mizrahim plays the part of Moses (or something), and Moses had a brother and a sister. Coincidence? I think not!!!!! D8
*Midian is the area around the Sinai Peninsula in modern day Egypt, and this is where Moses went after he first left Egypt *Kemet is the Egyptian word for Egypt, so...mama!Egypt

So, yeah. This is really a heavily sexed adaption of the Exodus in the Old Testament. You can go read that briefly if you're curious. It's easily available online in several different translations.
Or you can go watch Prince of Egypt on youtube. But that one's not totally accurate XD
hurr me again~

I also apologise in advance for the horribleness of this. I literally just stayed up until 6:30 in the morning from 8AM yesterday for the sake of this, so don't be surprised if there is some subject-verb disagreement or something. D: And I also apologise for any mind fuckery and the lacklustre notes. I'm really exhausted.

If anyone has questions, I'll be happy to answer to the best of my ability.
And if anyone comes to beat me over the head, I'll take that graciously as well. Goodness.
