Listening to the "Prince Of Egypt" in Hebrew is so powerful. Knowing that Dreamworks animators were so struck by Ofra Haza that they based Yocheved upon her is a wonderful way to pay homage to and remember such a wonderful singer.
Dunno if you guys cares but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother lately xD
No one puts their baby in the water unless the water is safer than land. I hope there will someday be a world where no one must put their baby in the water.
I agree with everyone. She got no choice. Need to see in that era. A fun fact: Tripitaka whom went on foot from China to India to get the sutra. When he was a baby he was also put in a basket onto a river by his mother. The basket flow downstream and landed to a temple. Parallel history
Through her magnificent voice, Ofra Haza united us all, and has proved that music it's her international language by performing Yocheved in 18 languages. Personally, it's a great honour for me that she was willing to performe Yocheved in my language (Greek), she was heartbreaking. Of course, Hebrew is my ultimate favorite performance of hers! May she rest in peace
Ofra haza didn't die she lives on in her music. Robin Williams lives on in the laughter he made for us Stan lee lives on in the forms of all his creations and interations No one truly dies they live on in what they did in their lives Death is just another path, one that we all must take.
Especially in times like this.. it feels like the whole world is against us. Cares to destroy us. But this song makes me hopeful knowing that the my people always made it in the end. As an Israeli and a Jew, I’m proud of my people.
@@imiconic4785 it's so funny how yall keep claiming that the Jews are the "occupiers" knowing the fact that the original name of this land is Yisrael/Judea and that the so called "palestinian" people are just Arab colonizers lol, learn some history instead of spreading lies!
No matter how many times I listen to this song, no matter that I'm not Jewish, I cry every time I hear this 😭 "Prince of Egypt" is truly a masterpiece.
My family isn't Jewish but honestly my respect for the people is immense. It is such a beautiful culture with a beautiful language, the immense history of their people is something unmatched. Much love from a person not involved in the culture but respects and appreciates it❤.
My dad once told me... "you have seen in books, photos and movies many things about the suffering of the jew People in the holocaust... Now imagine all that suffering multiplied in hundreds of years... That is how they suffered in egypt during those times... Imagine All that pain and death" When he told me that my heart broke.... And when i see this scene it makes it all more terrible.
Indeed, we have suffered and have been suffering for millions of years. The only thing we Jewish people want is to live in peace and quiet. The suffering doesnt stop...
Conny Lulu Art 🎨 just like the hundreds of years of black slavery in the americas. Slavery has been around for centuries and centuries, yet it is always amazing to see how far people can rise out of their chains.
I was visiting Israel this year and it is my second time and I can't wait to be back next year. It was so amazing to be in Israel and travel around and seeing all the places and eating all those types of Israeli food, cakes and candies.
Thank you for this, it would've been in Aramic, actually. Hebrew was only written at the time and it wasn't a spoken but a holy language still. Though I assume that if you look at it as a prayer than it would've been sung in Hebrew indeed.
You get confused with a much later period. When they were exiled from Israel to Babylon they began to speak Aramaic because it was the international language then. When they returned to Israel after 70 years, only the elders still spoke Hebrew and the younger generation who knew Aramaic only prayed in Hebrew. But it happened 1500 years after they were in Egypt. In Egypt they spoke Hebrew.
Enobong Ekong you mean if the Jewish people of Egypt actually sang the song? yes, they would sound maybe not exactly like this due to dialect differences but very similar.
I figure, since the song mostly addresses God, it would've been Hebrew. Although of course, the Egyptian queen who finds Moshe would have spoken Egyptian, not Hebrew. But when the story was told by the Israelites later on, they would have told it in Hebrew.
@Morituri te Salutant Yes, and no one is certain how the vowels were pronounced. Modern Hebrew actually uses Yiddish vowels as Hebrew vowels were lost over the centuries. Paleohebrew is very interesting. If you reed an amplified Bible, there will be multiple versions of certain verses, different possible translations. You see paleaHebrew was actually a lot more complicated then even ancient Hebrew. Ancient and modern Hebrew are alphabetic like English. Paleohebrew was both alphabetic and pictographic (like Chinese) at the same time. Each letter was also a word and a number. a word was a word, a string of letters and a sentence, and each sentence a paragraph. A sentence in Paleoheberw could actually be saying a ton of things all at the same time. Sometimes curbed by context and sometimes actually saying all or several of the meanings simultaneously. This is why Bible translation is such a big deal...its *hard.* Every sentence in the Bible can mean a whole bunch of different things that may or may not translate to English properly.
I always love listening to songs in their original language, it really connects you to them, to know what the song was supposed to be sung in. I would also recommend listening to Once Upon a December in Russian.
anastasia and prince of egypt are the best non-disney animated movies, and prince of egypt is probably my favorite animated movie of all time. they beat out like 99% of the films in the medium.
Despite I have some serious issues with "Anastasia" (for its awful historical inaccuracies), "Once upon in December" gives me chills every time I listen to it. And I find the episode where Anastasia sings this song is the best episode from whole movie.
I watch this every year just before Passover. It became a tradition as it was shown in school as I grew up. We would compare and contrast this film to the Passover story in the Torah. Now I am just watching it on my own. Hardest Passover yet is coming. Stay healthy and safe everybody! RIP Ofra Haza ברוך דיין אמת
The Book is much much more detailed! I know this is a year later, but I'm so glad you're getting into the Torah.... I was 30 when I decided to obtain a Chumash with commentaries and read the Exodus story.. Amazing.. and I only scratched the surface! Hag Sameach to you!
@@r.b.603 First of all, being 'second class citizens' does not mean they are getting murdered. Second, they are not a part of Israel they are an authority (the Palestinian Authority). And how do you want them to be a 'first class citizens' and let them vote if they declaring publicly in their statement that their goal is to kill every jew in the world??!!?!
@@r.b.603 as a person who worked with Palestinians many of them doesnt see us as killers this is propaganda agienst isreal . By the way dont you think that the jewish people suffered enough in the past 3500 years !!!! And because a jew wants to protact his famliy from killers , its bad ? Shame on you !!! Anti Semitic baster
Listening to it in my native language (Italian) is already exciting. The Hebrew version, however, is something unique and poignant. Perhaps because it is the native language of the characters in the film, and even though you don't understand the words, you understand their profound suffering.
goosebumps every time, nothing beats this version and no matter how many times i'll watch/ listen to this, every time it reaches to the water part, i cry my eyes out
I remember watching a live action movie about this :( the scene where the soldiers went in and killed the babies traumatized me as a kid. I couldnt get the image of the pile of dead babies out of my head. But damn is this movie beautiful, and so sad. Poor baby boys😔
Can We Just Talk About How That Lady Managed To Move Her Way Around God Know's HOW Many Guards (All Out To Kill Her Baby On Sight) WITH Two Kids And A Baby To Keep A Eye On As Well? Like,That's Some Skills She's Got There.
Um you do know that it's a movie and not a documentary? In the Book, she and Miriam tried to ensure t Moses would make it to the daughter of the pharaoh (perhaps they knew her and knew she could be trusted) and then just by "coincidence" when Bithiah called to Miriam to fetch ha Hebrew wet nurse, guess who becomes that? Yocheved, Moses' real mother. And since babies are nursed until 2 or 3, Moses knew his mother while being in the employ of the Palace. So most likely Yocheved may have been a slave in the place and forced her mistress to come face to face with the aftermath of her father's edict. Incidentally, Aaron barely escaped that edict being around 4 or 5 at the time.
@@EugeneJean-jv6ys no one claims Israelis to come from Egypt or Mesopotamia. We come from the Kingdom of Israel/Judea which is the same land of Cannan and modern-day Israel. We simply renamed the land after Abraham's grandson.
We have lost a great gift from God wth her passing now earth is a little bit poorer wthout her but Heavin is much richer recieving her precious soul now she has returned back2 where she came from, R.I.P.😢💝Ofra Haza
I have been an Ofra Haza fan for a couple years now and after watching this version of the beginning of “Prince of Egypt” I felt more amazed by Ofra’s performance but at the same time it reminded me of the holocausts and the pogroms that the descendants of Israel had to endure for thousands of years.
Oh my Elohim, why is this the only Hebrew version of this song available less than HD? All the other tracks are available with better audio quality. Ah, I'm nitpicking, I'd like to hear this track in a lossless audio format.
טיט,חול, מים, תבן, מהר יותר! חול, במרץ! חול, משכו! מים, למעלה! קש, מהר יותר! כשהשוט שוב מכאיב על כתפינו הזיעה מלוחה על מצחינו אלוהים, התשמע, שעוותינו הרבה? התגאל מסבלותינו? הושיע נא! קולנו שמע, הושיע נא! אלוהים, אותך נזכור בארץ ים עם חול לקולך נישא, לילות יחלפו עד ש- תביאנו אל ארץ האבות. ילדי הטוב והרך אל תרא ואל תפחד. ילדי, זאת ממני תקבל רק סיכוי להנצל לאל שוב אתפלל הו, אלי! הושיע נא! זו תפילה, הושיע נא! למצולה ששם נחמוק מעול קשה מנשוא הושיע נא! לנו ארץ הובטחה הוציאנו נא מהחשכה לארץ שלנו הובטחה אל נא תבכה, הרדם במנוחה הקשב לאוושת הגלים אותך מרדימה בשיר ערש אמך איתך אהיה לעולמים מי הנהר, שבנחת קולחים שמרו על אוצר כה מושלם אם תמצאו איזה חוף מבטחים אותו נא הביאו לשם. אח כה יקר לי, שלומך אתפלל זכור גם אותי בחלום אבל כשתגדל ותהיה הגואל לנו תביא רק שלום. (בת פרעה: בוא רעמסס. נראה לפרעה את אחיך החדש, משה) הושיע נא! שלח רואה שיראה לנו את הדרך אל ארץ האבות הביאנו לארץ האבות!
El rey león y el príncipe de Egipto tienen (para mi) las mejores introducciones musicales en una película, con una musicalización hermosa, visualmente muy bonitas y cautivantes desde el el inicio hasta el final. Definitivamente escuchar esta versión es mucho más conmovedora y poderosa al mismo tiempo ❤️
