It's me, Satan!
It's me, Satan!
Satan, the banished!
The accursed! The disfavoured!
The humiliated!
Expelled from the empyrean!
Thrown down to the earth!
But Jehovah gave me till
the end of times.
So, hear me man, son of Adam!
With time still ticking,
I will not be inactive.
I will lead you into various
temptations and sins.
I will lead you into ignorance.
Sweet ignorance!
The great idol!
Second only to Nimrod!
Who are you?
Sent by God!
This a hallowed idol-house!
Babel in the land of the Chaldeans
was ruled by Nimrod. son of Cush.
Babel in the land of the Chaldeans
was ruled by Nimrod, son of Cush.
Also known as Babylon, it was
a small part of Nimrod's kingdom.
Yet, it was the largest city
I in the region.
Nimrod was the most powerful
man on earth.
Fig was considered the god
of gods.
And his people worshipped him
besides many other idols.
People of Babel!
I swear to you by Nimrod,
the god of gods.
I was dusting a certain idol.
And even though my action
was a form of worship.
He cursed me with an
eternal curse.
Give way to Azar!
Give way to the one who crafts
the gods with his hands.
Give way to the one who crafts
the gods with his hands.
May Azar put an end to this curse!
Give way to Azar, please!
He forms the gods
with his hands.
And by the generosity of
this great sage
the greatest priest of Babel
one's fate is decided
the clouds disperse and
the sky of Babel brightens.
When Azar uses his hands
and tools, a god takes shape.
And when a god is created,
Nimrod, the great monarch,
holds him dear in this land.
I have not sculpted
this cursed idol.
Obeis, the other sculptor, did.
You're a great poet.
My carvers would make your god
worthy of your words
and that, without charging you.
Out of the way!
Bow down!
Out of the way!
Bow down!
What are you looking at?
That ungrateful Nimrod.
He doesn't appreciate me.
Me!
Obeis!
How can anyone holds
Azar's idols worthier
than mine?
Sarai!
What are Nimrod's troops going
to do to him?
What are you talking about?
Abram didn't prostrate.
What?
They arrested him, father.
Even though he's
Azar's protege.
What will become of him?
What?
The law is:
prostrate or be punished.
Lot, is it Abram again?
He refuses to prostrate.
What have you done, Abram?
Do you enjoy being
in this dark dungeon?
Is it better than home?
Should I prostrate
before a man who's flesh and
bone like me
even though he's
the head of an empire?
That's enough, Abram!
That bitter tongue of yours
has disturbed Nimrod
and his followers.
Be careful!
Soon, even I, Azar, won't be
able to intervene on your behalf.
Azar, why are you making
my son son pt idols?
I am,hunted by the ghost
of Abram's deceased mother.
I make Abram carve
stones like my other children.
Gut his father lets him stay here
so he can learn the craft
and knows well that his son
sculpt with such great finesse.
He's even superior to
my own sons.
Sculpt! Sculpt!
For you shall be my successor!
What have you done?
- It's only rock...
- It's a god to worship!
This stone?
How can you worship what
you yourself make?
You are my future, understand?
You won't carve for me anymore.
From now on you'll be selling.
Selling only.
You'll go to the bazaar and sell
gods to your fellow Babylonians.
Idols! Polished and colored!
Cheap ones!
Expensive ones!
Neither useful, nor harmful!
Buy an idol! Buy an idol!
Cheap ones!
Expensive ones!
Get a good deal on my gods!
They do no harm and
they do no good. Buy now!
Your own personal god
made in Babel!
I took you in, Abram.
