This audiobook is a reverent blend of Scripture, history, and imagination, centered on the final chapters of Genesis. It explores the relational and spiritual foundations laid by Joseph, his brothers, and the women of their households as they navigate grief, legacy, and cultural transition in Egypt. The author intentionally fills in the “quiet spaces” between biblical verses—moments where hearts break, heal, and hope—offering fictional but thoughtful interpretations that stay faithful to what Scripture says. The story sets the stage for Exodus by beginning not with Moses, but with the people and dynamics that shaped the world he would inherit.

Welcome to the Moses Chronicles.
00:00:03:29 - 00:00:07:21
You are listening to the Moses Chronicles Prelude book one,
00:00:08:14 - 00:00:12:26
written by RR Wekesa and narrated by M McIntosh.
00:00:13:20 - 00:00:17:03
Before the commandments and the wilderness, there was a promise
00:00:18:05 - 00:00:20:09
in the sacred retelling of Genesis
00:00:20:09 - 00:00:24:04
49 and 50, Joseph Greaves Brothers
00:00:24:04 - 00:00:27:04
reckon and destinies begin to stir.
00:00:27:27 - 00:00:31:09
The Exodus hasn't come, but the fault lines have formed.
00:00:32:03 - 00:00:35:03
This is the story before the basket on the Nile,
00:00:35:11 - 00:00:38:11
the quiet before slavery.
00:00:41:01 - 00:00:43:06
Thank you for listening to the Moses Chronicles.
00:00:43:06 - 00:00:44:13
Prelude.
00:00:44:13 - 00:00:48:03
Before the story begins, I'd like to share a few words from the heart
00:00:48:21 - 00:00:51:21
why this book was written and what I hope it stirs in you.
00:00:52:14 - 00:00:55:14
I'm the author, Regina Rountree Wakasa,
00:00:55:22 - 00:00:59:25
and what follows is my author's note spoken just as I wrote it.
00:01:00:26 - 00:01:02:20
This work is a tapestry
00:01:02:20 - 00:01:05:23
woven from Scripture, history and imagination.
00:01:06:18 - 00:01:08:29
The Moses Chronicles prelude
00:01:08:29 - 00:01:11:29
is rooted in the final chapters of Genesis,
00:01:12:00 - 00:01:16:27
where Jacob bless his sons and is laid to rest, and where 12 sons,
00:01:16:27 - 00:01:22:11
two nephews, and the women who love them begin to forge lasting bonds.
00:01:22:11 - 00:01:25:05
In the shadow of his final words.
00:01:25:05 - 00:01:29:03
Relationships are given breadth and depth, and the dynamics
00:01:29:03 - 00:01:33:07
between them begin to shape a path that will alter the course of history,
00:01:33:27 - 00:01:38:05
all while the sands of Egypt quietly shift beneath their feet.
00:01:39:03 - 00:01:42:08
I have long been drawn to the quiet spaces in Scripture,
00:01:42:27 - 00:01:46:28
the places between verses where hearts break, heal, and hope.
00:01:47:26 - 00:01:50:18
This novel lives in that space.
00:01:50:18 - 00:01:53:14
While I've taken creative liberties to flesh out
00:01:53:14 - 00:01:56:19
relationships, timelines, and motivations.
00:01:57:11 - 00:02:00:01
I've done so with deep reverence for the biblical
00:02:00:01 - 00:02:03:01
narrative and Elohim who authored it.
00:02:03:14 - 00:02:07:05
I've also done my best to follow Egypt's pharaonic timeline.
00:02:07:06 - 00:02:10:09
Where possible, you'll encounter moments
00:02:10:21 - 00:02:14:17
not explicitly written in Scripture or history,
00:02:15:24 - 00:02:18:24
conversations, conflicts, and subplots
00:02:18:28 - 00:02:22:17
shaped by steady imagination and prayerful reflection.
00:02:23:23 - 00:02:27:06
These are offered not as doctrine but as fiction.
00:02:27:29 - 00:02:30:09
An invitation to walk alongside
00:02:30:09 - 00:02:33:27
familiar names and see them not as distant figures,
00:02:34:12 - 00:02:37:11
but as living, breathing people navigating
00:02:37:11 - 00:02:40:11
covenant culture and calling.
00:02:40:13 - 00:02:44:01
As I've often said, I may take creative liberties with
00:02:44:01 - 00:02:48:12
what is not said, but I never want to alter what is said.
00:02:49:06 - 00:02:52:06
That conviction shapes every page of the story.
00:02:53:24 - 00:02:56:28
This prelude sets the stage for what's to come,
00:02:57:16 - 00:03:01:18
a sweeping retelling of the Exodus journey from palaces
00:03:01:18 - 00:03:06:09
to wilderness to promised land, from promise to slavery to freedom.
00:03:07:02 - 00:03:11:00
It begins not with Moses, but with the community that raised him.
00:03:11:16 - 00:03:14:23
The world that shaped him, and the generations
00:03:14:23 - 00:03:17:29
who carried hope long before he drew his first breath.
00:03:19:03 - 00:03:20:02
Thank you
00:03:20:02 - 00:03:23:02
