Honorable broadcaster, may the god Amun protect Abubis. May the priest Kimoni live.
Acting on behalf of Alkhmaho. May Amun accept your acts of devotion. I have always said that the venerable Abubis is a man of faith, unlike his master King Amenhotep III.
There is a great difference between faith and the faith of Amenhotep. You know that the king holds the rank of a demigod, so how could he be without faith? He is without faith.
And what about Potiphar, the chief of Egypt? I am certain you have seen him yourself more than once insulting the gods of the temple and its priests, haven't you?
Yes, I have seen him, but the gods have the right to speak to each other, this is not proof of disbelief.
The gods are not like the rest of creation, right?
And do the gods also have the right to destroy one another?
That is impossible. How heedless you are! Amenhotep ordered Potiphar to attack the temple and its priests and to destroy the god Amun.
I don't believe what you're saying. No, I don't believe you. The honorable Amenhotep does not give such orders.
After all, the high priest does not speak lies.
I will take you to him so you can hear from him yourself.
If what you say is true, there is no doubt that the god Amun will punish you.
Punish them harshly. Potiphar has received the punishment he deserves, and Amenhotep's turn will come later. Did not.
You are looking into the details of my husband's scandal.
Potiphar is with some of her foreign slaves in the palace. Do you mean that the god Amun has cast his curse upon Potiphar and his wife Zuleikha? Never doubt that this scanda.
The scandal has harmed Potiphar's status and credibility in front of the general people of Egypt.
If you wish, I will take you to Alkhama, the high priest. Yes, this is my utmost hope and desire, I will definitely go. May you be blessed.
The honorable Ikhmah is not present right now.
But I will take you to him as soon as he arrives at the gate.
Yuzarsif is a chaste and pure man.
I heard that Zuleikha had been pursuing him for some time, and she tried to seduce him more than once, but Yuzarsif kept rejecting her.
Until they were caught together a few days ago.
What happened between them has become the talk of the city. How could a descendant of the nobility.
And the second is a woman in Egypt.
To commit such a great betrayal.
Potiphar was obliged to spill her blood.
The people of Medina say that their young man has captivated her with love.
And when the mention of Yusuf came up in front of her during the gathering, her face changed color. What can you do, when the heart falls, it drags its owner with it.
I assure you, she fell in love with Yusuf, but Yusuf did not give himself to her.
It is only natural then that Zuleikha would lose her mind and attack him. I admire Yusuf for his chastity and purity, but it is not right.
It is not right for any of the slaves to reject their mistress and disobey her orders, especially if she is as beautiful as Zuleikha.
Forget about her, but honestly I think Zuleikha was punished for what Potiphar did. What do you mean? I met Kimoni today.
He is one of the temple priests and he spoke to me for a while. He says
that Amenhotep III and Potiphar denied the god Amun and planned to attack and destroy the temple. Do you mean that the gods pushed Zuleikha to commit this act in order to expose her husband Potiphar?
I also did not believe what he said. I made a promise with Kimoni that he would take me to the high priest Ikhmaho so I could hear his explanation of what happened.
Go back home now, and I have to go to the palace. Go.
My followers can come back to life after their death.
Just as the Nile River comes back to life after its drought.
And just as the plants of the earth resume their life after the death of winter, this is My will, so adhere to it.
Shroud and prepare the bodies of your dead so that their life remains connected.
Otherwise, death will encompass them and annihilation will surround them.
Have you not seen that I tend to the bodies of your dead in the depths of the earth.
So preserve them as they are despite the passing of ages. This is My will for those among My servants who obey Me and are pleased with Me.
Please me with offerings that you present before me. Fill my temple with precious gifts and abundant wealth.
So that I may immortalize you after your death. Jidi Hoti.
I am Amun, the god of gods. I distinguish between a confident look and a hesitant one.
I see on your face the signs of doubt and denial.
This time, I will become your richness.
But if you return to stealing glances.
Then you will be punished with death for your crime. I beg your pardon, forgive me please.
I repent to Amun, the god of gods. Pardon me.
Forgive me please, please.
I have given life to all of you.
I have granted you eternal life.
I will leave your presence to go where I take refuge every night.
The one who guides creation, cares for them, and manages their affairs finds rest from his exhaustion.
And to prepare myself for tomorrow.
Where I aim to guide the servants and care for
their affairs.
Amun is pleased with you, his sincere servants. Beware of forgetting the rights of the temple and its priests.
The land of the god Amun is pleased with the gifts and offerings you present.
O noble one, I spoke to Abu Bis, directly at the table of Amenhotep III.
I told him about the disbelief of Umm Hotep and Potiphar.
But he refused to believe me, so I promised to bring him to you later so he could hear from you the truth of their disbelief.
Make sure he attends with me. Amenhotep must be punished severely.
And the roots of this family must be eradicated from the history of Egypt. Make sure he comes.
Potiphar has received his share of Amun's curse, and Amenhotep's turn will come. Certainly, my lord.
So, the high-ranking Alkhmaho knows what happened between Yousarsif and Lady Zuleikha. Yes.
Diabon informed me about that.
Zuleikha's actions have brought shame upon the temple, and she must justify her involvement, but we will not allow Potiphar to escape responsibility.
After Potiphar's matter was exposed.
Now it is Amenhotep's turn after Amenhotep has been eliminated.
No one will dare challenge the god Amun. Spread this incident throughout the entire city. The matter of Potiphar must be exposed.
His true nature must be known. Say that the symbol of Egypt's power, I mean Potiphar, has allowed a foreign slave to manage all the affairs of his palace, even his wife Zuleikha.
He caught his slave with Zuleikha, but he kept it secret for both of them. Whoever allows a foreign slave to manage all the affairs of his palace,
will not hesitate to allow foreigners to control the affairs of the country and its people. Say,
that the steward of Potiphar's palace is a disbeliever, and that the disbelievers Amenhotep and Potiphar have resolved to destroy the god Amun and the temple of Egypt's gods.
You must incite the people to revolt against the authority of Amenhotep.
Inform the ruler Potiphar that I will come to his palace tomorrow to investigate the matter. Willingly and obediently.
It is necessary for Potiphar.
To pay the price for his disbelief and defiance.
To the god Amun. Do you know what is happening outside this room?
Why are you asking? What happened? What happened between you and Yuzarsif has become known and spread throughout the palace and all over Medina.
Now everyone knows the details of what happened.
What are you saying? Who spread it?
If I find out who it is, I will stop him myself. How would I know?
An incident witnessed by more than two people can never remain a secret.
I was expecting a day like this. It occurred to me that the witnesses would spread what happened that night.
Yusuf does not do this, like Yamama. But one of them spread the news.
Until this matter became the talk of all of Medina, it is the gossip of women's gatherings.
All of them say that Zuleikha is a reckless and foolish woman, decorative in status, known for immorality, whose stories of debauchery have spread in the alleys and neighborhoods.
Those who claim chastity accuse Zuleikha of being foolish.
But their stories of immorality are not the talk of the gatherings, so there is no doubt that people beautify their ugly faces by talking a lot about the news of Zuleikha.
I will show them, and the people of Medina with them, the truth of what they are, so that they will lower their heads in shame at themselves.
I will prove to them that any other woman, if she were in my place,
would have caused a much bigger scandal than I did. The news even reached the great Akhmah, and it is said that he was very angry and upset.
May the gods have mercy on me. I am certain he will come here to scold me. Your suspicion is correct, the honorable Akhmah will come to the palace today.
I do not dare face him. Our great mother, help me.
Akhmah was happy, right?
No, no, you are completely wrong. His Excellency Akhmah was very sad and extremely worried.
No problem, let him honor us. It is our pleasure.
You can leave now.
You have always been an enemy of the temple and have stood up to the tyranny of Alkhama.
And now I have to receive him in my palace and remain silent about his hurtful words against me.
If I did not love you so much, I would have punished you with all severity.
If you were someone else's wife.
I would have handed you over to the executioner myself.
But I have no choice, and you are also the wife of Amun.
You were about to betray me.
You must offer sacrifices before Amun and ask him to forgive your crimes.
There is no harm upon you.
It's okay.
I will forgive you.
I hope that Amun will forgive you too.
Long live Ali al-Muqami, Yousuf.
May Allah's peace be upon Nemesbo, black of skin, white of heart.
What is going on with you? I am not bringing you any good news.
What happened between you and Lady Zuleikha has become the talk of everyone.
It seems to me that people have nothing to do except to go on and on about the scandal.
Zuleikha has handed over control to her commanding self.
And this self will lead her to destruction.
Unless she restrains her commanding self and disciplines it.
Yusuf, my master, Lady Zuleikha was a cunning and beautiful woman, so how were you able to escape her traps? She escaped the wrath of the Almighty, but not from Zuleikha.
Whoever's heart is attached to the love of the One whose beauty has no equal, does not care about someone like Zuleikha.
And whoever believes in standing before Allah, the Exalted, sees nothing in sin except the tongues of the Fire of Jahannam. Master Yusuf.
What? Tell me, what about the story of the infant who spoke and the locked doors that opened by themselves.
Some people say that Yusuf bewitched everything. All of this is from the kindness of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.
For a moment, I thought that Allah, my Lord, had neglected me and left me to myself.
And that I was alone in front of Zuleikha.
But after that, I saw with my own eyes that the Exalted never neglected me.
Rather, His kindness surrounded me the whole time.
Who is that insolent young man who did not bow before me? Yusuf, it is he himself. And where is Potiphar?
He will join you shortly.
Let them enter. To the place.
The high-ranking Potiphar and Lady Zuleikha.
Not even the venerable Akhmah, the high priest of Egypt, dared to enter the temple of our humble palace.
Amun is extremely ashamed. The god Amun has been humiliated before his enemies.
Zuleikha, you are one of the temple's goddesses, and among the wives of the god Amun, the greatest of Egypt's gods.
What shame have you brought upon us?
You have set your heart on loving a young man who openly shows hostility to Amun, and who has never hesitated to oppose and defy the temple priests.
You both submitted to a foreign, disbelieving young man whose true beliefs we do not know.
By doing so, you have humiliated our god Amun before the gods of this Hebrew youth.
Do you think we are the priests of the temple of the god Amun?
Should we endure the shame you have brought upon us? If you were the wife of Potiphar, esteemed noble of Egypt.
You would have to be punished severely.
What do you want to say?
Do you even dare to speak?
I ask you to allow me to defend myself.
My lord Alkhama, do you permit me? I am busy, speak. I ask you to grant me a few days.
And I will prove to everyone that I am innocent. And how can you clear yourself of this scandal?
This is exactly what I am aiming for, I want to silence those who speak about me.
I have no problem with that, let's see what you will do, even though I know it's impossible to restore the lost honor of the god Amun.
You have served on a golden platter the cup of deadly poison that the priest Alkhmaho gave me to drink.
Otherwise, he and his companion Badyamun are even more despicable and powerless.
Even to the point that they cannot bark at the gate of my palace.
Next, mama. Yes, my lady.
Prepare a lounge and get ready for a grand banquet, and invite the noblewomen and the court ladies.
I have something to say.
Did you summon me, my lady? What do you command me?
I won't burden you with my requests. I only ask that you attend tomorrow's banquet.
And wear your finest clothes. Make yourself look your best.
Whenever I call you, come into our gathering, place the fruit dishes in front of me, then return to where you came from.
Will you do this for me? I have no objection.
I will do as you ask.
Leave now if you wish.
We have prepared for all the women a comfortable lounge and soft bedding as well. I want them to enjoy complete luxury.
We have prepared for them the most delicious foods and drinks.
We brought plenty of citron fruit, and we gave each of them a sharp knife and a cutter.
Will you allow me, Potiphar's wife, to stay? What do you want, say it.
I want to prove that I am not a bad woman as you imagine.
Will you give me a chance for that? You should admit your sin and repent from it.
Instead of trying to justify the grave crime you committed. I am not asking much from you.
I hope that tomorrow you will stand for a few minutes near the reception hall.
So you can see the events that will take place there.
Events. I have decided to seek the help of the women of Egypt to restore my lost dignity.
Have you accepted what I asked of you? Fine, I have accepted.
Thank you very much.
I did not want to accept this invitation.
Because attending Zuleikha's gathering after her scandal brings shame to whoever attends.
But my husband Bidiamon insisted that I come to her party. I also did not want to.
But my curiosity pushed me to come. How much I would like to know the details of what happened between Zuleikha and her Hebrew servant.
I only came to this party to see Zarsil.
I wanted to know who is this person who made his mistress Zuleikha fall so deeply in love. And how do you know that Yusuf will be present here?
If there were a way to escape.
I would have fled from here, otherwise it is very hard for me to attend the gathering of the devil that these women have arranged.
The ladies of Egypt and the daughters of its nobility.
Today, at this gathering, she will judge between me and you.
The sharp blade of the knife, and the thin peel of the citron.
I ask you to reach out your hands to the citron whenever I signal you to do so. I have arranged this gathering for a reason.
You will know it shortly.
Dear guests, you may have some citron.
Come in to us.
Truly, he is very beautiful and has a handsome face.
I have never seen anyone more beautiful than him in my life.
He is not a human, he is a noble angel.
He is not a human, but the very embodiment of beauty itself.
This is the boy you blamed me for.
I tried to seduce him.
I was attracted to him.
But he protected himself and turned me away.
You only saw him once, and he drove you out of your minds.
As for me, I see him every day.
He comes and goes every day.
Right before my eyes.
What would you have done if you were in my place?
He is a king who has taken the form of a human.
Or perhaps he is a spark from the light of the heavens and its radiance that shines upon the earth, as if he is a heavenly being who descended to the surface of the earth.
Or perhaps he is of the kind of gods that take on the bodies of humans.
Or maybe he is one of the gods of light who descended from their heights to earth to urge mankind to worship them. I swear, Zuleikha is not to be blamed for what she did.
Yusuf is not a human like the rest of creation. All of this is nonsense.
He is a human, just as we are human.
But I ask you now, does not such an angelic young man deserve that I bear the burden of this accusation for him?
Do you now blame me and call me misguided?
No, I admit that you are excused for what you did.
And that the women of Egypt have wronged you.
And this is my purpose in hosting you.
My Lord, guide all sinners to the straight path.
And save me from the plots and traps of the devils.
I have achieved my goal from this gathering.
We have returned to your homes.
I saw everything.
There is no need for you to speak. What do you want to conclude from what happened? Isn't the conclusion clear to you?
It was a complete crime. It's as if you want to say you are excused for trying to seduce Yusuf.
Because when the women of Egypt saw Yusuf, they cut their hands. You are not allowed to justify your action by the reaction of the heedless women of Egypt.
Are they really like you, and are you like them?
Why don't you take the chaste, pure women as your example?
Summon a number of the women of Egypt so they can deliver my message to Yusuf.
My lady.
Wouldn't it be better to put an end to this? We fear what this matter could lead to for you, and we care about. the reputation of the honorable Potiphar.
Enough, that was meddling just now.
You both must deliver my message to him. Do it, no matter what it takes.
He must submit to my will and comply with my desire.
If he refuses and does not do what I command him, he will be among the humiliated.
Bolala, now that the veils of modesty and chastity have been torn away.
I will go to war until I win or perish.
Which of the women do you see as worthy of delivering this message on your behalf? And how would I know?
Choose from among them one who dares to utter these words.
My Lord, I ask You to turn away from me the schemes of these women, and to foil their plots, fearing that I might incline toward them and thus be among the ignorant wrongdoers.
This is not fair at all. Zuleikha bought you with her wealth, and her love for you grew in her heart for years, and now you wrong yourself by disobeying her orders.
You will gain nothing from your rebellion except prison.
Be sure that I will never give in to Zuleikha.
Because if I obey her in what she asks, I would be disobeying my Lord.
It's okay, then choose one of us.
Because our longing to be with you is no less than her passion for you.
How foolish you both are as women.
If I turned away Lady Zuleikha and did not obey her in sin, despite all the kindness she has shown me, how could I obey you when you are strangers?
Your beloved and gentle face shows your sensitive heart, and it is not the way of noble people to turn away those who are passionate in their love. If you repeat your vile request to me again,
I will speak out harshly and curse you in front of everyone. It seems to me that the honorable Yusuf has prepared himself to endure all kinds of punishment.
Be sure that we, along with Zuleikha, will not stop until we get what we want from you, and if necessary, we will not hesitate to have you imprisoned.
A gift from our mistress.
Whoever is raised in the care of the Prophets is not deceived by the tricks of the reckless, nor is he ever harmed by the schemes of those who worship their desires.
The sacred bird that soars in the kingdom of Allah.
It does not fall into the traps set for the crow and the kite.
So may you live in high status, Yusuf.
Beware of bowing before another like Nimasabu.
In reality, sir, I have simply gotten used to it, nothing more.
I learned since I was a small child to bow before elders.
Listen, the One before whom all creation must bow is not me.
He truly deserves to be exalted.
What do you want? I do not want anything.
But, but what was I going to say? What? I remembered, I wanted to tell you, sir, that the women who left your room went straight to Lady Zuleikha. Obviously.
She is the one who sent them to force me to give myself to them.
And now they have gone to her to show her their failure.
Tell me, Misabo, do you know what these handkerchiefs are used for?
Why did you put the handkerchiefs under your feet, sir?
It is a sign of desire for you.
Any woman who wanted to show a man her desire for him would give him one of these handkerchiefs or send it to him.
But you put them under your feet, sir.
I wish one of them would notice me, even with the corner of her eye.
So she would send me one of them.
Fine, I understand, I got it. I have to leave now, it's okay.
I will stop saying things that have no benefit. I hear and obey.
But, noble one, what you are doing goes against the proper way of dealing with beautiful women.
We have exhausted all tricks and could not tame him. If he were a stone, his heart would have softened at my condition.
But Yusuf is harder than solid rock. Our efforts have been in vain. We will not achieve our goal.
Well, how do you advise me to act? Is there no way to reach him? Yusuf must be imprisoned, it is our only way.
Prison? If he enters prison, he will realize the value of the palace he lives in. Once he tastes the bitterness of imprisonment, he will submit to you and obey whatever you command.
But I cannot bear this matter.
Prison will separate me from him.
If you want to tame him, you must accept his imprisonment.
This is just discipline. Temporary imprisonment will be enough to tame the disobedience of Yusuf. Prison will break his pride. And you will not hesitate to release him.
