"En 1845, le pasteur Éléazar quitte son Irlande natale avec sa femme et ses deux enfants pour émigrer en Amérique, comme des milliers de ses compatriotes chassés par la grande famine. Débarquant en Virginie, il entreprend la traversée du continent pour gagner cette Californie qui se confond pour beaucoup avec la Terre promise. Parvenu dans le désert du Colorado, il lui semble qu'un voile se déchire devant ses yeux et qu'il lit pour la première fois la Bible. Sa propre aventure s'éclaire à la lumière du destin grandiose de Moïse. Il comprend que le drame de Moïse, c'était son déchirement entre le Buisson ardent, symbole du sacré, de la voix de Yahweh, et les sources que ne cessent de lui réclamer les Hébreux pour leurs femmes, pour leurs enfants, leur bétail et leurs cultures. Un choix tragique s'impose entre la Source et le Buisson."
"Een Ierse dominee emigreert rond 1850 met zijn katholieke vrouw en kinderen naar Amerika, waar hij besluit van de westkust naar de oostkust te reizen."
