The Birth of Moses
Exodus chapter 2 verses 1-10 (Message Bible)
“A Hebrew man from the family of Levi married a Levite woman. They had a son. When his mother saw there was something special about him, she hid him. (He was hidden from danger) for 3 months, but when they couldn’t hide him any longer, she got a little basket boat made of papyrus, waterproofed it with tar and pitch and placed her baby in it. Then she set it afloat in the reeds at the edge of the river Nile.
The baby’s older sister Miriam found herself a vantage point a little way off and watched to see what would happen to him. Pharaoh’s (the king of Egypt) daughter came down to the Nile to bathe, her maidens strolled on the banks. She saw the basket boat floating in the reeds and sent her maid to get it. She opened it and saw the child – a baby crying! Her heart went out to him. She said “This must be one of the Hebrew babies”.
Then his sister was before her “Do you want me to go and get a nursing mother from the Hebrews so she can nurse the baby for you. Pharaoh’s daughter said “Yes, go”. The girl went and called the child’s mother. Pharaoh’s daughter told her “Take this baby and nurse him for me. I’ll pay you”. The woman took the child and nursed him.
After the child was weaned, she presented him to Pharaoh’s daughter who adopted him as her son. She named him Moses (Pulled-Out) saying
“I pulled him out of the water).”
