The Pharaoh's Daughter Finds Moses
Egypt greatly oppressed the nation of Israel with harsh labor. In an attempt to curb the nation’s growth, Pharoah ordered all the newborn baby boys to be drowned in the Nile River.
In a brave attempt to evade this decree, Yocheved, Moses’ mother, put her son into a waterproofed basket and placed him in the Nile. There, Pharoah’s daughter found the boy, took pity on him and adopted him as her own. She called him Moses or Moshe in Hebrew, which means drawn from the water.
