- 1. The Birth of Moses is a pivotal moment in biblical history, set against the backdrop of ancient Egypt, where the Israelites faced oppression and enslavement. The story begins with the Hebrews multiplying in numbers, prompting Pharaoh to fear their potential power. In an attempt to control the population, he decreed that all newborn Hebrew boys were to be thrown into the Nile River. Amidst this backdrop of fear and desperation, a Levite couple, Jochebed and Amram, gave birth to a son. Recognizing the child’s extraordinary qualities and the imminent danger he faced, Jochebed hid him for three months. When it became impossible to conceal him any longer, she ingeniously crafted a waterproof basket, lined it with tar and pitch, and placed the baby within, setting the basket afloat in the reeds along the riverbank. It was here that Moses was discovered by Pharaoh’s daughter, who, moved by compassion, took him in as her own despite his Hebrew heritage. Consequently, Moses grew up in the royal household of Egypt, blissfully unaware of the turmoil of his people, yet destined to become their liberator. This miraculous survival and his eventual rise to leadership underscore themes of faith, divine providence, and the struggle for freedom.
