Bible Lessons
I. (1) When Moses was born, King Pharaoh of Egypt had ordered that all the new-born baby-boys should be killed, and Moses’ mother hid him for three months and at last he grew so big that when he cried he would be heard. So his mother made him a basket of bulrushes and put him in it in the water. And she plastered it together so that the water would not get in. And when Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe, her servants walked along by the river, and when she saw the basket in the river, she asked her maid to bring it to her. And when she opened the basket she saw the baby in it, and she said that this was one of the Hebrews’ children. Then the baby’s sister came and asked Pharaoh’s daughter if she would get a nurse for the baby, and Pharaoh’s daughter said ‘Yes.’ And she brought a Hebrew woman, and it was the child’s mother. And Pharaoh’s daughter said that she would call him Moses, because she drew him out of the water. Then Pharaoh’s daughter gave the baby to his mother, and she took him home and nursed him and she taught him to be good. And then when he was pretty old he was taken to the palace and there he got a very good education.
