Princess of Egypt finds Moses

 

Princess of Egypt finds Moses

Pharaoh had ordered all male Hebrew babies to be killed. This was a barbarous action. Jochabed was a Levite mother who wanted to save her baby boy. So she put him in a basket and set him into the River Nile. She certainly prayed for him, and God heard her prayers.

Moses' basket (with him alive and well inside) was found by the Princess of Egypt. She adopted Moses and raised him as her son. So Moses was highly educated and had every privilege of a Prince of Egypt. Moses went on to flee Egypt and return as the deliverer. He was an instrument in the hand of God to free the Children of Israel from Egyptian bondage. Of course, God had also heard the prayers of the Children of Israel.  So one lesson here is that God hears and answers prayers. 

In this drawing you can see part of a pillar and the bull rushes that line parts of the River Nile.
