BABY MOSES Exodus 1 v 8-22 & 2 v 1-10

THE WORD IN PICTURES

Exodus 1 v 12-13But despite their poor treatment the Israelites grew stronger and more numerous.

Tough slave masters made them build the cities of Pithom and Rameses.

Exodus 1 v 14So the Egyptians brutally forced them to work even harder.

Exodus 1 v 15The two midwives who helped Hebrew women deliver their babies were called Shiphrah and Puah.

Exodus 1 v 11So the Egyptians forced the Israelites to become their slaves.

Exodus 1 v 18-19Pharaoh summoned the midwives to ask why the baby boys were not killed.The excuse they gave was that the Hebrew women were giving birth to baby boys before they had time to get to them.

Exodus 1 v 17But the midwives obeyed God rather than Pharaoh and let the baby boys live.

Exodus 1 v 22 So Pharaoh gave orders to his people that every baby boy born to a Hebrew woman must be thrown in the River Nile.

Exodus 2 v 1When a Hebrew man and wife from the tribe of Levi had a baby boy they hid him away from the Egyptians for three months.

She put the baby in the basket and carried it down to the River Nile. Her young daughter Miriam helped her.

Exodus 1 v 3So his mother came up with an idea to keep her baby out of sight. She got a basket made from papyrus leaves and covered it in tar and pitch to make it waterproof.

Exodus 1 v 4 She hid the basket in tall bulrushes by the side of the river. Miriam kept watch over the baby from a distance.

Exodus 1 v 5 Unexpectedly Pharoah’s daughter came down to the river to bathe. She spotted the basket and sent one of her attendants to fetch it.

Exodus 1 v 2But as the baby grew older it became harder to keep him hidden.

Miriam ran to get her mother. ‘Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you,’ said the Princess.

Exodus 2 v 7Miriam, who had been watching, came up to the Princess. ‘Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?’ she asked.‘Yes,’ replied the princess.

So the mother looked after her child until he was old enough to be taken to the Princess where he was brought up as her son.

She named him Moses, (an Egyptian word meaning ‘drawn out’).‘I drew him out of the water,’she told everyone.
