Summary

When Pharaoh ordered all Hebrew baby boys to be killed, Moses' mother hid him, then placed him in a basket on the Nile to save his life. Through his sister's courage and even Pharaoh's own daughter's compassion, God protected Moses and placed him right in the household of the very king who sought to destroy him.
