The people of God, the children of Israel or
Hebrews, were living in the land of Egypt.

When they first came to Egypt they were
shepherds, and took care of their flocks and
herds in a good, green land. But over many
years they became the servants of the
Egyptians and worked very hard.


They lived in Egypt for many years, and they
had many children, who grew up and had
children of their own, and those children grew
up and had children.


As time passed, there were so many Israelites
living in Egypt that the king of Egypt, called a
Pharaoh, became worried. He worried that his
Hebrew slaves would form and army and turn
against him.


Pharaoh thought of a plan to end his worry.
He said that no one who was Hebrew, the
Israelite people, was allowed to have a baby
boy. Only the girl babies could live. Many
families were sad.


At this time, there was a Hebrew family who
had a baby boy. The father, Amram!

!and the mother, Jochebed!already had
two older children, Aaron and Miriam.

When this baby boy was born, they knew it
was against the law to have a baby boy, but
they were not afraid of the kings law, and
they hid him from Pharaohs soldiers for three
months.

Place Aaron and Amram back in the tray.





Take the small basket from the tray and place
the baby Moses in it by Jochebed. Cover the
basket with the lid.


Move Jochebed, Miriam and the baby-filled
basket to the rivers edge and nestle it by the
plants, totally on the felt.

Move Miriam behind the plants. Place
Jochebed back in the tray.



Present Pharaohs daughter and the two
servants. Move them from close to the
children further up the bank to where the baby
is, on the edge of the felt.



Move one of the servants to the basket


!and move them both back.


Open the basket and lay the baby in her arms.





Move Miriam beside Pharaohs daughter.



Move Miriam away, towards you, then take
Jochebed from the tray and move them both
through the sand to the Egyptian group with
baby.

Place baby Moses beside Jochebed.
Its very hard to hide a baby that long,
because babies cry and are noisy. Someone
might come and find out that their crying baby
was not a baby girl.

Finally, when they could hide him no longer,
Jochebed made a basket and covered it in
pitch to make it waterproof, and laid her
precious baby boy inside.


Then she took the baby in the basket down to
the river and laid it carefully to float among the
bulrush reeds by the river bank and rock the
baby peacefully. The babys sister, Miriam,
stayed to watch over him, hiding behind the
reeds.


While the basket was floating there,
Pharaohs daughter came down to the river to
bathe.


She noticed something among the reeds on
the bank and told one of her servants to bring
it to her.

The servant found the basket, and brought it
to the princess.

When Pharaohs daughter opened the basket
and saw the baby, she knew it was one of the
Hebrew babies. And even though it was
against her fathers law, she wanted to keep
the baby.

Miriam left her hiding place and came to
Pharaohs daughter and asked Should I go
find someone to nurse and care for the baby?
Yes, go, said Pharaohs daughter.

Miriam went and got her own mother and
brought her to the princess. Take this child
and nurse him for me. I will pay you to care for
him.

So Jochebed cared for her baby boy and
when he grew she took him to Pharaohs
daughter, who called his name Moses,
because she took him out of the water.
