The Moses Birth Event

It's great to have you back again with us at Daily Bread as today we look at another very well known story about the birth of Moses in the Bible.

Our setting of the birth of Moses in the Bible is in Egypt, where at the time, the children of Israel were slaves because the Pharaoh was afraid of how strong of a people the Hebrews were becoming in Egypt. He ordered every Hebrew son that was born to be thrown into the river. But for one baby boy, things turned out a little differently.

There was a man from the tribe of Levi, who married a woman from the tribe of Levi. She had a son and when she saw that he was a beautiful baby, she hid him for three months. When she couldn't hide him any longer, she made a basket and put the baby in it among the reeds by the river bank. His sister Miriam stood out of sight watching to see what would happen to him.

Then Pharaoh's daughter came down to the river with her maidens and when she saw the basket, she sent a maid to get it. When she opened it, she saw a crying baby boy, and she pitied him, saying, This is one of the Hebrews' children.

The Moses Birth Miracle

Miriam was very quick and said to Pharaoh's daughter, Should I go and get a Hebrew woman that can nurse the baby for you? And Pharaoh's daughter said, Go, so Miriam went and got her mother. Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take the baby away and nurse it for me and I will pay you, so she took the baby.

The child grew and was brought to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son. Because she took him out of the water, she named him Moses, which means, Drawn forth.

When Moses was grown, he saw his people and their affliction. One day he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew. Moses looked around and when nobody was in sight, he killed the Egyptian and buried him in the sand.

The next day, two Hebrew men were fighting with one another and Moses said to the one who did wrong, Why did you hit your friend? The man said, Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me like you killed the Egyptian?

Moses was afraid because what he did was known. When Pharaoh heard about it, he planned to kill Moses, but Moses left and came to the land of Midian. He sat down by a well.

The Moses Birth Was an Answered Prayer

The priest of Midian had seven daughters and they came to the well to water their father's flock. When they returned home soon, Jethro, their father asked, Why are you back so early today? They answered, An Egyptian saved us from the shepherds and watered the flock too.

Jethro sent them back to get Moses to eat with them. Moses was happy to stay with Jethro, and he gave Moses his daughter Zipporah for a wife. They had a son, and they named him Gershom, which means, A stranger here, because Moses said, I've been a stranger in a strange land.

Years passed and the Pharaoh died. The children of Israel were weary of the slavery and when they cried, God heard them. He remembered his promise with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and God was concerned about them.
