00:00Baby Moses

00:08A new pharaoh ruled over Egypt, where the Israelites were living.

00:15When he saw how many Israelites there were, he became afraid of their growing power.

00:21He warned his people that if war ever came, the Israelites might join Egypt's enemies and then

00:26leave the country. So the Egyptians forced the Israelites to become their slaves.

00:32Harsh slave masters made them build the cities of Pithom and Ramesses.

00:37But despite their harsh treatment, the Israelites grew stronger and more numerous.

00:42So the Egyptians made them work even harder. The two midwives who helped Hebrew women deliver

00:48their babies were named Shifra and Pua. Pharaoh summoned them and ordered that if a Hebrew woman

00:54gave birth to a baby boy, they must kill the child. Only baby girls could be allowed to live.

01:01But Shifra and Pua obeyed God instead of Pharaoh, and they allowed the baby boys to live.

01:07When Pharaoh called them again to ask why the boys were not being killed,

01:11the midwives explained that the Hebrew women were giving birth before they had time to arrive.

01:16So Pharaoh gave orders to all his people that every baby boy born to a Hebrew woman must be

01:22thrown into the river Nile. In that time, a Hebrew husband and wife from the tribe of Levi had a

01:28baby boy. They hid him from the Egyptians for three months, but as the baby grew older, it became harder

01:34to conceal him. So his mother came up with a plan to keep her baby safe. She made a basket of papyrus

01:42leaves and coated it with tar and pitch to make it waterproof. She gently placed the baby inside the

01:48basket and carried it down to the river Nile. Her young daughter Miriam went with her.

01:54They set the basket among the tall bulrushes by the riverbank, and Miriam watched from a distance to

02:00see what would happen to her little brother. Unexpectedly, Pharaoh's daughter came down to

02:05the river to bathe. She noticed the basket and sent one of her attendants to bring it to her.

02:10When she opened it and saw the crying baby, she felt compassion.

02:15This is one of the Hebrew babies, she said.

02:19Miriam quickly approached the princess.

02:22Should I get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?

02:26Yes, the princess replied.

02:29Miriam ran and returned with her mother.

02:32Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you, the princess said.

02:36So the mother cared for the child until he was old enough to be brought back to Pharaoh's daughter,

02:42where he was raised as her son.

02:44The princess named him Moses, which means, drawn out, saying, I drew him out of the water.
