Moses in the basket


Some of you probably have heard the story of Moses. Some say he is a imaginary person, others say that he is real. I believe that he was a prophet of God.

After Joseph had died a new king came to rule Egypt. Also the new Pharaoh ( That is the name of the kings of Egypt ) did not knew Joseph, and was very mean. He soon realized that the Israelites were growing rapidly in number, and soon they would be able to take the kingdom. So he got really nasty, and ordered that every Hebrew baby be thrown into the river. Many babies lost their lives for the next long while. But there was one little boy that was not throne into the river, Moses. He had one brother and one sister. His poor mother tried to hide him, but that didn't last for long, and soon his parents could do nothing. So they put him in a basket, covered the holes, and set him in a river. He floated down stream a little ways, with his sister watching him. Soon the Pharaoh's daughter spotted him and sent someone to grab him. She saw Moses and fell in love with him. Then she realized that she had no way to feed the baby. That is when his sister came out of here hiding place, and told the Pharaoh's daughter that she knew a Hebrew nurse to feed Moses. So the Pharaoh's daughter gave Moses' mother, ( Who Moses' sister said was the nurse ) and Pharaoh's daughter paid here to feed little Moses. So in the end, his parents got to keep their son... for a temporary period.

That is not the end of Moses story, but I'm going to stop there. God stopped the death of a baby, and not for Moses sake, but for God's glory. We don't do things for our self, we do it for God. That is my conclusion for now. Thank you for reading. God bless!
