Baby Moses

We just learned about the Joseph's Family Comes to Egypt.

Another story from the Bible is about Baby Moses.

After Joseph died, there was a new Pharoah in Egypt that did not like God's people the Hebrews.
He gave the order to kill any baby boy that was born.

One day a mother had a baby boy she named Moses and was afraid that he would get killed, so she put him in a little basket and set him in the Nile river to hide him.
Pharaoh's daughter found Moses and cared for him, and called on a Hebrew helper to take care of him.

The Hebrew helper went and found Moses' mother and she got to raise him without the Pharaoh knowing it was her baby.
