== Summary ==

*A Hebrew family hides their newborn son, rather than allowing him to be drowned, as Pharaoh had commanded.

*They trust God; God honors their trust. Their baby boy will be raised by the daughter of the very king who had given the wicked command!

==Details and Comments==

*Pharaoh decrees that all Israelite baby boys are to be drowned.

*An Israelite family refuses to comply and hides their son.

*When he could not be hidden, they put him in a floating basket, among the reeds in the river.

*Pharaoh's daughter finds the baby, has compassion, spares the boy.

*This boy will eventually become the leader who delivers Israel out of Egypt!

==Scripture==

| Exo 2:5 Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her handmaid to get it.

Exo 2:6 She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."

Exo 2:7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?"

Exo 2:8 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." The maiden went and called the child's mother.

Exo 2:9 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages." The woman took the child, and nursed it.
| God blessed their trust in him. Not only would their son be spared, but they would be ''paid'' to raise him!

|-
| Exo 2:10 The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, and said, "Because I drew him out of the water."
| God providentially begins to prepare Moses' for his future calling. ''At this point in time, nobody realizes it!''
