The birth and youth of Moses
Storyboard Text
- After this, Miriam took the basket and set it on the Nile River, hiding the basket in the reeds not to be seen by officers and other government officials. She was instructed by her mother to keep an eye on the baby.
- May the God of our ancestors be with you.
- As she approached the river she saw the basket and wondered what it was. When she opened the basket, to her surprise, she found the baby and pitied him.
- Oh gods, this is a baby of the Hebrews, but he will be mine.
- Miriam was standing close by and requested that her mother take care of the baby, and the pharaoh's daughter agreed to this.
- Yes child, bring her tome.
- May I summon a Hebrew woman that can take care of the baby?
- Nurse the baby and I will pay you.
- The daughter of the pharaoh came up with an agreement. She would pay Jochebed to take care of the baby until he grew older.
- My pleasure, your majesty!
- I will name you Moses because I drew you out of water.
- After the baby was nursed and taken care of, Jochebed took him to the pharaoh's daughter and she named him Moses, a Hebrew word meaning "drawing out of water".
