THE BRTH OF MOSES
Exodus 2:1-10
"I don't care what that new King commanded" said Amran(Ex. 6:20) God has entrusted me us with two boys, (Aaron and Moses) we are not going to **** them."
"But Mom, I agree with you about not killing either of them, especially this last baby boy, but someone will turn you in
for not killing him" said her daughter
"I will nurse him as long as I can, then figure out something else to do after that" she replied.
Amram nursed him for three months, then made a FAITH decision to build an ark made of bulrushes, sealed it with pitch, and hid him in the flags by the rivers bank.
"Now I want you to go with him and hide yourself so no one can see you, but you can keep your eyes on him." said her mother.
It wasn't too many days after, that the Paroah's daughter came to the river to freshen up, and she saw the ark, and the baby was crying.
God's timing is always perfect. Just at the precise time that Pharoh's
daughter came to bath, God pinched Moses and made him cry.
"Oh what a cute little baby" she said to one of her maids. "Go and bring it to me. Oh what a little sweety!"
"Oh my! Is this your little baby? He sure is a cutie! exclaimed his big sister.
"No, he is not my baby. I think he is one of the Israelite boys. He is too cute to ****. My dad won't approve, but I am going to keep him and raise him as my son."
"I know a Hebrew nurse that would probably be glad to nurse him for you until you are able to care for him yourself! Would you like me to do that?"
Now Amram didn't raise any dumbings and so she brought her mother and introduced her to Pharaoh's daughter who made a verbal contract with her to rear him until she was able to care for him herself.
Remember Amram's FAITH DESICION? God not only protected
Moses from death, He made it so that his birth mother not only got to rear him until Pharoah's daughter could take over, but got paid for doing so
"Oh, I forgot to ask you what did you name him?" ask Amram
"Well, I drew him out of the river, so I will name him
