Abandoned Floating Found Moses Nile Testament Waters
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the pivotal moment in the biblical story of Moses, the founding figure of the monotheistic Abrahamic faiths. The photograph depicts the young Moses, swaddled in reeds and cradled in the waters of the Nile River, as he is discovered by the daughter of Pharaoh. According to the Old Testament of the Bible, Moses' mother, Jochebed, was forced to abandon her newborn son due to a decree from Pharaoh ordering the deaths of all Hebrew male infants. In a desperate bid to save her child, she placed him in a basket among the reeds along the riverbank, hoping that he would be found and raised in the royal court. The serene expression on the princess's face as she gazes down at the infant Moses speaks volumes about the profound impact this chance discovery would have on the course of history. Moses would go on to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and receive the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai, laying the foundation for the Jewish faith and, ultimately, Christianity and Islam. This historical event, which took place around the 13th century BCE, continues to captivate the imagination and inspire countless works of art, literature, and music throughout the centuries. The image of Moses in the bulrushes remains a powerful symbol of hope, resilience, and divine intervention, reminding us of the transformative power of faith and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
