Abandoned Fortunately Found Moses Nile Pharaoh Rescued Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts the biblical story of Moses, an iconic figure in both ancient history and religious tradition. The image captures the moment when the infant Moses, floating in a basket on the Nile River, is discovered by the daughter of Pharaoh. According to the Old Testament of the Bible, Moses was born to Hebrew parents during a time when Pharaoh had ordered the mass slaughter of all Hebrew male infants in an attempt to suppress the growing Hebrew population. Unable to bear the thought of losing her own son, Moses' mother, Jochebed, devised a plan to save him. She built a basket from bulrushes, coated it with tar and pitch to make it watertight, and placed the baby in it, setting it adrift on the Nile. Fatefully, Pharaoh's daughter found the basket and, moved by compassion, took the child in as her own. She named him Moses, meaning 'saved from the water.' Raised in the royal court, Moses grew up unaware of his Hebrew heritage until he killed an Egyptian taskmaster who was oppressing a Hebrew slave. Fleeing Egypt to avoid being killed for his actions, Moses went on to lead the Israelites out of slavery and into the Promised Land. This powerful image of Moses' discovery in the Nile is a poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity for compassion, even in the most challenging of circumstances. It is a story that continues to inspire and captivate generations, and serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith and determination.
