Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers and rose to become the second in command over all of Egypt under the current Pharaoh, and with God's help, Joseph led the Egyptian people through a seven year famine. The Pharaoh was so pleased that he allowed Joseph's family to move to Egypt with him. But more on that and another story. Let's fast forward to our story for today. Years later, Joseph was gone and a new pharaoh was on the scene.

She built a basket to float him in the reeds of the Nile River. Her goal was at the basket would float him away to safety.

As Moses grew, he began to learn that he wasn't Egyptian like his adopted parents. But an Israelite years later upon visiting the Israelites, he witnessed a guard beating an Israelite slave he flared with anger. Stab it, you don't have to beat him to begin to fight. It ended with Moses killing the guard and hiding him in the sand believing no one saw he was wrong though. The Israelites so word got back to the Pharaoh.
