Soon the Egyptians went from preventive to proactive. They went about, killing the young Hebrew boys. But one baby boy was born at that time that was hidden from the Egyptians. That boy would come to called Moses.
Moses mother put him in a small, waterproof basket, and floated him down the Nile River, no doubt praying for God to take care of him. The baby was found by none other than the daughter
