The New Baby Skit

About: A skit about the life Moses who Pharaoh’s daughter came
and took him away to raise him in the big palace where the king lived.
He lived there a long time until he grew up

Characters: Three narrators

N1: My mom had a baby?

N2: What do you mean? I thought you all just had a baby.

N1: She had another one. This one is a boy!

N2: What did she name it?

N1: Moses!

N2: Moses Mullins, Moses Mullins, Moses Mullins Moses…………

N1: Would you stop that!

N3: Hey! That reminds me of the baby Moses in the Bible.

N2: The WHAT?

N3: The Bible – God’s Word.

N2: Well, what about it?

N3: There was a family who had a baby and they named it……..

N2: Moses Mullins, Moses Mullins, Moses Mullins, Moses….

N1: Cut that out! He is cute, but he sure cries a lot. He wakes me up
every night.

N3: Baby Moses’ mother was a Levite woman and her parents were
also Levites.

N2: Soooo… this is Moses Levite, Moses Levite, Moses Levite,

Moses……

N1: STOP! You sound like a broken DVD player.

N3: Listen to this! When Moses was a baby his mother hid him for
three months.

N2: What for? Did he look like Ninja Turtle?

N3: Baby Moses was a fine child. She had to hide him from the King
to keep him safe. He wanted to kill all the baby boys.

N1: I bet that was tough. My baby brother screams his head off every
time we go to eat. It makes my mashed potatoes stick in my throat.
The king would sure hear him.

N2: Right!
N3: Moses’ mother realized that she could not hide him any longer.
She put him in a basket and set him out in the Nile River. Moses’ big
sister stood and watched to see what would happen.

N1: Was he in something like Noah’s ark?

N2: I bet it was probably one of those paddle boats.

N3: Along came Pharaoh’s daughter to wash in the river.

N2: Yuck! I do not even like to take a bath much less using dirty old
creek water.

N1: What did she see among the weeds out there?

N3: There among the reeds sat Baby Moses in the basket just as
quiet as can be.

N2. I can just imagine!

N3: Pharaoh’s daughter felt so sorry for Baby Moses when she
opened the basket and he gave out a wail.

N1: Just like my baby brother. I guess he was scared.

N2. Are you crazy! He was hot in there. When I sit in the car waiting
for my parents after church is over – they talk forever – I get hot as an
oven.

N3: Moses big sister ran over to Pharaoh’s daughter and asked her if
she could get a Hebrew nurse for the baby.

N1: Did she find one?

N2: Of course she did; there are nurseries all over the place. I used to
go to one when I was a toddler. It is still behind my house. Those kids
sure are noisy over there.

N3: Moses’ big sister found her mother and she offered to nurse her
own baby.
N1: Wow! That is cool!

N3: Later Pharaoh’s daughter came and took him away to raise him
in the big palace where the king lived. He lived there a long time until
he grew up. One day when he was adult, her saw an Egyptian
beating one of the Israelites. You see Moses was really an Israelite
by birth.

N1: What did he do?

N2: He used his karate tricks on him.

N3: He killed him!

N1 & N2: WHAT!

N3: That’s what I said. Then he hid the body in the sand,

N2. This is better than National Treasure!

N3: Someone else saw him do it and said, "Who made you ruler over
us”? Moses got scared and ran away to Midian because Pharaoh
wanted to kill him.

N2: What rating is this movie?

N1: You mean Bible story.

N3: In Midian, Moses met a priest named Reuel who had seven
daughters and a huge flock of sheep. One day When Moses was
sitting by a deep well, these seven daughters came to water their
flock. Moses ended up rescuing the daughters from the shepherds
who came along.

N1: I bet they were sure happy?

N2: Well, I’d like to have seen those shepherds. Were they the same
ones who saw the star in the West?
N21: You mean the East?

N3: Moses agreed to stay with Reuel and ended up marrying one of
the daughters whose name was Zipporah.

N1; I like weddings.

N2: They take too long especially when you see that mushy kissing
stuff.

N3: They had a good life and God blessed them with a son whom
they called “Gershom”.

N2. Baby Gershom, Baby Gershom, Baby Gershom, Baby…..

N1: Hey cut that out….will you!

N3: Gershom is a nice name that means’ I have become an alien in a

foreign land.

N2: Di you say alien? From what planet? Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Nep…….

N1: We’d better go before you really get any deeper in this.

N3: God was really good to rescue Baby Moses. He will rescue us
from harm and guide us as we read His Word and pray daily.

N2: So long; see you next time.
