Moses was the son of [[Amram]] of the tribe of [[Levi]] and his wife [[Jochebed]]. After the reigning pharaoh had ordered all the Hebrew male babies to be drowned in the [[Nile]], Jochebed gave birth to Moses and kept him concealed. After a few months it was no longer practical to conceal Moses and so set him adrift in a small ark on the Nile. While [[Miriam]], Moses's sister watched from afar, one of the pharaoh's daughter's came to the river and seeing the child took him from the river and brought him to be raised in the pharoah's house.
