The Bible details the birth of Moses in Exodus 2, showing God's providential care in his early life amid adversity.
Exodus 2 recounts the remarkable story of Moses' birth and preservation by his parents during a time when Pharaoh ordered the death of Hebrew male infants. The narrative emphasizes the faith of Moses' parents, who hid him for three months and then placed him in an ark of bulrushes, trusting him to the Lord. This act of faith is recognized in Hebrews 11:23, where Moses is noted for his goodly appearance, indicating divine favor. The life of Moses is a testament to God's sovereignty and providence in the midst of danger, serving as a precursor to God's ultimate deliverance of Israel from bondage in Egypt.
