Joseph to Moses
JOSEPH SAVES HIS FAMILY BY MOVING THEM TO EGYPT
MOSES IS BORN IN EGYPT AND SAVES THE ISRAELITES FROM EGYPT
After Joseph rescued his family from the great famine and situated them in the land of Goshen (in Egypt), the descendants of Abraham lived in peace for several generations until there rose to power in Egypt a pharaoh who “did not know Joseph” (Exodus 1:8).
This pharaoh subjugated the Hebrew people and used them as slaves for his massive building projects.
Because God blessed the Hebrew people with rapid numeric growth,
the Egyptians began to fear the increasing number of Jews living in their land.
So, Pharaoh ordered the death of all male children born to Hebrew women (Exodus 1:22).
In Exodus 2, we see Moses’ mother attempting to save her child by placing him in a basket and putting it into the Nile.
The basket was eventually found by Pharaoh’s daughter,
and she adopted him as her own and raised him in the palace of the pharaoh himself.
