MOSES
"A basket made of bulrushes, and daubed it with bitumen and pitch; and she put the child in it and placed it among the reed at the river bank."# Amazingly, this is describing what a mother of three months was forced to do in order to keep her newborn child alive. Knowing that all Hebrew boys were slain at birth by the Pharaoh, this mother, as described in Exodus, was forced to keep her child in secrecy until she could no longer hide his cries. This child was called Moses. Hoping the young child would be found and cared for; she made a small basket for the child to float up the Nile in. To insure that the baby boy reached safety, the mother sent his sister to follow after him. As the young girl followed, they came across a Pharaoh's daughter bathing in the river.

Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. Now because of his refusal, God was forced to take away the greatest god - the sun.
