In an effort to save my life, my biological mother placed me in a basket and sent me sailing down the Nile. Along came a princess of Egypt, who drew me out of the water and adopted me. Do you know the names of these two women whom I called mother? One was a slave and the other a princess whose name is known only from tradition.
Jochebed and Bithiah
Pharaoh, king of Egypt, commanded the midwives to kill all Hebrew male babies. So Jochebed, the biological mother of Moses, sent him floating on the river, in the hope that someone would save him.

Both mothers had a great influence on him: one raised him to be a king and the other taught him to be an advocate for the needy. With such exposure to the feelings of the rich and the poor, it isn't a wonder that God chose him to lead His children, the nation of Israel, out of bondage.
