One of thirteen lithographs with scenes from Old Testament Biblical stories about Moses's life. The back of each card has a Bible lesson pertaining to the image on the front. Published by American Baptist Publication Society, 1900. Exodus 1, the pharaoh of Egypt, Ramesses II, had decreed that all the Hebrew boy babies were to be drowned at birth. In the 10 verses from Exodus 2, Yocheved, Moses' mother, hides her newborn for 3 months and then places her baby in a caulked wicker basket in the Nile River reeds. The baby's crying alerts one of the pharaoh's daughters, Bithiah, who takes the baby. Moses' sister Miriam watches in hiding, but comes out when it is clear the Bithiah is planning to keep the child. She asks Bithiah if she would like a Hebrew midwife. Thereafter, Jochebed was employed as the child's nurse. Moses grew up and was brought to Pharaoh's daughter and became her son and a younger brother to the future Pharaoh of Egypt. Moses would not be able to become Pharaoh because he was not the blood son of Bithiah, and he was the youngest. Moses was, according to the Hebrew Bible and Qur'an, a religious leader, lawgiver and prophet, to whom the authorship of the Torah is traditionally attributed. He is the most important prophet in Judaism and is also considered an important prophet in Christianity and Islam, as well as a number of other faiths.
