Biblical Chapter Episode Exodus Finding Hebrew Infant Israelites Moses Nile Pharaoh Rescued Verse
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a pivotal moment in the biblical story of Moses, as recounted in the Book of Exodus, Chapter 2, Verse 5. In this ancient scene, the infant Moses, a Hebrew boy destined to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, is being rescued from the Nile River. The baby, placed in a basket among the reeds, has been discovered by the daughter of Pharaoh, Bithia or Bithiah, who is intrigued by his beauty and compassionately decides to raise him as her own. The Egyptian princess is shown here in regal attire, cradling the basket in her arms, while her attendants look on in awe. The landscape in the background reveals the rich, fertile lands of Egypt, contrasting with the humble setting of the Nile's banks. This episode from the Hebrew Bible, a foundational text in Western civilization, has been beautifully rendered in this intricately detailed engraving, offering a glimpse into the antiquity of this timeless story.
