women of the Bible: Jochebed

women of the Bible: Jochebed by ric Gustafson


Jochebed was born in captivity in Egypt. Pharaoh ordered that all Hebrew boys be put to death as soon as they were born. Then she gave birth to a baby boy. She had older children named Aaron and Miriam. Jochebed knew she had to do something drastic. She made a waterproof basket, put the baby inside and pushed the basket down the reeds of the Nile. Just then, Pharaoh's daughter came out to bathe. She found the basket and the baby. She decided to keep the baby. Miriam watched the baby.
The baby was named Moses. He was raised by the Egyptian royal family.
Later, Moses led the people to the Promised Land.
God wants us to be bold, take risks, trust and follow him.
