Working in Egypt
At the close of the book of Genesis Joseph dies at 110 years of age in the land of Egypt. His descendants and the other descendents of Jacob continue to live in the land of Egypt in favor with the Pharaoh and all Egyptians. When the book of Exodus opens the descendants of Jacob have multiplied over the years until they are a mighty nation. Now a new King arose who did not know Joseph and who feared the great number of the sons of Israel. He sent the sons of Israel into the land of Goshen into the bondage of slavery. The Egyptians compelled the sons of Israel to work hard and they made their lives bitter.
Pharaoh ordered by Hebrews boys killed at birth.
The king was so afraid of the might of the sons of Israel that he ordered only girl babies of the Hebrews be allowed to live. He ordered that all boy babies be killed. The mothers were very sad.
Jochebed makes a basket for Moses.
A Hebrew woman who had a daughter named Miriam had a son and she hid him from the Egyptians for three months. When he became too big to hide any longer she made a wicker basket which she covered with tar and pitch.

Then she put the baby in it and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile. She left her daughter, Miriam, to watch from hiding what happened to the baby.

Miriam went to the Pharaoh's daughter and said, “May I go and get one of the Hebrew women to take care of the baby for you?” They princess said she could so Miriam ran home and got the real mother. So the baby was adopted by the Pharaoh's daughter, but was cared for by his real mother.
