Whatever Happened to Baby Moses?—Edie

Moses was the lucky son of a woman clever enough to be a marine engineer. She designed a papyrus basket, sealed it with tar and pitch, then hid her three-month-old baby inside and placed him among the reeds of the Nile. According to plan, the daughter of the pharaoh (who had vowed to kill all Hebrew boys) heard the baby’s cries and adopted him. Somehow, the aged ruler was too addled to figure out his identity. That came back to bite Ramses in the asp when Moses grew up and led his enslaved people to freedom in the exodus.

This serigraph depicts the prophet Moses as a baby, floating down the Nile in a makeshift boat created by his mother, to escape the impending slaughter of Hebrew children.
