The history of Moses. Naturally. Divides
itself into three periods of 40 years each. Moses was born at Goshen, in
Egypt, B.C. 1571.
The story of his birth is thoroughly Egyptian in its scene.
His mother made extraordinary efforts for his preservation, from the
general destruction, of the male children of
Israel. |

For three months, the child was concealed in the house. Then, his
mother placed him in a small boat or basket of papyrus, closed against the
water by bitumen. This was placed among the aquatic vegetation, by the

brother's fate. |

The Egyptian princess, who, tradition says, was a childless wife, came
down to bathe in the sacred river. Her attendant slaves followed her. She
saw the basket in the flags, and despatched divers, who brought it. It was
opened, and the cry of the child moved the princess to compassion. She
determined to rear it as her own. |

The sister was at hand to recommend a Hebrew nurse, the child's own
mother.Here was the first part of Moses' training, --
a training, at home, in the true religion, in faith in God, in the
promises to his nation, in the life of a saint, -- a training which he
never forgot, even amid the splendors and gilded sin of Pharaoh's
court. |

The child was adopted by the princess.
From this time, for many years, Moses must be considered as an
Egyptian. In the Pentateuch, this period is a blank, but in the New
Testament, he is represented as "learned in all the wisdom of the
Egyptians," and as "mighty in words and deeds;" Act_7:22; |

Seeing the sufferings of his people, Moses determined to go to them as
their helper, and made his great life-choice, "choosing rather to suffer
affliction, with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for
a season; esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the
treasures in Egypt." Heb_11:25-26. |

years. |
