dramatization of moses life

 moses led jews out of egypt. what was his story?

chapter 1 moses birth

on a hot nyt, Moses was born like a miracle in less than one hour. that nyt his parents hid him [2.2] in a basket [2.3] covered with clay beside the river because of a decree: "all the males born, throw into the river [1.22] to drown to death." see endnote. His sister stayd n watched from far.

that morning the princess [2.5 the dautr of pharo but no name to show none of the pharos just a lesson fable] came to bathe. she heard crying [2.6] so she sent her maid to bring the basket [2.5]. She opened it and saw the baby. his sister asked princess, “will I bring a milk lady to feed the baby?” 

"go,” she answered. she did that and led their mother. princess ordered her, “feed this baby for me, and I will pay you [pay a slave? maybe before slavery and the order was bad].” she obeyed and took the baby home. he stopped milk so she took him to princess.

then the king decreed slavery. slave masters oppressed israel to build cities using brick and mortar. they made israel bitter with difficult labor and with all kinds of work in the fields. Egyptians harshly made them work. Moses grew to age 40 n came to see the suffering. He saw an egyptian beating a hebrew. he thout the hebrew would die.

Moses saved his life by killing the egyptian. then he fled out of the country to midian. he worked as a sheperd. Moses awoke early. he milked a few goats and carefully cooked hard oats in the fresh goat milk for breakfast for his young wife and their two sons, while they got dressed. then the boys sat with ma who was showing the boys how to read. 

moses left and askd the sheep gard. "how is your family?" 

"my parents are still very ill" answerd the gard. moses led his family's sheep [3.1] away from home n up a low grassy mountain. the herd climbed easily each sheep on 4 legs but he had trouble and almost fell, if not for his wooden staff. near the top he saw a blazing flame. in his dream: a fire, red and gold was burning on a thorn bush but did not burn it down. 

he *thout it must be burning down so he neard to look closely at the wood to see if it was burning down. he realized it was god's angel that had appeared there, it was not a fire. moses bowed down to god. 

chapter 2 437 -60

t.b.c.

endnote: before moses was born his mother was pregnant and was a slave so the slave driver saw she was pregnant. she knew she would get noticed when she gave birth she will get thinner! for saving the baby they dug under their floor for an hour each nyt so they can hide the baby while they were slaves during the day. in a few months they had a room underground.

on a hot nyt, her birthing started. this was not her first birth and like a miracle he was born in less than one hour. they hid him in the room underground and fed him. in the morning they sent the toddlers 3 year old n 4 year old to scool and came to the slavery job. the slave driver asked what happened to the pregnancy?" uh oh!

for saving his life she lied that he died. while she worked as a slave, they searched the home in case she lied but miraculously did not find the hidden door to the room underground. but they heard the baby cry and dug and found him the end. okay that did not work. moses was born before the decree of slavery.

the decrees were :

a new Egyptian king said, “the Israelite nation are many.  they will increase. if a war starts they will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country [1.10]. bring me the Hebrew birth nurses." when they came he ordered, “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth, if the baby is a boy, kill him [1.16 so they think it died during birth].” 

They feared God so the boys lived. king summoned the nurses and asked them, “Why have you let the boys live?” They answered Pharaoh, “Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive.” so king decreed to egyptians to drown every Hebrew boy that is born. 

only later did the king decree slavery written out of order in 1.11. slaves less than 80 years. or at the time of the search moses was sleeping and did not cry until after they left.
