The answer is: Pharaoh's daughter

Exo 2:5-10 - Called Moses because he was "drawn" out of water.

When we think about the story of Moses being found in that tiny ark of bulrushes, it’s like a scene plucked straight from an adventure tale! Pharaoh's daughter, who shows remarkable compassion, finds him while taking a bath in the Nile — a place that serves dual purposes as both a source of life and, ironically, the waters of destruction for Hebrew babies. Can you imagine the surprise on her face! She saw a vulnerable baby and immediately felt a connection, highlighting the unexpected heroism that can emerge in such dire situations.

In giving Moses his name, which means "drawn out," we catch a glimpse of ancient reflections across biblical themes, from salvation to birth and redemption. Names in the Bible are hugely significant, often reflecting the essence or the destiny of the individual. This early moment foreshadows Moses’ role in leading his people out of slavery.

As for trivia, did you know that the Nile itself was believed to be a deity? The Egyptians revered it immensely, and there’s Moses swimming right in the heart of that culture, destined to be their greatest liberator. Speaking of parallels, the infant Moses being hidden to avoid Pharaoh's decree almost echoes the story of Jesus, where Herod issues a similar decree against newborns.

Moses, hidden yet chosen, becomes a remarkable symbol of deliverance, reminding us that even the smallest acts of love can ripple through history, creating waves of change!
