Exo 2:5-10 - Called Moses because he was "drawn" out of water.
In the fascinating tale of Moses’ early life, we see a curious twist of fate that set the stage for one of the most impactful figures in the Biblical narrative. Picture it: a baby hidden away in an ark made from bulrushes, lying peacefully among the reeds of the Nile. Moses’ mother, Jochebed, took a calculated risk, and her faith in providence led to an extraordinary salvation. Would you believe that Moses ends up being rescued not by a midwife or his mother, but by Pharaoh’s very own daughter? How’s that for divine irony!
Pharaoh’s daughter, in a rather character-defining moment, defied her upbringing and cultural influences. She sought to show compassion rather than fear when she encountered the crying infant. Thus, the name "Moses"—“drawn out” of water—gives us a poignant hint of his destiny to urge a fashionable Egypt towards a significant change. He would be the one eventually to lead the Hebrews out of slavery.
This small passage holds wheels of history: out of this act of rescue comes an anticipation of liberation not just for Moses, but for an entire nation. Interestingly, the bronze serpent lifted by Moses in the wilderness invokes echoes from a myth continued later in traditions—the savior element. From floatable bulrushes to chronicled liberation, it’s fascinating to see how a simple act of kindness could lead not just to a notable leader, but to a cornerstone of faith in many enduring traditions. Such is the generous mystery of life stories that ripple through time!
