The answer is: Pharaoh's daughter

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

In the story of Moses, there’s brave courage hidden within the gentle heart of Pharaoh’s daughter. Imagine that scene: a royal woman, perhaps draped in fine linens, strolling by the water, when she notices something odd bobbing in the river. Instead of turning away, fearing it might belong to the oppressed Hebrew slaves, she wades in and emerges with the crying baby destined to be a tumultuous leader. This act set the stage for the story of liberation and hope that would ripple through generations.

The name "Moses" itself, meaning "drawn out," speaks volumes. It not only reflects his physical emergence from the water but symbolically represents his future contributions to the liberation of his people. It’s fascinating how this event echoes throughout history, pointing to similar themes of rescue and salvation.

Interestingly enough, Statues of Moses often depict him with horns, a misunderstanding stemming from a translation issue with the Hebrew word "qaran," which means to 'shine'— leading to the depiction of horns (think of the famous Michelangelo statue). Plus, zip forward in the story, and you'll find Moses issuing commandments that speak of justice and compassion—a remarkable trait in a time when laws were often harsh.

From the bulrushes to the borders of a promised land, the journey begins with an unlikely hero and an act of profound compassion, emphasizing the interconnected tales of ordinary and extraordinary events throughout scripture!
