Long, long ago, in Egypt, there was a very mean king who didn't like God's people, the Hebrews. He was so afraid they would grow strong that he gave a terrible command: all baby Hebrew boys should be thrown into the Nile River.

But, in one Hebrew family, a beautiful baby boy was born. His mother, Jochebed, looked at him, and her heart filled with love. She knew she had to protect him from the king's order.
