Jochebed
Jochebed
1 Now a man from the house of Levi went and took as his wife a Levite woman.
Amram (father) and Jochebed (mother)
Tribe of Levi
Faith is understood in this text.
2 The woman conceived and bore a son, and when she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.
Pharoah had ordered all males be killed at child birth
Jesus and Herod
3 When she could hide him no longer, she took for him a basket made of bulrushes and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and placed it among the reeds by the river bank.
In order to save Moses, Jochebed had to send him away
The safest place for your child is in God’s hands.
The same is true for our souls.
9 When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10 Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. 11 But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” 12 He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 So Abraham called the name of that place, “The Lord will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”
The greatest provider for your family has always and will always be God.
This baby was the man God chose to deliver Israel, his chosen people.
Proverbs 22:6 “6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
4 And his sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him.
Miriam followed Moses.
5 Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her young women walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her servant woman, and she took it.
6 When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby was crying. She took pity on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
Pharoah’s daughter had compassion.
Disregarded her father’s command.
7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?”
And the Oscar goes to Miriam.
8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” So the girl went and called the child’s mother.
9 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.
When we can’t see a way, God is faithful and provides a way.
10 When the child grew older, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, “Because,” she said, “I drew him out of the water.”
Jochebed gave Moses away twice.
Pharoah’s daughter cared for Moses even though he was not her child.
Moses- to draw out. God draws us out of our sin.
