Exodus 1-2

There is no way to miss the sorrow surrounding Moses' birth. Though he was a special child the command of death loomed over him. How many baby boys had already died? How many mothers wailed daily over their son's murder. The threat of violence against the innocent would have been oppressive to the people. I'm sure that many families had tried many different ways to save their sons. But how many of them put them in a floating basket? Jachabed did and saw his son's life not only saved, but he was elevated to the same level that Joseph had been. Indeed he was a special child.
