From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Levite woman gives birth to a son and places him in the Nile to keep him safe from Pharaoh. Pharaoh's daughter discovers him while bathing, adopts him, and names him Moses. After Moses grows up, he kills an Egyptian who was abusing one of his people. When his crime is discovered, Moses flees to Midian where he meets a priest, Reuel, and his family. Moses marries his daughter, Zipporah, and she gives birth to Gershom.
