Description
Who was daughter of Pharaoh?
The daughter of Pharaoh, unnamed in the biblical text, played a significant role in the early life of Moses. When Moses was born, his mother hid him for three months to protect him from Pharaoh's decree to kill all Hebrew male infants. When she could no longer hide him, she placed him in a basket and set it among the reeds of the Nile River. Pharaoh's daughter discovered the basket while bathing in the Nile and recognized the child as a Hebrew. Moses' sister Miriam, who was watching nearby, offered to find a Hebrew woman to nurse the child, and Pharaoh's daughter agreed. Miriam brought Moses' mother, who was then hired by Pharaoh's daughter to nurse the child. When Moses grew older, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him as her son and named him Moses, saying, "Because I drew him out of the water" (Exo.2.5-10). This event set the stage for Moses' upbringing in the Egyptian royal court and his eventual role as the deliverer of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
