The Egyptian Pharoh ordered Jewish males to be killed as he was afraid they would grow up and help his enemies. Moses' mother hid him in a basket and put him in the river. He was found by the Egyptians and was adopted into their family. Eventually, Moses led his people across the Red Sea and received the ten commandments.
