{"product_id":"2940012769800","title":"The Children's Book About Moses","description":"Moses was born in the year of the world 2433. His parents lived in\u003cbr\u003eEgypt. Before his birth, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, being fearful of\u003cbr\u003etheir increase, had given orders to have every male infant of the\u003cbr\u003eHebrews murdered. The father and mother of Moses were Hebrews, and,\u003cbr\u003elike other parents, they loved their child too much to have him\u003cbr\u003einjured. Besides, they thought they saw something very promising in\u003cbr\u003ehis appearance, as if he would make a great and good man, if he were\u003cbr\u003erightly trained: they therefore kept him hid three months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen they could hide him no longer, his mother, Jochebed, made an ark\u003cbr\u003eor chest of bulrushes, and having pitched it that it might be water\u003cbr\u003eproof, she put Moses into it, and laid it near the banks of the river\u003cbr\u003eNile, and prayed to God for the safety of her child.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe had not lain long in this condition, when Pharaoh's daughter, coming\u003cbr\u003eto wash, observed the ark, and directed one of her maids to fetch it;\u003cbr\u003eand opening it, she found the child. She was struck with the beauty of\u003cbr\u003ethe babe, and was affected at its weeping; for the poor child cried,\u003cbr\u003ebeing separated from its mother: supposing it to be one of the Hebrews'\u003cbr\u003echildren, the princess resolved to bring it up as a child of her own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Illustration]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMiriam, the sister of Moses, then about ten or twelve years of age,\u003cbr\u003ewho waited near by, asked Pharaoh's daughter if she might not find a\u003cbr\u003enurse for her, and being allowed to do it, she called Jochebed, the\u003cbr\u003echild's mother. Thus her prayer was answered, and she had the care of\u003cbr\u003ethe child besides.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe was named _Moses_, which signifies being taken out of the water. He\u003cbr\u003ewas educated in all the learning of the Egyptians, and was treated in\u003cbr\u003eall respects as if he were the son of the princess.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter he became of age, while walking forth one day, he observed with\u003cbr\u003eindignation the oppression of his brethren; and seeing an Egyptian\u003cbr\u003esmiting a Hebrew, he became so excited, that he interfered, and killed\u003cbr\u003ethe Egyptian. Fearful of the consequences of this rash act, he fled\u003cbr\u003einto the land of Midian, where he became a shepherd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Moses led his flocks one day near to the north or west side of Mount\u003cbr\u003eSinai, the Lord appeared to him in a bush, burning but not consumed.\u003cbr\u003eMoses was astonished at the sight, and went near to see the miracle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Illustration]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd the Lord spoke to him out of the bush, and told him to put off his\u003cbr\u003eshoes before he came any nearer, as the spot was sacred on account of\u003cbr\u003ethe presence of God. We should never go into the presence of God, or\u003cbr\u003eengage in his worship, without being solemn and attentive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGod then declared himself to Moses to be the God of Abraham, Isaac,\u003cbr\u003eand Jacob, and told him that, on account of the promise he had made,\u003cbr\u003eand in view of what his oppressed people suffered from the cruel\u003cbr\u003eEgyptians, he now intended to deliver them, and bring them into\u003cbr\u003eCanaan, and would make Moses the instrument of this.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Hebrews, at the command of God, and under the direction of Moses,\u003cbr\u003eleft Egypt at last in great haste, and took their journey to the\u003cbr\u003esouth-east. Pharaoh and his people were soon sorry that they had\u003cbr\u003econsented to let them go, and followed with a great army to bring\u003cbr\u003ethem back, and nearly overtook them on the west side of the Red Sea.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121011081456,"sku":"2940012769800","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012769800_p0.jpg?v=1763572385","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012769800","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
