CHAPTERS 1 & 2

Now the Israelites were fruitful and multiplied greatly and became exceedingly numerous. Then a new king said to his people, “The Israelites have become much too numerous for us.” So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor and worked them ruthlessly.

Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Every boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live.”

Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She hid him for three months. But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her slave girl to get it. She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said.

Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?”

“Yes, go,” she answered. And the girl went and got the baby’s mother. Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him.

When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses.

Excellent! So many great paintings, poignant the expression of the mother in #5 by Tiranov...sorrow, fear, determination.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Cannot even imagine being in her position....

[Red Badger]

And here all this time I thought it was Noah and His Ark!..............

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan!:-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Try to keep up, Red...................

[Red Badger]

I may be slow, but I’m sure!....................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Mary-Lou! Top o’ the mornin’ to ya, and the best o’ the rest o’ the day!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Just one of the many things I like about you................

[Scott from the Left Coast]

#3, 6 and 7 as well…and #13-15 on the other side of the handoff - very well imagined.

[SisterK]

I do not know why, but I am very drawn to the GIOVANNI FRANCESCO ROMANELLI. The color is very bold. The composition is very clean. The artist is a master at his craft.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I like it, too, but their gowns seem unrealistically Eurocentric for bathing Egyptians. It is at the very edge of what I would post—I omitted several works with blonde ladies in billowing silk ballgowns.

[SisterK]

I agree. Learning to look past the 16th century European clothing, Grecian architecture and numerous wardrobe malfunctions.

Thank you for another gallery tour.

[Hebrews 11:6]

You may eat and drink during my tours.
