Moses - Man or Myth? - Adopted Into Pharaoh's Household

 The fate of Jochebed's infant was not left to chance. She "put - [the ark] among the reeds by the bank of the Nile River." This was likely a spot where she hoped it might be discovered. Here Pharaoh's daughter came to bathe, perhaps regularly. - EXODUS 2:2, 4.

Note: Jochebed had her daughter Miriam to watch over the baby until it was discovered by someone, which was Pharaoh's daughter.

The tiny ark was quickly spotted.  "When [Pharaoh's daughter] opened it she got to see the child, and here the boy was weeping. At that she felt compassion for him, although she said: 'This is one of the children of the Hebrews."' The Egyptian princess thus decided to adopt him. Whatever name his parents had originally called him is long forgotten.

Today he is known the world over by the name his adoptive mother gave him-Moses. - EXODUS 2:5-10.
