The Bible's description of the tiny ark Jochebed used likewise rings true. The Bible says that it was made of papyrus, which according to Cook's Commentary, "was commonly used by the Egyptians for light and swift boats."
Still, is it not hard to believe that a national leader would order the cold-blooded murder of infants? Scholar George Rawlinson reminds us: "Infanticide . . . prevailed widely at different times and places, and been regarded as a trivial matter." Indeed, one need not look far to find equally chilling examples of mass murder in modern times. The Bible account may be disturbing, it is all to0 credible.
