[[Moses]] was born to a [[Hebrew]] slave [[Jochebed]] during the first six years of the reign of [[Amenemhet III]] when | [[Moses]] was born to a [[Hebrew]] slave [[Jochebed]] during the first six years of the reign of [[Amenemhet III]] when Amenemhet III was co-reigning with his father [[Sesostris III]]. [[Amenemhet III]] (or mayby his father [[Sesostris III]]) ordered the Egyptian midwives to kill the male babies of the Hebrew slaves when they were born. The midwives resisted doing this. Moses was hidden by his sister Miriam amongst the reeds of the Nile in a basket only to be found by the pharaoh's daughter [[Sobekneferu]]. She being childless, adopted him and raised him in her own household, no doubt training him to be the next pharaoh [[Amenemhet IV]]. | ||
[[Sobekneferu]] is often listed as Amenemhet IVs sister and also his wife, but it seems to have been she who found [[Moses]] in the Nile River. It is known that she had no children, which may explain why [[Amenemhet III]] was willing to accept him as heir to the throne. But when [[Moses]] came of age and identified himself with the people of [[Israel]], he was forced to flee from Egypt, leaving way for [[Sobekneferu]] to take the throne. When Sobekneferu died the 12th dynasty ended and was succeeded by the 13th dynasty. | [[Sobekneferu]] is often listed as Amenemhet IVs sister and also his wife, but it seems to have been she who found [[Moses]] in the Nile River.
