Older than Moses, is all I can tell from scripture!
The Miriam that is mentioned in the Bible is the sister of Aaron and Moses. She is the person that put her brother in the water, so that he wouldnâ??t be killed.
It was his mother Jochebed.
The mother of Moses put him in a basket, and out him in the river Nile.
No. The basket in the Nile story is associated with Moses. After the birth of Moses, his sister Miriam placed him in a reed basket and sent him up the Nile, hoping he would find a better life than he would have with their family. He was found by the pharaoh's daughter, and he was raised as a royal son. Moses was born centuries before Jesus.
Moses mother made a basket and put it in the river Nile with the baby in it.
Moses was found in the river Nile.(Exodus 2:2-5)
Moses was born to a family of Israelites in a time when the Pharoah of Egypt had ordered every Israelite baby boy to be killed. To save him, Moses's mother and sister Miriam wove a basket, put Moses in, and sent it down the Nile. Miriam followed the basket until it was carried by the Nile into the Pharoah's palace. There, a princess found the boy, and loved him instantly. After this point there are two variations of the tale. The first is that the Princess already had a son (Ramases), but decided to raise Moses as well, and the second variation is that Miriam asked the Princess if she wanted someone to feed the baby. The Princess agreed and Miriam fetched her mother. The Princess asked Moses' mother to care for him until he was old enough to live in the palace with her.Not exactly. The Biblical Narritive (found in Exodus), agrees with the above answer until the suggestion that there's "two variations" of the story. The princess named the baby "Moses" herself, and allowed Miriam to take the child back to a Hebrew for rearing until he was of age (all found in Scripture). Where exactly Ramasees comes into play is a mystery.
no one really knows how Moses grew up, we just know that his mother put him in a basket, and put the basket in the river. the river took him to Pharoah's daughter, and later he, with God's help, delivered the Isrealites from Egypt.
One of Pharaoh's daughter's came down to bathe in the river and found baby Moses floating in a basket in Exodus 2:1-10. The Pharaoh was the King of Egypt, which was the superpower at the time. Some historians believe Queen Hatsheput (1501-1482 BC), daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I, was the princess that found and adopted Moses.
She didn't want him killed by the king and he was found by someone and raised up
Moses was approximately three months old. == 1And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. 2And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.3And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
The basket that Moses was put into was referred to as an ARK.
