The Egyptians had decreed to kill all the newborn Israelite boys. Moses' mother hid him for three months (Exodus ch.2) in the house, but later found herself unable to do so (ibid). She then placed him in a waterproofed basket in the river bullrushes (ibid), in the hope that God would provide some form of rescue for him, and that is what happened.

At that time, Pharoah had issued a command to kill all of the male Hebrew boys. See Exodus chapters 1 and 2.
