How did Moses became prince of Egypt?

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.

Who put Moses on the bulrushes?

Amram, a descendant of Kohath, son of Levi, had espoused Jochebed, who was also of the tribe of Levi; and they had already two children, a daughter called Miriam (the same name as the Mary of the New Testament), and a son named Aaron. Another son was born soon after the king's edict. With maternal fondness, increased by the boy's beauty, and in faith (as it seems) on a prophetic intimation of his destiny, his mother hid him for three months (Book of Exodus, 2, vs 1-2 and Letter to the Hebrews, 11, vs. 23). When concealment was no longer possible, Jochebed prepared a covered basket of papyrus [apparently the bulrushes as translated in many Bibles] daubed with bitumen [clay and tar] to make it watertight, and placed it among the rushes on the banks of the Nile, or one of the canals. (cited from Old Testament History, by William Smith, LLD, revised by Wilbur Fields, College Press, Joplin, Missouri, 1983) The name of the mother of Moses is not given in the Bible, but reference to the name Jochebed is given in the Jewish Knowledge Base Chabad.org.
