He was born in ancient Egypt in the town of Goshen. Just before his birth, Pharaoh had ordered that all male Hebrew infants be put to death. Moses'' mother placed him in a basket made of papyrus and set it floating on the Nile, where it was found by Pharaoh''s daughter, who raised Moses as her own child.
