Pharoah's daughters and handmaidens find Moses whilst they are washing at the river. According to the biblical story, the Egyptian Pharoah ordered all newborn Hebrew males to be put to death. Moses's mother made a basket from bulrushes and put him in it and laid it in the reeds of the Nile's riverbank. When he was found, recognising him as a Hebrew child, the women sought a nurse for him. Moses's sister, who had been watching nearby, was able to return him to his mother.
