Miriam Βλέποντας το μωρό στο Καλάθι

Miriam watches over the infant Moses as he lies in a woven basket set among the reeds of the Nile. The child rests near the riverbank, surrounded by tall papyrus and quiet water, while a Hebrew woman walks away in the distance after entrusting the baby to God’s care. The scene portrays the tender and dangerous moment from Exodus 2, when Moses’ mother hides him in a pitch-covered basket to save him from Pharaoh’s decree, and his sister stands nearby to see what will happen to him. The image emphasizes providence, courage, and faithful guardianship: before Moses becomes Israel’s deliverer, God preserves him through the obedience of his family and the watchful presence of his sister. Useful for teaching materials, children’s Bible lessons, Exodus studies, women of the Bible themes, and sermons on God’s protection in hidden beginnings.
