Moses grows up to be an adult, living as a prince. After a night on the river, Pharaoh’s daughter discovers the basket and calls the child Moses, as she accepts it as her own. One Hebrew mother avoids the fate for her child and sets it down the river in a floating basket instead. Short of killing a bunch of them, Pharaoh thinks that he could overwork them and some would die, making them a lot more manageable, but when that plan fails, he decides to order the immediate drowning of all Hebrew male children in the Nile. He concerns himself with the possibility of these Hebrew slaves combining their efforts into armies and trying to overthrow him. The great Pharaoh is the ruler of Egypt, and with such a large population of Hebrews he begins to develop a sense of paranoia.
