TALK ABOUT THE BIBLE STORYTALK ABOUT THE BIBLE STORYOpen your Bible to Exodus 1 and tell the Bible story.
• Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, did not like the
Hebrews; he thought there were too many of
them. He wanted to harm Hebrew baby boys.
• One mother wanted to protect her baby boy.
She hid him for three months; then she could
not hide him any longer. She made a basket
from reeds that grew near the river. She coated
the inside and outside of the basket to keep the
water out. Then she put the baby in the basket
and set the basket in the tall grass by the edge
of the river. The mother told the baby’s sister,
Miriam, to watch what would happen next.
• Pharaoh’s daughter came to the river. She saw
the basket among the reeds and sent a servant
to get the basket. When she saw the baby in the
basket, he was crying. She felt sorry for him and
said, “This is one of the Hebrew boys.”
• Miriam said, “Should I go and call one of the
Hebrew women to take care of the baby?”
• “Go,” Pharaoh’s daughter said. “I will pay her to
take care of this baby.” So the baby’s mother
took him home. When he was older she took
him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her
son. She named him Moses.

to let My people go. I will show Pharaoh My
power. Tell the people that I will free them.”
• Moses and Aaron went again to speak to
Pharaoh. “God says, ‘Let My people go!’” said
Moses. Again Pharaoh said, “No!”
• To show His power, God made all the water in
the Nile River undrinkable. But Pharaoh would
not listen. He did not let the people go.
• Eight more times Moses and Aaron went to
Pharaoh. Each time God made something
happen to the Egyptians—frogs, gnats, flies,
hail, locusts, and no sunlight during the day. But
Pharaoh still would not let the people go.

• One day Moses was tending his father-in-law’s
sheep. He was far away from everyone, in the
wilderness by a mountain.
• Moses saw a bush that was on fire. But the bush
did not burn up! Moses went closer to see this
amazing sight.
• Then God spoke to Moses from the bush. God
called Moses’ name, and Moses answered. God
told Moses to remove his sandals because this
was a special place. Then God told Moses His
plans to bring the Israelite people out of Egypt.
• Moses spoke with God and tried to make
excuses. But God told Moses, “You will be the
one to do this!”

wads in obvious places around the room. Challenge
