The Moses Story

The biblical story of Moses starts before he was born, in 1527 B.C. to Jochebed, who was a Levite (Jewish) slave. At the time Pharoah had ordered that all male children born to Hebrew slaves should be killed. Jochebed sent her son Moses down the Nile in a small boat, where he was found by Pharoah's daughter and raised as a prince.

Moses grew up and had an interesting life, which included talking to God as a burning bush, and leading the Hebrews out of Egypt (through the parted Red Sea) and into Israel.

We offer several costumes from the Moses story, including Jochebed, Pharoah, Bithiah (Pharaoh's daughter), Moses (as an adult), Moses brother Aaron, and various other Egyptian and Hebrew costumes.
