WATER AND MOSES

From: www.can-you-answer.com

WATER occupies a very IMPORTANT PLACE in the life of MOSES.
1. NAME MOSES:-
The king’s daughter who adopted him as her own son, said to herself: “I pulled him out of water, and so I name him Moses.” So, the very name is connected with water.

2. BABY MOSES:-
The Bible says that when Moses was 3 months old his mother took a basket made of reeds and covered it with tar to make it water tight. She put the baby in the basket and the basket in the water. So water was used to save baby Moses.

3. YOUNG MOSES:-
When young, Moses killed an Egyptian and fled from Egypt towards Midyan.
In MIDYAN, water became the basis of his safety, RESIDENCE and MARRIAGE….… It is strange that the Holy Quran says that Moses arrived at the WATER OF MIDYAN. Strange way to say that somebody arrives at the water of some place. A community of the people were watering. Some girls came to water. Moses watered from them. The father of the girls called Moses to give payment because “thou did water for us”, and offered one of his daughters in marriage.
MOSES narrated the story of killing the Egyptian and fleeing from Egypt, and the old father of the girls replied “fear not thou hast escaped from the wrong doing people.”

4. OLD MOSES:-
When Moses was old, the water of the sea was divided and Moses and his men walked across the sea on the dry path between two walls of water. Pharaoh and his men were all drowned. So water was again used to save Moses when old.
