Graphic Bible · Scene 8 of 14

The three-month-old infant Moses safely wrapped in undyed linen in the protective arms of an anonymous ancient Hebrew mother seated in a dim domestic room; an anonymous father stands watch by a closed doorway. Quiet protection, no basket river scene, no soldiers. The attached infant reference gives only the baby identity.
