"Bible God Protects Baby Moses" Coloring Page

Welcome to a special Bible coloring page! Today, you will bring to life the inspiring story of how God protected baby Moses. This story, found in the book of Exodus, shows God's loving care and clever plan to save a special baby who would grow up to lead His people. As you color, think about how God watches over and protects His children.

What is shown in this coloring page?

Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, was afraid of the Hebrew people and ordered that all their baby boys be thrown into the Nile River. A Hebrew mother, Jochebed, hid her newborn son for three months. When she could hide him no longer, she placed him in a waterproof basket and set it among the reeds by the riverbank. The baby's sister, Miriam, watched from a distance. Pharaoh's daughter came to bathe in the river, discovered the baby, and took pity on him. Miriam bravely offered to find a Hebrew woman (the baby's own mother!) to nurse him. Pharaoh's daughter named the baby Moses and raised him as her own, unknowingly fulfilling God's plan of protection. This coloring page shows the moment the basket is discovered, a scene of divine rescue and hope.
