A little baby. He was just three months old. And what happened to this fine, little baby shows that God loved him, just as he loves you, and all other children. Grandmother sits down in rocker. Curtain opens on Scene 1, revealing Jochebed, the baby, and Miriam.
Grandmother reads on, without interruption.
The baby's mother's name was Jochebed. And he had an older sister named Miriam and a brother named Aaron. His father was called Amram. At first, the baby did not have a name. This family lived many, many, many years ago about 3,000 years ago down in the land of Egypt.
