Question

The Passover Story
Pharaoh, the King of Egypt, had made a law that every boy baby of the Hebrew race should be killed. But when Moses was born, his mother made a little basket, and putting him into it, carried him down to a river and hid the cradle among the reeds (long grasses) there.
Soon after this, Pharaoh's daughter came with her servants to the river-side, and when she saw the child, she sent one of her servants to bring it to her. She took the little boy to the palace and named him Moses, and he became a great man among the Egyptians.
Moses knew that he belonged to the Hebrew race, and when he saw how badly his own people were treated, he tried to help them. One day he lost his temper and killed an Egyptian who was beating one of the Hebrew slaves. He ran away into the desert, and became a shepherd, taking care of a flock of sheep.
After a time, God appeared as a burning bush and spoke to Moses, and told him that he must go and rescue the Hebrews from slavery, as they are God’s chosen people and He has promised to protect them. Moses thought he could not do this; but God promised to help him by giving him the ability to perform miracles with his Shepherd’s staff. After this Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh, and told him that it was God's command that he should let the Hebrews go. Pharaoh became very angry, and he treated the Hebrews even worse than before.
Then Moses used miracles to turn the waters of the rivers into blood; and after that he caused large numbers of frogs to run over the land and through the houses. He also brought locusts and other insects to torment the people, and caused many of the farm animals which belonged to the Egyptians to grow sick and die, doing all these miracles with the staff which God had given him. But Pharaoh would not listen to him. (continued next page)
At last, God sent a final plague; the angel of death killed the first-born child of every Egyptian home; but the Hebrews had sacrificed a lamb and smeared its blood across their door frames, so the plague passed over their houses.
Then Pharaoh was frightened into obeying God, and he let the Hebrews go; so they left at once, and God guided them by a pillar of cloud and fire.
When the Hebrews had reached the Red Sea, they found that Pharaoh was chasing them with a large army. But God commanded Moses to stretch his staff over the sea; he did so, and the waters parted, making a high wall upon either side, so that the Hebrews passed through and reached the other side in safety. Pharaoh and his army followed and were all drowned.
When the Hebrews saw that they were safe, they sang a beautiful song of praise to God, and then they went on their way again.
