<TITLE>24. Par 255-263</TITLE>L-255 All right, she comes on down, and these big dark men packing her, just hold like this, walks down to the edge of the water like that, and she slips off her shoes. And one maid has the towels, and another one has the soap. And she was going down for her morning bath. So she goes down there and she starts to--to make ready for her bath. She slips off her shoes, and said, "I'll stick my toes in the water and see if it's warm yet. Oh, it's just nice, just... What is that out there?"

L-256 "Oh," Miriam, little Miriam said, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, she's done spied that ark."
"Oh," she said, "is that a crocodile?"
One of those big strong men said, "Just a minute; I'll find out." Splash, splash, splash, walks out into the water, picks it up like this, and walks in. Said, "Your majesty..." gives it to the maid. And the maid takes it over and gives it to her like that, and she sets it down.
She said, "What is it? Whew, stinks. Got tar all over it. Look here, it's got a hole in the top of it."
And Miriam said, "Oh, oh, there goes my little brother. There goes my little brother."

L-260 And so they opened it up like this. "Oh, it was a baby." And it begin... The prettiest little baby in the world... And, oh, a God Who could cause hate, could cause love; and all the love that He could put in a human's heart, a mother for a child, He put in that girl's heart. And she--she said, "It's one of Heb... I know what it is. It's that ill father of mine. He's so mean. He called all them little Hebrew children to be killed. And one of them mothers has just throwed their baby out, expecting it to land wherever it may. Oh, he's wicked. Well, he'll not kill this one, because this one's mine." Uh-huh, see how God is a-doing?

L-261 She picked him up and [Brother Branham makes a kissing sound--Ed.] she kisses him. And the baby cried. And when it cried, it just warmed her heart. She said, "Poor little thing." Said, "I'll take him and I'm going to call him... I'm going to give him a name." And there's where he got his name.
What was his name? [Congregation says, "Moses."--Ed.] Moses. And "Moses" means "took out of the water." See?

L-263 She said, "Now, I will call him Moses, and he will be my own baby. I will keep him." But now, she said, "But I'm a maid; I can't nurse him. I--I--I don't have no way of feeding him." They didn't have these bottles and things then. Women didn't smoke cigarettes and like they do now (You see?), and poison themselves up. So said, "Well, if you know a..." Said, "What--what will I do?" So she said, "I..."
And one of them said, "I will tell you, your majesty, I will find a wet nurse for your baby."
"Oh," she said, "that's very good."
A little Something spoke, a Angel standing there at the bush, said, "Miriam, there's your chance. There's your chance." Little Miriam ran out. And said, "Don't you say a thing now, don't you let on. You go out and say you will 'find a nurse,' and go get your mother."
All right, so she said that. She said, "Your majesty..."
