MOSÈ, SALVATO DALLE ACQUE In Egitto, i discendenti dei figli di Giacobbe diventarono un popolo numeroso. Un nuovo faraone, che aveva dimenticato quanto Giuseppe aveva fatto per salvare il regno dalla carestia e temendo che gli ebrei potessero diventare più potenti degli egiziani, li rese schiavi e li costrinse a lavorare nella costruzione delle sue città. Ma, nonostante le fatiche e il duro lavoro, il popolo di Israele continuava a crescere. Allora il faraone ordinò di gettare nel Nilo tutti i neonati maschi degli ebrei. Una madre riuscì però a nascondere il suo bambino e per salvarlo lo adagiò in un cesto reso impermeabile col bitume e lo depose tra i giunchi del Nilo. Quando la figlia del faraone scese al Nilo con le sue ancelle, vide il cesto e il bambino che piangeva. Pensò: “È un bambino ebreo” e ne ebbe compassione. Lo chiamò Mosè, che significa “salvato dalle acque”, e lo crebbe come un figlio. Diventato adulto, Mosè volle visitare i cantieri dove lavoravano come schiavi gli israeliti. Ma quando vide un egiziano picchiare un ebreo, colpì l’egiziano così forte da ucciderlo. Spaventato dalle conseguenze del suo gesto, Mosè fuggì lontano dove la punizione del faraone non poteva raggiungerlo. Giunto nel paese di Madian, si mise al servizio del sacerdote Ietro e sposò una delle sue figlie. 32 PARENTING BibbiadeiRagazzi_Interno.indd 32 30/01/17 15.37 BibbiadeiRagazzi_Interno.indd 33 30/01/17 15.37 spe.estero@stpauls.it 15
