The book of Exodus tells us that Moses' parents belonged to the tribe of Levi ( Ex.. 2:1 ). Moses was born in Egypt ( Exodus. 2-2 ) in the reign of the pharaoh who "knew not Joseph" ( Exodus. 1:8 ), who was the first nobleman under his predecessor. The governor questioned the loyalty Egypt descendants of Joseph and his brothers and turned into slaves of the Jews.
But the hard work has not reduced the number of Jews, and Pharaoh ordered to drown in the Nile all newborn Jewish male babies. At that time the family was born the son of Amram, Moses.

Not having more opportunities to hide it, she left the baby in a basket of reeds and tar oils, bitumen and pitch in the reeds on the banks of the Nile , where he was found by Pharaoh's daughter, who came there to swim.
