She is known for her act of faith, love and determination to save her son Moses from the Pharaoh’s order, who hid him for three months and then placed him in a basket and set him adrift in the Nile river, where Pharaoh’s daughter found him and raised him as her own son. She is also the mother of Aaron and Miriam, her actions and faith are remembered by the Israelites and are an important part of the story of Moses and the Israelites liberation from Egypt.
