BABY MOSES

At the 3rd year after the birth of Moses, Pharaoh was sitting at a ceremony with his family and all the
princes of the kingdom together with the young Moses.

And the young Moses stretched forth his hand upon the king's head, and took the crown from the
king's head and placed it on his own head.

Pharaoh and all the princes were terrified when they saw what the boy had done. Pharaoh with astonishment asked for the advise against the young Moses for what he did.

Balaam son of Beor the magician tried convincing the king and princes that the King should kill the young boy(Moses) "If it please the king, let us now spill his blood upon the ground, lest he grow up and take
away the government from thy hand, and the hope of Egypt perish after he shall have
reigned."

Balaam requested pharaoh to call all judges & wisemen of Egypt to determine the judgement of death to the young Moses.

And Pharaoh sent all the wisemen of Egypt before him and an angel of the Lord came amongst them, and he was like one of the wise men of Egypt.

And the king said to the wise men, Surely you have heard what this Hebrew boy(Moses) who is
in the house has done, and thus has Balaam judged in the matter.

And the angel, who seemed like one of the wise men of Pharaoh, answered and said as
follows, before all the wise men of Egypt and before the king and the princes; "If it please the king let the king send for men who shall bring before him an onyx stone( It is a black shiny mineral gemstone) and a coal of fire(charcoal), and place them before the child, and if the child shall take the onyx stone, then shall we know he used wisdom to take Pharaoh's crown and we must kill him.

But if he takes his hand upon the coal, then shall we know that it was not with Wisdom/knowledge that he took Pharaoh's crown and the boy moses shall not be killed.

And the thing seemed good in the eyes of the king and the princes, so the king did
according to the word of the angel of the Lord who the king thought was one of the Egyptian wisemen. He ordered both the Onyx stone and the coal to be brought before the 3 year old Moses.

And they placed the boy before them, and the lad endeavored to stretch forth his hand to
the onyx stone, but the angel of the Lord took his hand and placed it upon the coal, and
the coal became extinguished in his hand, and he lifted it up and put it into his mouth,
and burned part of his lips and part of his tongue, and he became heavy in mouth and
tongue( A reason Moses was a stammerer).

And when the king and princes saw this, they knew that Moses had not acted with
wisdom in taking off the crown from the king's head. So the king and princes refrained from killing Moses and he remained in Pharaoh's house, growing up, and the Lord was with him.
