Miriam lay her brother's reed cradle, near the river bank. It hardly moved as no breeze blew during the Hamsin. Miriam peered through the bulrushes as a white arm drew closer the reed cradle with her baby brother in it. Bitya, Pharaoh's daughter, lifted the baby, deciding to adopt him. When he refused to suckle from Egyptian wet nurses, Miriam appeared saying he is an Israelite baby who will only suckle from a Hebrew woman. She'll bring someone.
