Moses was born in Egypt on the 7th of Adar in the Hebrew calendar year 2368 from creation, which corresponds to approximately 1393 BCE. This timing places his birth in the late 14th century BCE. He was born during a time when the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt, and Pharaoh had decreed that all newborn Israelite boys be killed. Moses was saved by his mother, who placed him in a basket on the Nile River, where he was found and raised by Pharaoh's daughter.
