Mother of Moses

JOCHEBED

I think the wine is going to your head, Amram. How can you be so sure that we are going to have a son that will lead our people?

AMRAM

Are we not Levis, children of God? Did he not bless us with Aaron, who is as smart as any four year old boy that’s ever lived, Boruch Hashem, thank you. Can he not recite the Shma and all the other prayers? Does he not follow me around and help tend the sheep? And shhh, I got a message from you know who: Adonoi told me that our son will become the leader of our people. One day a tsadik. A prophet who God will speak to like He spoke to Abraham, the father of our people, who He made a covenant with. I don’t want to go around bragging, but one day, my son will be something, mark my words.
