Keeping this in view, who nursed Moses when he was pulled from the river?
Jochebed nursed Moses for twenty-four months (Ex. Rabbah 1:26). The midrash asserts that although Jochebed gave birth to Moses, he is called the son of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, because she raised him (BT Sotah 19b).
Similarly, how long was Moses Midian? In the Bible Moses spent 40 years in voluntary exile in Midian after killing an Egyptian. There, he married Zipporah, the daughter of Midianite priest Jethro (also known as Reuel).
Accordingly, who was Moses real mother?
Bithia Jochebed
What did God do when Moses died?
33:20—23 makes it clear that when Moses asked to see God's face, God said to Moses that no one could see His face and live. So, God placed Moses in a crack in the mountain and put His hand over him, removing His hand only after He had passed over.
