And when she (Yocheved) could hide him no longer, she took for him - TopicsExpress



          

And when she (Yocheved) could hide him no longer, she took for him a basket made of reeds and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and placed it among the reeds by the river bank (Exod. 2:3). The sages note that what distinguishes this basket, or rather ark (תֵּבָה), from a boat is the absence of a sail or rudder: There is no way to control its direction or outcome... Like Noahs ark, it is a vehicle completely surrendered to Gods care. Likewise we must cast ourselves upon the waters of Gods mercy and trust that he will guide our way.
