In the traditional Jewish literature, Moses also experienced a similar experience: the Egyptian Pharaoh had a strange dream and called a magician to interpret it for him. They explained that an Israeli baby would be born and he would destroy Egypt. The famous Jewish historian Josephus Flaviu also recorded that an Egyptian scribe predicted the same thing. The Pharaoh ordered the midwife to throw the baby into the Nile and drown it. As a result, the nation of Israel fell into a state of complete helplessness, but the baby was saved under the protection of God.
